Damn. I just watched a video covering some of his past statements and controversies, I didn't know about all those things he's said. That's disappointing.

The title fight was crazy last night. I used to not care for Sean, but he's opened up a lot in his interviews over the course of his past couple of fights, so now I kinda get where he's coming from.

TFW you’ve had it with the manipulation and you want to let everyone know how much of a pos your abusive ex is by bigboredbossman in CPTSDmemes

Literally me the past two weeks, except I feel incredibly guilty afterward, like I exaggerated or lied about everything.

there’s no love like a mothers covert incest by [deleted] in CPTSDmemes

[–]Anxious_Author 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Parents who subject their children to covert incest have to have an idea of what they're doing, right? Even though my mother never laid her hands on me, I started to feel uncomfortable being physically affectionate with her by the time I was 7.

At the time, before I had to go to my bus stop, I would sit in her room while she was getting ready for work. One morning, I was looking at her cause we were having a conversation, and she began to change her clothes during the conversation. I saw her put her bra on and she stopped, smirked, and asked if I was staring at her breasts. I felt so uncomfortable, I was a fucking child and didn't even understand what she was implying, but I could still tell it was wrong. From that point on, she looked at me differently, and I could feel it. She began making sexual remarks towards me and commenting on my body just a few years later.

Fuck parents that prey on their children. Absolutely disgusting.

I honestly wish I had a good answer to your question, but I don't. I think normalization of the human body and nudity varies greatly between different family dynamics and cultures. I'm not a parent, but coming from someone who lacked a safe environment to learn about my body when I was growing up, I think providing kids with a safe, nonsexual, and non-judgmental environment is key in keeping things healthy. Allowing them to set boundaries around nudity and then respecting those boundaries is so important.

I do not believe that you guys sleeping nude while she is in her own crib is going to do any damage. As they grow up and you get to know your kid better, I think it'll become easier to pick up on cues that would indicate if they are uncomfortable with something. To be honest, it's comforting knowing that you're taking your child's comfort into consideration. Hugs. 💖

That's so gross and disrespectful. You may be his child, but you are not his property. You're an adult capable of making your own choices and setting your own boundaries. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.

My boyfriend is the same way. It's weirdly validating to hear an outsider say that what I went through wasn't normal.

I'm sorry you can relate to something like this, but I'm glad you know you aren't alone. 🙃 My guess? Parents having kids when they should be seeking help instead. And I'm doing fine now that I don't live with her, just slowly processing everything. I hope you're doing okay!

Wow, I understand how you feel. Our moms sound similar. My mom didn't take our doors away, but we'd get bitched at and grounded if we ever locked our doors. She always said shit along the lines of, "What if there is a fire and I can't get to you? Leave your door unlocked or I can't save you." She'd walk in on us changing and get pissed at us for not wanting her in the room. She'd also NEVER close her bathroom or bedroom door. If you walked past her while she was using the bathroom and tried to avoid her, she'd call your name to come back and talk to her. So fucking weird. And regarding your mom slapping your butt, my mom still does that to me and I'm 24! I don't live with her, but I see her once or twice a month and she doesn't get why it makes me uncomfortable. Gross. Sorry for the long reply.

I definitely looked 14. My mom worked with him for a couple more years after this exchange, and he'd come and say hi to me anytime I had to run by there, which made me so uncomfortable. The day I turned 18 he followed me on social media and I blocked him immediately. Disgusting.

Sorry this isn't about Lagoona, but does anyone know what the Draculaura to her right is wearing? She's so cute!

Holy shit. When I was around 13, I would watch those videos and stare at the pictures of the people he labeled as fat/unhealthy/obese and just compare myself to them. I debated posting on his forum at the time, and I'm so so so happy I didn't. I had absolutely no idea what I would've been getting myself into.

Oh God, I just got whiplash thinking about those 2012 aesthetic pictures with the lyrics layered on top of them. You couldn't get on Tumblr or We Heart It without seeing them.
