Talking through trauma and PTSD

Running

Running

"Behind every strong person is a story that gave them no choice"

My life is all about a lack of choice.

I'm alive because death would've outed him, it would have sealed his fate in prison.

TW: cultic, rape, trafficking, torture

I'm the daughter of a Satanist...

One trained to breed...

One pregnant at 6 years old...

One prostituted to whoever could afford her...

The girl her dad didn't want...

One men hired to have fun with...

One men experimented with...

One who was tortured for speaking up...

One trained for the sole purpose to please her buyer...

Regardless of age...

Still though...

One who never stayed silent...

One who broke free... twice...

One who rose up...

One who seeks to prove them wrong...

One who has been running for 15 years...

One who just needs to feel heard...

One who went through hell and survived...

That this Phoenix can rise...

She will not be burned...

She's proven that...

I have proven that...

I'm 35 and 90% of those I've been in prolonged abusive situations insufficient evidence for prosecution

A system that protects the abuser more than the survivor

And yet I still try

I don't try for me, I try for the ones after me, the ones like me, that they will see their justice

But for now I run...

From a dad that wants me silenced...

From the nightmares that plague my sleep...

From the memories that invade my mind...

From the choices made for me...

Didn't expect that to come out as poetic as it did

I needed 50 blank answer sheets, that's how.

The families that can't be there are getting copies for their kids

ohhh i see @avant-garde that's really cool that you're providing the quiz to those who can't make it too. what sort of questions are in these quizzes? is it like general knowledge? do you have certain topics planned out?

@rav3n

Do you remember the show "are you smarter than a 5th grader?"

It's a spin on that, there are 6 subjects and I went through the curriculum to create a question from each grade.

Question 1 - Grade 1

Question 10 - Grade 10

The worksheets include language, math and a homework sheet, being questions from last year

@rav3n

nope, it's me wanting to see how stupid the adults are

this is our 3rd year, I didn't expect it to be this popular, we had 7 tables in 2023 with 8 people on each table

Re: Running

I met with my social worker and she said to expect to have a decreased capacity in the lead up to the police interview.

I think I'm feeling that right now, that I'm over the disappointments, the inconsiderate actions.

I'm hosting a quiz night for my church and they don't seem to give a crap, people forgetting, not putting it in standard correspondence...

I mean what the heck! I feel like all this work is being disregarded and forgotten.

And frankly it hurts! It hurts so so much!
