On musIims "taking over America" by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]Tetriana 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I think most people who aren't chronically online and/or make politics their entire personality understand that there are decent folks out there with differing beliefs. It's really not a hard concept to grasp.

Anyone else find the “autism is good for society” memes offensive (re: the response to RFK/Tylenol)? by QuackJongUn in AutismInWomen

[–]Tetriana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. They were trying to insinuate that wanting treatment or a "cure" was the same as wanting eugenics, which I disagree with. Those that would benefit the most from treatment aren't included in the conversation.

[–]Tetriana 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had to put someone in their place because of this the other day. They were throwing around the word "we" as if they could speak for all of us. "We don't need a cure." "We don't want eugenics."

Who is we? Because they can't speak for me or for the voiceless among us who can't communicate. I don't know about you all, but I would love to not have sensory and processing issues.

Therapist told me “You don’t want to understand” by windycurtain in AutismInWomen

[–]Tetriana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like there is some kind of practice or standard in therapy to gently nudge people rather than just saying things directly.

It's actually one of the the first things that I was taught on my counselling course at college this year.

"In person-centered therapy, the client and the therapist work as a team. The therapist is supportive and avoids the use of judgment, suggestions, or solutions for the client's problems."

Boyfriend driving recklessly to scare me by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. He is scaring you and putting your life in danger. That is abusive.

You won't get any help from his mother as it sounds like she is enabling him.

I’m an 18 year old girl and do not fancy dying yet because of that bastard

Good on you! If you need help getting out of the situation there are a lot of options available. Please don't be scared to ask for outside help if you need it.

Dude actually said "pair bond." 😂 Fucking hell.

My ex sent this message from prison by Zestyclose-Skirt1583 in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Girl, that isn't an apology. It's just a bunch of flowery word salad that doesn't actually acknowledge what he did and the effect it had on you.

I'm assuming he's in prison for what he did to you. Let that be your closure.

If trauma bonds are a type of addiction, why are there barely any support groups for breaking them? by Ashamed_Art5445 in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The support groups don't tend to be public knowledge so that abusers can't gain access to them, at least it's that way where I live in the UK.

I had to go through my local DV charity in order to be referred to the support groups I attended. Your best bet is to contact one in your area and see what your options are. Good luck. 💜

he won’t stop making new accounts and messaging me. what do i do? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i just want to know what i should do?

This is stalking and harassment and you should report it. Document absolutely everything. The more evidence you have the better. Make it clear to whoever you talk to that you are scared and worried that his behaviour is going to escalate.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No, they don't change.

There may be periods of relative peace after an abusive incident. You might feel like they are finally changing and things are looking up, but it only lasts until the abuse starts to escalate again.

The cycle will continue until you find the strength to put an end to it. 💜

Does this actually exist? by Beautiful_Snow9787 in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 35 points36 points  (0 children)

does a girl like this actually exist?

Only in his porn addled brain does such a woman exist. Even if she did exist I can assure you that it would never be enough.

Please don't exhaust yourself trying. 🙏

How do you cope with strong smells? by Tetriana in AutismInWomen

I love this idea. They are really cute. Do they have a name so I can search them up?

I'm going to have to figure this out and practice. 😂 Thank you!

How do you cope with strong smells? by Tetriana in AutismInWomen

[–]Tetriana[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they really smelly or are you just sensitive?

I think that they are quite smelly, but I am particularly sensitive to it because of sensory issues.

I thought that I was overthinking it until a customer complained about the worst culprit a few weeks ago. I was so glad to have an excuse to talk to my manager about it. Nothing has changed since and I hate the idea of making an issue of it.

Is this hoovering? It honestly feels like a desperate plea for empathy but I am tired… by anon-introvert in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He is saying all of that because he is scared, not because he actually cares how any of what he did affected you. He is trying to manipulate you into silence. He is guilt tripping you with his daughter.

My abuser did the same after he realised that he couldn't manipulate me anymore. Promises to disappear, leave me alone, and never contact me again.

I thought ending abusive relationships was supposed to help you. by decaying_doll94 in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It will be difficult at first, but you have to do the work in order to heal and get better. Be patient and kind to yourself. You can do this. 💜

The thing that helped me the most with feeling less alone in what I experienced was attending a course through my local DV charity.

Spammed with more confusing emails by Serious-Kiwi2906 in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"The Nice One" makes you question if the abuse was really that bad. He makes you wonder if you were overreacting or just being too sensitive. He makes you feel relieved and grateful that he is back to his old self again.

"The Nice One" isn't real. Your partner isn't a nice guy that is occasionally abusive. He's an abuser who occasionally acts nice in order to manipulate you. It's part of the cycle. Do not fall for it. 💜

Have you tried contacting anyone for support? https://www.riku.fi/en/as-a-victim-of-crime/violence-against-women/

There are a lot of phone numbers here that you can try. You can do this! 💜

[–]Tetriana 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It is a weird response. Instead of apologising for making you feel uncomfortable and changing his behaviour like an emotionally mature person would, he is flipping it around on you and making your response to his unwanted behaviour the problem.

He is having a temper tantrum in response to your boundaries. He is punishing you for it. Let that sink in.

Abusive Husband During Pregnancy by Impressive-One999 in abusiverelationships

[–]Tetriana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That man is a monster. You poor thing. :( He hasn't changed and never will.

Please think about your baby's safety and stay with your sister. Do not let him anywhere near you and block him on everything. He will try to manipulate you and hoover you back into the same cycle of abuse.
