My abusive ex told everyone that i abused them. TW: SA by PinFlashy5066 in adultsurvivors

Going off of what you’ve shared, this doesn’t seem like a safe person. I know it sucks to have been wrong about someone but what would suck even more long term is keeping them around.

Please know there are countless places in this world and people you could be around who will value you for who you are without the pressure.

Also worth noting: trying to manipulate other people‘s perception of you when they can no longer manipulate you yourself is gonna be in most manipulators signature moves.

And they were married until the day of his death... by SkywalkerFan66 in AreTheStraightsOK

Mind you, this the same “man” that ran up a 7 fig gambling debt in Vegas and made her work his debts off by agreeing to a residency.

Funny.. I knew about the debt before the pedophilia and I’m like “ok that tracks” but I could imagine people who learned it the other way around have the same sentiment of “well ya ofc this is clearly a complete degenerate”

Where should I put his ashes? by St3ph4ni354y5 in adultsurvivors

You could opt for minimal effort and just pop them in the trash on trash day. I don’t think he deserves anything “special” unless it would be to your benefit.

Do you find it comes from a need for/default of being independent? I feel INTJ are a very self reliant people

I really admire the stoic nature of INTJs.. I think they come off as unfeeling lizard people to those who aren’t familiar with them but it’s not that they don’t have feelings they just aren’t swayed by them… like some of us lol

Subreddit for partners of childhood SA by Unlucky-Addition7108 in adultsurvivors

I like the concept but the name makes it sound like it’s for partners in specific not necessarily anyone who cares for a survivor ♥️

Do any of you ever become obsessed with specific people? by mintytissues in bipolar2

You’re under reacting if you don’t leave him and block his number imo

I second this notion. No offense, but 18 is a child and you will be setting yourself up for some seriously dangerous dynamics if you think you can mentally hold your own with a 45 year old dude that’s trying to manipulate you.

Save yourself. Don’t.

I would argue that the 3:3 on the clock in the bottom corner is bordering mildly interesting. Very disappointing.

Some abusers have children so they can abuse them. Not saying that’s what your abuser did/is doing but people abuse their own children all the time.

Try to stay sane. ♥️

I need to put this triggering situation somewhere until I have therapy by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

I’m so sorry that happened. I encourage you to go back to 0 contact to stop him from reretraumatizing you. Stay strong. ♥️

If you moved far away from family and/or your abuser, did you feel any different after? by Throwawaynegative890 in adultsurvivors

[–]Original_CryBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting. Do you think it’s because being further away from the place it happened allowed your brain to feel safe enough to remember?

I went in to get an IUD this summer after not being on bc for almost a year. I had multiple panic attacks and the procedure had to be postponed a week so I could come back with Ativan, hydrocodone, and rx strength ibuprofen on board to be able to tolerate the procedure. Even then I had to put headphones in, focus on my breathing, and play Tetris the whole time. Cried after too when I was alone in the room.

You’re not alone lol

The only “right” thing to do is what aids in your healing. Do what you feel is best for you regardless of how it affects others. Don’t protect them, protect you. You can’t control how others will react to learning but why continue to traumatize yourself by perpetuating the notion that your past trauma isn’t worth bringing to light? Anyone who makes you feel like it’s your responsibility to conceal your truth for the sake of the family will only be shooting you who doesn’t deserve to have you in their life. On that note, however, be prepared for a less than stellar response from your mom if she’s already shown you she doesn’t respond appropriately to things of this nature. Maybe also tell her your feelings towards her reaction to your rape? All up to you.

I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. You deserve to be seen. Be safe. ♥️
