Okay so it& #39;s nearly 12 am and I really want to get this off my chest:

Tw: verbal abuse
An apology for not fully realizing what happened until I started to remember my verbal abuse. A thread and a apology for @danikaharrod @luluryounes and the countless victims
Growing up I had an older brother who got picked up and teased at school and sometimes even by his aunt. I have another one but he is the middle child but this is the eldest brother.

Anyways, I wasn& #39;t exactly close to him growing up.
When I was old enough to learn why my brothers were shouting, I was nervous about getting yelled at too. My two brothers would never go a day without arguing. Typical boys.

It became an issue when I was a preteen and my parents left me alone with eldest brother.
I would be doing what I do. But when I asked him a question or try talking to him, he would talk harshly to me. But I learned to defend myself with words too. We had back and forths but what happened that truly scared me was this
Ever had someone walk up to you in a threatening way? Like, looked like they were gonna hit you kind of way? Yeah. My brother did that. Somebody I should have looked up too.

I flinched. I was so scared. It didnt help being next to the flipping stairs.
Last Thanksgiving, eldest brother was regretting some choices he never made with our late grandfather. He was mad and we all knew it.

But what got me furious was this: he got his child in the van, my neice was all tucked and ready to go. It would be a tight squeeze to get in.
So he asked if he could REMOVE MY NEICE TO GET IN THE VAN. I could tell he was going to do something he would regret. His face showed it. His son was crying in his seat because he could sense the tension.

I stood in the way of the door.
We started eachother down. This would be the first time I ever stood up to my abuser.

I even remembered how steady my voice was when I told him: "Don& #39;t touch my neice."

Luckily our dad stepped between us and my eldest brother had to climb over his son& #39;s chair to get in.
So, I had a panic attack three times that week. All because of my abuser, who was a family member.

Middle brother is my bestfriend, he knows how rough our eldest brother can be with words sometimes. Middle bro is my hero.
@luluryounes @danikaharrod I& #39;m sorry for not believing you guys at first. I feel awful. Truly awful. My abuse is probably not as worse as yours but one thing is for sure:

You guys are strong. I am admiring that.

My eldest brother caused me so much trauma in my life. That-
That sometimes I& #39;m the one yelling and stuff but that& #39;s only because I& #39;m defending myself. Sometimes I get crabby at my parents who are just asking a simple question, something I did once that made my abuser howl.

I ended up forgiving my brother.
Nobody has to forgive their abusers. Nobody has to see them. But I do, because I want to be in my little nephews life. I don& #39;t want to hide away in fear while my nephew wonders who& #39;s his god mother.

@luluryounes @danikaharrod you opened my eyes to see truth.
Aaron Ehasz is a bad man and needs to be held accountable. He doesn& #39;t deserve to run such a wonderful show anymore.

I will separate the rotten apple from the rest of the apple trees which houses good apples. @TDPforWorkers
I know this threat may be confusing but whoever I (Elite) told that I was neutral and didn& #39;t want this stuff on my dash anymore. I apologize. I was blinded and now with very clear gaslighting attempt from Ehasz I see the truth.

And the truth wins everytime.
Whoever is planning on boycotting the show because of this, please know that you& #39;re going to let this man move on to a different project and many people on his crew and the VA& #39;S will be jobless.

If you think finding a job in the animation industry was easy, think again.
Just support Devon and the other cast and crew who are working hard under Ehasz. Please consider this at least.

Thanks for finishing this thread :)
