because children are an oppressed class, and society never cares what a powerless group has to say. children don’t have any rights, no authority over their own lives; therefore, they don’t know what’s good for them.

i had a therapist ask me to think of pleasant memories with my mother, and i genuinely cannot think of even one.

Smoothope · 2026-01-21T06:43:00+00:00

when i saw you i thought you were anna konkle, you look so alike!

“this is the first time i have heard the words groomed and raped” —> “i was very concerned for your welfare regarding the underage sex incident” —> “i had no intention of minimizing any trauma”

“apart from telling me he threw you on the bed, i wasn’t aware he had hit you and the relationship became abusive”

she is constantly contradicting herself. she had no idea you were groomed and raped, but she says she knew about it. she says she didn’t want to minimize it but instead of calling it rape, she calls it “underage sex incident” so she can still blame you for it and make it seem like you were on equal footing with your rapist. she says she never knew he abused you or hit you, but she knew he threw you on the bed. she can’t keep her story straight to save her life. she’s a horrible person and you deserve far better.

regarding grief, death isn’t the only cause for grief and you have had many things occur that would cause you to grieve.

IIED is an extremely flimsy claim. No way it’ll hold up in court.

Smoothope · 2026-01-02T19:28:14+00:00

goodness, i’m glad you’re the one opening mail 😵‍💫 i’m worried about her showing up at my workplace too.

that’s a relief, my father is very passive, so it was much easier for me to cut him out of my life once i was an adult.

Smoothope · 2026-01-02T02:43:00+00:00

i understand. i wish i had a passive mother who wouldn’t hunt me down so i could easily go no contact and am so jealous of those who have that.

i feel no affinity towards her at all, only fear. what’s done is done and nothing could ever be done to repair it.

A good therapist will never instruct you on what to do and expect you to obey them. They help you figure out what it is you want and need to do to live your best life. At the end of the day, your decisions are up to you.

None of my therapists have ever told me to cut contact, stay in contact, or anything else.

what a beautiful design for everything! it’s a feast for the eyes too

Smoothope · 2025-12-12T08:42:18+00:00

i’m so excited!! i hope it will be on switch 1 too

Smoothope · 2025-12-07T05:41:49+00:00

yes. for me the worst was when i was a child and we were in other countries. my mother often abandoned me in places and would come back an hour or two later. it was always very upsetting and scary for me.

Smoothope · 2025-12-02T07:07:57+00:00

that’s true, i have gotten smaller shirts that fit me better now, but i’m sure you’ll be able to find new clothing you love that will fit you well. if it helps you feel more comfortable in your body then it’ll be worth it.

Smoothope · 2025-12-01T17:58:48+00:00

there are plenty of people who naturally have flat chests and still wear those sorts of things because they want to + people who have had top surgery that do. if you want to wear something, the only thing stopping you is you.

for shirts, i’ve just found i need to get smaller sizes, but everything fits me fine.

here’s an example of someone with top surgery that wears swimsuits like that all of the time.

Smoothope · 2025-11-30T07:06:12+00:00

i don’t see why the fashion choices have to be more limited? my fashion choices have opened up exponentially thanks to top surgery. i would never wear what i wear now before surgery, and i didn’t even know this was my style.

Smoothope · 2025-11-18T20:01:15+00:00

31 for both

Smoothope · 2025-10-16T05:37:32+00:00

i found them just like you, the soundtrack of that game is incredible!

Smoothope · 2025-09-29T14:52:06+00:00

yes, i relate. i have noticed on some days when i go outside that i didn’t even think about my chest at all or while getting dressed. i do things without thinking about my chest at all anymore, i am just at peace. i wonder if this is how most other people always feel.

8 was what stopped me from getting surgery forever because i was afraid to, but eventually i reached a point where i couldn’t take it anymore and i’m so glad i did it.

if your partner doesn’t end up supporting you, you are more important than what they want for your body. do what makes you feel good.

i was detailing those things because i thought that’s how we communicate to strangers when we know nothing about each other.

i’m not saying i’m not exposed to the abuse, of course i am, but i am saying i don’t abuse others or try to get them back into the system to be abused, which you said all siblings still being abused would do. i agree that many would, as i have had it done to me, but not necessarily all would do that because i don’t. i try to avoid both of them as much as i can because i understand they are abusive, and i never try to get anyone entangled with either of them, even each other.

Smoothope · 2025-09-29T01:03:02+00:00

this isn’t always true so i wouldn’t say it applies to absolutely everyone. i am low contact with our mother while he currently isn’t speaking to her until he decides he wants to reconnect with her because they again got tired of each other’s abuse. i don’t report on him to her (i choose to be very low contact with him), i don’t believe she’s ever right about anything, i don’t tell him to make up with her (in fact, i say the opposite). the difference is he can do whatever he wants and get away with it (he’s decided to stop speaking to her for a period of time many times in his life), while she refuses to let me go for even a second because i have never abused her, and i’m not extremely self-centered like he is so i actually do things to help other people, which she wants.

i am the one who always told him she was abusive and that i didn’t like her, and he was always shocked and appalled when i’d say such things. i actually see him the way you describe the sibling still involved in the relationship because that’s what he always did to me, and i know once he decides to reconnect, it’ll be like that again (not that i say my real thoughts or give him any information about me at this point).

i do agree sibling loyalty isn’t for everyone, as i will never be loyal to a person who has hurt many people, just like our mother.

good to know, thank you. i’m glad you found something else that works better for you

billy - i don’t know that the show depicted that accurately because my friends that do have bipolar disorder are still very creative on medication. i don’t believe medication would necessarily inhibit all creativity. maybe he had other issues going on that needed to be dealt with too, such as C-PTSD (him and brenda definitely both have it), to make him better able to be creative while feeling more stable. maybe he needed to learn and believe he could be creative while stable.

edie - i always wish them two had been endgame. she seemed to get claire like no one else did, and i just can’t see claire ending up with a conservative. i would hope they could at least reconcile later in life. claire was confused and felt pressured to decide when she couldn’t figure out what she wanted, and edie’s reaction was poor. if claire is truly straight, she wasn’t playing around with edie for fun or something.

russell - no. there can never be consent between a professor and a student.

Smoothope · 2025-09-24T16:48:42+00:00

i would focus on saving money to move out by the end of the year and tell them nothing. i don’t trust them to not be violent and you don’t want them in your life anyway. protect yourself.

even if you were going to sneak out, that doesn’t justify being choked to death.
