  1. The Hour She Borrowed A Samantha Leary Short Story

    In the world of Samantha Leary, control doesn’t always raise its voice. Ann begins to see how her life has been quietly narrowed at home, and how Samantha Leary’s message at Salvation’s Gate forces her to recognize what has been happening behind closed doors all along.

  3. Maine Supreme Court weighs case on religious freedom, parental rights
    Maine’s high court heard a custody dispute over a child’s church attendance and whether alleged harm is enough to limit a parent’s religious-upbringing rights.

    Published: 6:45 PM EST November 13, 2025

    Excerpt: "The court order in question stemmed from a custody modification request by Matthew Bradeen, the father. He alleged that after the child began attending #CalvaryChapel of Portland, she started having severe panic attacks and exhibited alarming psychological signs — like leaving notes around the house that said 'the rapture is coming.' Her father said much of her concern came from believing her sister and father would not go to heaven because they did not attend the same church as her.

    "An expert witness called by the father’s side analyzed the church's sermons and testified that the teachings likely posed a psychological risk to the child. The district court accepted that assessment and granted the father final decision‑making authority on the child’s religious education."

  4. And who is behind #ProtectGirlsSports ? Why a #ChristoFascist CULT in #WestbrookME!

    Maine judge rules #CalvaryChapel is a “cult” and bans a mother from taking her daughter to church

    By Dillon Burroughs

    Excerpts: "During that hearing, the district court judge, a former president of the American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU), concluded that Bickford’s daughter experienced '#PsychologicalHarm' through her attendance at #CalvaryChapelPortland, a Bible-teaching, non-denominational church.

    "The court relied heavily on testimony from a self-described 'cult expert' who labeled the church’s teachings on spiritual warfare, fallen angels, and doctrinal certainty as 'cultic' and potentially harmful. On that basis, the court awarded the father final authority over whether the child may attend services or even read the Bible during when with her mother.

    [...]

    "The father’s lawyer argues that the church’s teachings might have contributed to the child’s anxiety and panic episodes and that the district court acted within its discretion to protect the child’s psychological welfare. The district court judge decided that images of demons, descriptions of eternal punishment, and lessons on spiritual warfare in the Church’s youth curriculum created an environment inappropriate for the child."

  5. Feeling the effects of harassment, discrimination, psychological abuse:

    self doubt, social marginalisation, hesitancy, unhappiness, sorrow, alienation, isolation, frozen process.

    I'm not even the target.

    It is so effective at fucking people up.
    The inexperienced people I've asked for help have only a shadow of an idea how poisonous this stuff is. Even that shadow has them wanting nothing to do with this.

    Tomorrow?

  6. Being in a relationship with a narcissist can feel like you’re constantly navigating an emotional minefield. You may know the manipulation is coming—the gaslighting, the blame-shifting, the refusal to take responsibility—but that knowledge doesn’t soften the blow.

  7. How does one recognize whether or not what one experienced was narcissistic abuse?

    It's not like one can ask the hypothetical abuser. They will deny it. Is learning about the patterns of narcissistic abuse and subsequently recognizing how they show up in one's lived experience the best one can do?

    I find that a very unsatisfactory conclusion but it does seem like the best one can do. I probably lived in a relationship with at least narcissistic abuse patterns. And the unsolvable ambiguity of it all bothers me.

  8. "This event is neutral territory. What's happening outside is left outside."

    You're wanting me to gaslight myself, pretend that the ongoing abuse and harrasment is not being done by some of the people in this room?
    I'll let them act all nice and friendly to me while every day has abuse being done to my friend continuing?

  9. Now I can see that he knew that I was ambitious and excited about degrees and careers and volunteer work and language learning and physical fitness and healthy eating and gatherings with friends. But I didn't know that he wasn't.

    He knew that he lacked any and all confidence; that he was deliberately cruel to me so that I wouldn't excel, while I blindly believed that he'd come with me into a bright future.

    Eventually I got tired of his cowardice and left.

  10. 2000 and 2001, aged 15 and 16. Happy anywhere but home. I'm sure that at this point I had #AcuteStressDisorder, #cPTSD in the making, and #ADHD-C. In English I pulled out my hair while listening to the #teacher. I binge drank when I could.

    But, hey. #Debating team, falsely accused of cheating in #maths, two #netball teams, #soccer team, AFL team, magazine committee, I'm probably forgetting some... Anything to keep me from home.

  12. "You are responsible for your own emotional experiences."

    Lets make sure that all those doing #PsychologicalAbuse, #Bullying and #Harassment have this line in their arsenal.

    I got suspicious when responsibility isn't being taken by the speaker but instead is being imposed on others.

    "I hold myself responsible for my emotional experiences", could be a worthy goal.

    "I'm not responsible for the emotional pain and suffering that my actions have foreseeably caused", is just more crap.

  13. CW: CW: Suicidal Ideation

    Suicidal Ideation A 🧵

    I’ve suffered suicidal ideation for most of my adult life. It obviously stems from my childhood abuse and was reinvigorated following my motor vehicle accident.

    Other examples are episodes of heightened trauma after my Millie was murdered, during my PhD etc.
