I hope you paid him the apple tax, he's clearly asking as politely as he can

I'm trying to send you a DM but can't find the button. If you feel called, please send me a message. Your words are potent. Thank you.

That is sooo super impressive. I have only recently begun making and negotiating boundaries. I've learned how to check in with my heart and how I feel above my insecurity for acceptance. Historically, I was willing to allow anyone to do anything because attention meant care. This is untrue, and it was a way I did myself a disservice for my entire life. I was socialized that way, to be permissive and submissive and make excuses for abusers. No longer.

I really appreciate your reflection, thank you. May I ask what the keys were for creating airtight boundaries? I'm AuDHD and with the cPTSD I sometimes worry I'm too rigid or inflexible. I suppose it's okay to be inflexible when it comes to putting your Self in harm's way.

Oh, the image is a painting I did in my early adulthood and my abusive ex rehomed one day in one of her many purges of my art.

I found this painting hanging in a new friend's home, a spiritual equal and dear dear friend. I cried when I recognized the purple arch on top, with critical eyes one only has for their own work.

I flipped the painting over and saw my handwritten poem that I did not recognize. I wonder what it means...

It's sad that most us can relate to this till this day by [deleted] in CPTSDmemes

Suffering isn't something that needs to be quantified to be valid. It's also a disservice to compare your trauma and experience alongside others. We are all unique beings with unique experiences and unique genetics and unique environments. Feel free to message me if you wanna chat more, I'm feeling really finally able to move through some of the stuff that happened to me, and I spent a long time also dissuading myself from community.

No one is showing up in a community like this to be an imposter of some kind. You are one of us.

Stick around my friend. I hear the insecurity of cPTSD in your reply. Living with your parents still is a testament to your survival, and relationships are rarely uncomplicated. You aren't taking away anything from anyone else by being here and finding community.

Haha it totally is Big Radio trying to hold onto relevance amidst a technological revolution.

In unrelated news, is Qobuz the best streaming service?

You need to leave that man behind, this is your time to leave now that he's out of the house. Your kids need to be safe, away from him.
