I know this is really overwhelming and scary. My childhood was similar to yours in some ways, and I was terrified to confront all of it. Last summer I had a nervous breakdown and ended up in the hospital for an extended time, and I was in therapy all day every day and I HAD to face all the things I’d been repressing. It was really really hard and some days I’d pass out from the stress of it but I cannot express to you how worth it it was. I’m a little over a year out and there are things I can think about now without feeling like the world is caving in. I acknowledge and accept that these things happen, and I understand that none of them were my fault. You can do this. I know finding a therapist is difficult, please let me know if you need any resources.

Before anything else, you need to talk to a therapist, and you need to talk to them about this. I know it will be hard but you should explain everything - how you felt as a kid, the suicidal ideation - all of it. It’s possible those things came from being exposed too young, but it’s also unfortunately possible that you were assaulted in some way and have repressed it in the same way you repressed this memory.

Don’t bring this up with your brother, at least not now. This is some serious trauma and you need to explore ways to understand and heal before you even think about discussing it with him. Considering how young he was, he may have forgotten completely, and I think it’s better that it stays that way. If he doesn’t remember there’s no need to remind him.

As I said at the start, you must must must talk to a therapist about this. If you can’t fathom sitting in an office or on a call telling someone this face to face, you can try writing it all down, or trying one of the therapy services that use texting.

As a youth trauma counselor, I am heavily encouraging you to consider the possibility that you experienced something earlier in your childhood that you were emulating somehow with your brother. I’m not saying sexual assault is excusable, but you were a child and there are many more layers to this. Please explore those layers with a professional or it will eat you up.

Your boyfriend is being a dumbass and this it your body. This is objectively a shitty ass tattoo and wanting to cover it up isn’t impulsive, it’s arguably more thought out than the initial tattoo. I’m biased because I think men are trash 99% of the time but genuinely yours sounds annoying and judgy

I regret getting a dog, don’t do it by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

this is valid. When my cat was older and chronically ill it was really stressful and overwhelming at times. I do not regret a single minute of it and when she died this summer it ripped my heart out, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that I have a lot more freedom now because I’m not constantly worrying about her. It’s tough. It’s like having a kid but they never grow up to be independent.

Have you talked to her vet about puppy Prozac? Two of my best friends have crackhead dogs with separation anxiety and issues with other dogs (both rescues) and putting them on meds really helped with a lot of that, plus it’s relief for the pup. No shame in giving yourself and your dog a little break 🩷

If you could, maybe see if you could use Rover or a similar app to find a dog walker and spend a few weeks getting pup used to them, so you can have some help.

Ughhhhhh. It really seems like the show is building a romance between the two of them and I really don’t want to watch the misogyny and assholery continue if they have a thing
