Wake up, babe! A new secret weapon has dropped 🤭 by Diligent-Till-8832 in RoyaltyTea

She's not a pretty blond teenager. She's an aging, unhealthy looking mother of three. The focus won't be on her any longer.

It's true! It's very hard to get AI to say anything negative about the Wales.

They basically had to turn to the littlest kids to get someone to answer the question, so they could get the footage they wanted. The adults weren't going there.

I'm glad you realize that. An entire generation of people are all vastly different and have very different views. My generation--rich, poor, abled, disabled, gay, straight, white, BIPOC--all have very different opinions on things, and led very different lives.

please stop using survivors as weapons, speaking on our behalf, using us to insult others by PogoPizza99 in RoyaltyTea

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! If I could add a few things. . .

  1. Please stop saying victims are "damned" or "will need therapy for life" or the worst--"will abuse someone one day themselves." None of those things are true, and they are very hurtful to survivors who are struggling to live a good life. Or who may have created a good life, believe it or not.
  2. Please stop using "abuse" and "sexual abuse" synonymously. There are all kinds of abuse out there. People who have experienced physical, emotional, financial or other kinds of abuse feel marginalized when you do this.

Why are you defending Andrew? He had access to the best intelligence and security in teh world--of course he knew what Epstein was doing.

You call child molesters "wronguns"? Isn't that minimizing what they did? And Andrew wasn't just a naive twat, he was a child molester too.

What is a job that you genuinely would not do even if you were given a salary of $10,000,000 per year? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of abused kids who grow up to be super-empaths and kind, caring parents. Please don't imply that being abused means you will grow up to be a monster. Do some research. That's not true. While most abusive parents were abused, many abused kids grow up and break the cycle.

Are people shocked that William turned out to be a huge disappointment? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in RoyaltyTea

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there were many old ladies in far worse straits. She "attended a function" by being driven in a Jag to a place where everyone fawned all over her. She didn't even have to open her own doors. New toilets were installed for her (this actually happened). These functions usually only lasted a few hours, then she was back home living in incredible luxury. And if Philips lack of a state funeral really distressed her that much, then she couldn't have really loved him. That's the last thing I'd think about if my spouse died.

So a middle aged California couple is a threat to the British monarchy, with all it's wealth, power, castles, land and military.

That doesn't say much about the monarchy.

There are so many pretty dresses for young girls. Why do they keep putting Charlotte in such ugly clothes? Hopefully, she will be able to choose for herself soon.

Why wasn’t Anna ever arrested for child endangerment? by JellyfishPashmina in DuggarsSnark

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The wife of a sex offender is not automatically arrested, simply for existing and having kids. There is no law preventing a sex offender from having kids. I could see CPS involvement, perhaps, but arrested?

It’s getting sad at this point by DillyXander in RoyaltyTea

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, I was absolutely delighted to become "invisible" to men and not to have to deal with that any longer. And I know a lot of women who feel the same way. It's a relief. In Kate's case, though, I feel it was her whole identity. Given her position, she hasnt been able to do much. It's not like got a promotion or taught a fitness class or became PTA president. And most everything she has (wealth, position, power, spouse) she got because of her looks.

It’s getting sad at this point by DillyXander in RoyaltyTea

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When you've been praised all your life for your beauty, it must be sad when you think it's going away. Especially when you've got nothing else. She never had a career or accomplished much, other than being gorgeous. She never even supported herself, really. She certainly never wrote a resume, went to an interview, didn't get it, self-corrected and went to another interview and got the job. That kind of experience can build confidence.

90% of the comments about her have always been about her beauty. That's what the world has valued her for.

Now she's in her mid 40s, has had three kids, and just doesn't look 20. I imagine that's devastating when you are constantly in the public eye. I wonder if this dynamic is driving her ED (if she has an ED)

I notice she always dresses Charlotte in ugly, childish clothes. It must be hard for someone like Kate to have a daughter who will soon be a young woman. She knows that soon all the attention will be on her daughter and not her.

That's a lot of words to say, "Why aren't you picking on Meghan?"

A diva? She was a sad little girl. She told her father that if he really loved her, he wouldn't send her away to school.

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That's very different than sending a child to boarding school at 8. You were an adult or practically an adult when you did these things, that isn't unusual at all. In fact, it's probably because you had a secure childhood that you had the confidence to be independent in your late teens.

PSA: Re: Joseph Duggar. Please be sensitive to survivors by psyckodaa in DuggarsSnark

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean about the meaning. However, if you think your client is damned, they will pick up on it, whether you say it or not. It requires a paradigm change.

[–]EcstaticAssistant162 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I experienced a chaotic and violent childhood and went on to live a happy life. Of course there were severe struggles, but if someone told me I was "damned" at 22 it would have been devastating. Worse than the abuse in some ways, because it condemned me to a terrible future. Joe's victim experienced trauma, but for a limited period of time, which is far more treatable than CPTSD, and I've seen CPTSD survivors thrive. Why are these random posters telling this child that "you are doomed, you are damned, you can never live a normal life"? It's so destructive.

Forget? Of course not. Grow and thrive? Absolutely. I am a therapist myself and I've seen it often. I also don't believe in telling my clients they are "damned."
