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

@ENKELI

She's part of my craft group and so I'm familiar with her and sit on the opposite side of the room because she doesn't have a volume control or mute button either and talks VERY inappropriately so the entire group can hear

She makes me sick, yet I'm the one who gets in trouble when I call her out.

Re: Running

@avant-garde the same thing happens to me.I'm the one who gets called out if I speak up.

I used to be a really confident person but a combination of bullying work bosses and ex friend took that away from me.

I don't socialise anymore, I'm too worried that I'll be judged.

It sucks when the only option is to put up and shut up.

@ArraDreaming

I feel like a piece of toilet paper stuck to someone's shoe

How are you

Re: Running

@avant-garde no sweetheart, I find you very easy to love. I know it's different to an in person relationship but I think you are quite lovable. You have many great traits that some people I know in real life don't have.

You are honest, show consideration, vulnerable at times, strong at times.

I often think I might be too needy sometimes, this is not something that I feel you have to worry about. You are definitely not needy.
