Which reminds me.

I have never said that everyone should forgive their abusers.

I have never said that people shouldn’t react badly to being abused.

I have never really told people how to react to having been abused, at all.

And yet I get these furious asks from people insisting that I have said and done these things, always in response to something that didn’t mean that at all whatsoever.

Pretty much any time I talk about my own abuse history, I get these asks. Because apparently I’m not allowed to deal with abuse in my own way, because my own way doesn’t fit what other people want to do in their own lives. And of course there can only be one right way to do things, right? Right!?
