Thank you very much for sharing.
It just touched something pretty inside my soul and resonated with feelings that I had never describe.
For the way you talk about it, I hope you are already healed
aww you’re very sweet thank you! i’m 26 now so thankfully i’ve worked through many of my issues as i’ve gotten older. life can be really difficult sometimes but it does get better
i just binge read this and honestly it’s one of the best story progressions and writing i’ve read in a while. i grew up being abused by a family member as well and the author really does a good job portraying how people in those situations often deal with the trauma. the phone scene especially resonated with me bc my abuser would do similar things. acting nice out of nowhere but somehow still making the gift seem more like a burden since they can use it as a way to hold control over you or say that they do these nice things for you so they cant possibly be an abuser. trying to differentiate your feelings for an abusive family member is so difficult. there were so many times where i couldn’t tell if i wanted my abuser to love me or if i wanted them to completely disappear from my life. i see a lot of myself in won and im so sad cause i know this precious baby is about to go through so much more ;-;
