Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

This is a little project I did earlier this week, inspired by @Faith-and-Hope on one of the art threads, also @Appleblossom and Sherry, and some others on the Carers side.

The story "reads" left to right line by line as you would a book.

Some will "get it" some probably won't but nonetheless, it depicts my "black hole" story and everything in it is chosen or placed deliberately. It's supposed to be a side by side trilogy but in this format it's the three sequential pages so the pics in the collage can be seen.

It's a little scary posting it because it means something to me but well here it is anyhow.

@Former-Member- behind IPV is always the need for power and control. Behind BPD there are difficulties dealing with emotions. There's no 'need' for power and control. There's trouble navigating feelings. My understanding anyway.

I don't know what IPV is @Former-Member

Intimate partner violence @Former-Member. DV/FV/IPV - all the same thing.

It sucks. And every time, I look in the mirror I see the scars 😔That doesn't help

Because I'm really wanting to make sure we're on the same page with at least what we're talking about, and I can't go back to that corner of the forum, both you @Former-Member and @soul were being manipulated (at the very least) by a person with a diagnosis of BPD?

You know what @soul the physical scars I can handle a lot better than the pyschological and emotional ones.. The physical ones barely bother me. Because at least I can say Look at these, the other ones you can't explain those, you can only feel them.

I was @Former-Member . @soul is still investigating and still has questions. @soul is wrestling with things I've researched and have dealt with. I know what she is wrestling with, because I wrestled with exactly the same things and questions for a VERY long time. Doesn't mean she will come to the decisions I did, just means she will probably end up investigating the same things I did and she will arrive at her own conclusions based on whatever her experiences were.

@Former-Member - I keep wanting to know why? I don't think I will ever get an answer. I consider myself to be an intelligent person. I used to be independent and strong. I have zero confidence now.

Re: Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

Ok, so the manipulation (or can we call abuse?), was overlooked and perhaps justified because of BPD?

Re: Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

@soul do you have any idea how long I went throught the why? How many of those Babushka dolls I devoted to the why? see this pic? I think the first half of those were devoted to the why.
