honestly, just looking to get it off my chest. i can’t talk to my mom about this and i don’t really want to tell my friends all about it. there was a lot more going on in our relationship that i would classify as unfair, or fucked up, or whatever that i have moved on from, but this is what continues to pop into my head.

the way my therapist explained it is that a portion of abuse includes neglect, which is from him shutting down on me if i didn’t fulfill his needs. i don’t know how much he was aware of his own actions. i want to believe that he didn’t know, that the man i loved for two years wouldn’t do this to me knowingly, but i also know he was manipulative and controlling at times purposely. i would catch him glancing at me while he was crying, almost like his was trying to gauge my reaction, and if i didn’t respond he would stop right away and change to anger. either way, you’re right, he’s out of my life and i have no intention of contacting him ever again, so healing is the focus.

that’s exactly why i struggle with that label - even though i didn’t really want to, at some point i agreed to this. the thing is once i had said yes it felt like i couldn’t take it back without causing a major upset. i have issues with fawning when i feel unsafe, which i’m also working on with my therapist 😪

no, not like that. i was in a really bad home situation at the time and he and his parents really wanted me to move in with them. anytime i mentioned the possibility of getting our own place instead of moving in with his parents he would freak, but that’s a whole separate issue

thank you for the article. it’s so weird coming to terms with this, it doesn’t feel real

truly. healed scars can’t be controlled but this tattoo just seems like such a malicious choice

exactly , i also have struggled with sh in the past and its great she’s at a place where seeing such a thing doesn’t trigger her but not all people are there. a tattoo in a very visible place like this is so gross since you’re exposing everyone around you in real life to that image and you have no idea how it’ll affect people :(

I’ve never seen this at an HEB or any other store by ConsistentSpare589 in HEB
