@avant-garde i understand why it feels that way sweet. Sadly it's true that some people have more power and do what they want. Just remember that he no longer has that power sweetheart, you are safe now ❤️.

@MissGremlin

Safety is an illusion. I'll never be safe. Not really. I'm too much trouble for him to not silence me eventually. Like he tried 8 years ago.

@avant-garde oh sweetheart, i truly get this feeling. It's horrible to never feel safe but i hope that one day that will change for you. Sending you so much love and hugs beautiful ❤️.

Hi @avant-garde

as @MissGremlin said it is clear this holiday being so close would bring up so many things, and the community is here to support you. Such a difficult time and so many hard memories that will come up, please remember there are many ways to seek support both here and through a phone call - it is so important to be able to get the care you need and to feel the comfort you need.

Be kind to yourself and reach out as needed

@Mindee

Hey @avant-garde , sorry to hear things were not okay yesterday. I'm sitting with you and I'm here if you need a listening ear, company, or someone to bounce ideas off.

@tyme

I went to this place today that a friend of mine recommended... I started checking the ingredients lists and they weren't as detailed as I needed them to be... my heart sank and tears started as my thoughts got darker, hating my dad and hating these allergies that are solely his fault...

Awwww. I'm so so so sorry that it brought back all that past trauma. You deserve so much better.

I'm here for you. I know what you are talking about. You don't have to go into anymore detail if you don't feel comfortable @avant-garde Please just know that I hear you.

@tyme

I often don't mind catering to my allergies, I'm actually good at it, but it's when I go somewhere new and the lack of awareness becomes apparent that I start regretting having even ventured out

I'm sure you would be very good at managing your needs @avant-garde . At the same time, I can only imagine that each time you are confronted with a situation even slightly overwhelming, it can get outta hand because then you have to try and focus on ingedients.. and they aren't always the clearest!!!

Anything I can do at the moment to make things easier?

@tyme

No chance you have a TARDIS and can teleport to give me a hug and let me cry is there?
