  1. This is a trigger warning. This is very graphic.

    As part of my therapy I visualise how those white men raped me as a child... forced me to bend over and penetrate and ejaculate into me.

    As part of this process a further memory came

  2. #Gaslighting creates unnecessary additional #traumas. It is #abusive & #manipulative.
    I have always struggled with forgiveness towards gaslighters. It's literally #crazymaking & it's harmful to our souls. It makes you question yourself, your realities & it dissolves trust.

  3. RE: mastodon.social/@magdelenehall

    The inherent Classism of the British State is fucking this one up.
    'The victims should not be allowed to speak' in their opinion, it's this exact bigotry which allowed the Survivors to be preyed upon for so long.
    If the Grooming Gangs had targeted Middle Class white girls it never would have happened.
    And if you think Tommy Fucking Robinson is going to help these ladies, you don't know Tommy Fucking Robinson.

  4. "When white smoke emerges from the Sistine Chapel, the new pontiff will have no credibility with survivors if he has a history of having enabled sexual abuse by concealing it from the public and allowing perpetrators to remain in ministry in any capacity."

  5. #CW: talk of abuse, control, and food.

    This morning at breakfast my partner apologized for leaving the heel* of the bread loaf for me, and I was reminded of how much my ex used to control my eating.

    *there was another loaf thawing, so I could have easily eaten that instead of the heel.

    I used to get a "talking-to" for:
    - eating the last of anything my ex might want.
    - not eating the last of anything my ex didn't want.
    - asking for things I wanted (like Swiss cheese**).
    - cooking something for myself that they liked.
    - cooking something for myself they didn't like.
    - not cooking things just the way they liked.
    - eating "too much".
    - being "too thin".

    **earlier in my relationship with my current partner, while we were at the grocery store, they asked if there was any cheese I wanted. I said "I like Swiss" as I broke down crying, following up with "but I'm not really allowed to get it".

    My current partner is amazing, and my ex is my ex for a lot of good reasons, and I'm happy-sad crying a bit this morning, and I just want anyone who this list resonates with to know they aren't alone—that's abuse, plain and simple—and you can get out too.

    Here's some info on coercive control (just ignore the ad for BetterHelp, because fuck them):

  6. So very true. I've suffered much, but because of that, I am who I am, and I mostly love me.
