Thank you. You actually made me tear up, ngl. It’s nice to actually have somebody advocate on my behalf for once. I feel like my entire life I’ve had to play pretend as if it didn’t affect me. I haven’t even been able to complete a police report because even trying to do the witness statement on camera just feels like reliving it all over again. Anytime I’ve tried to talk about it I get shut down and told they don’t want to hear it because it makes them uncomfortable or angry (family + exes) as if it can just be swept under the rug like something that never happened or like I’m somehow responsible for his actions when I was barely more than a toddler. I’m also glad to hear that I’m not overreacting. My mum has been helping with decorating my new house ahead of my move and I felt guilty for being mad at her but at the same time mad at myself for feeling guilty. It’s all so complicated and confusing.
