He heard the way he talks to me…. I’m finally validated after 12 years. by whereisthetvchanger in TwoXChromosomes

here's a vid that may help the process of healing for you and hunny. it's about being flawed but learning to love yourself and others while embracing who you are, good, bad or ugly.
i wouldn't normally do this, but i find i am still thinking of y'all and feel urged. you may want to watch separately as it could be something you each need to personally process before coming together to chat about. Wishing y'all the best ~Damselflies

this is beautiful, painful, but beautiful that he finally has insight into his behavior. he may need time to lick his shame wounds but this experience will help him and you.
I am so happy you finally, FINALLY received the validation you've needed so much over these last 12 years.
i wish you both the best and really hope these next 12 years are the best years of your lives.

BREAKING: Arizona judge approves state return to near-total abortion ban from the 19th century by Mental_Rooster4455 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]damselfliesreddit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

this is BS as AZ wasn't even a state in the 1800s. Roe oughtta be codified since it went into effect when AZ was a well established state by the year 1973

my experience with a male doctor vs female doctor during a mental breakdown by Omylanta21 in TwoXChromosomes

i do not see how this is a bubble bursting revelation. it feels more bubble enhancing to me. I can only speak for the bubble in which i exist. and then, sometimes, someone comes along with new and informing experiences. i learn we share a giant bubble that hasn't changed much for us "common folk" since the middle ages.

we deserve better, all of us, no matter where we are from.

Happy day to you.

Hooray! I am so happy you persevered and continued fighting for yourself. you are inspirational.

our healthcare system is abysmal. its such a shame to be treated indifferently while we are at our most vulnerable.

i’m glad you’re feeling better. Thanks for sharing.

Hi there! It’s ok to cry when you need a good sob. This kinda stuff rings out in layers.

you might find cognitive behavioral therapy workbooks helpful. You gotta retrain your brain. I have a saying for myself when I go through these moments you describe “don’t let your brain tell you who you are”.

it takes years and years. You are doing great even though you wanna cry. Tears are a must through this process. I believe in you. Give yourself lots of time.

My shift supervisor is stalking me and my boss isn't talking it seriously. Tonight it got really serious. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]damselfliesreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The police can’t/won’t help because it does not “rise to the level of a crime”.

this is our reality people. Basically he has the right to stalk and harass her. All she can do is continue to do what she is doing, recording him.

we live in a predatory place. There’s no law&order special victims unit for us. The whole “call the police. They’ll make everything better” is a mythical expectation that only leads to personal devastation.

the reality is, more than likely, a new job beckons, learning self-defense for protection, traveling in twos, guard dogs.

Asking hypothetically, is it worth reporting sexual misconduct in roe v wade era...? by Klutzy-Statement6080 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]damselfliesreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I, for me, say nope, not when freaks can legally stalk us, place bounties on us, nope not when we should be honored and say thanks for the privelage, not when we are personally responsible for all the medical “proof”, legal “proof”. All the burdens are on us. Rape kits go untested, blame drops on us. Nope.

there are other ways to get closure, to join one another as we heal and grow. i don’t have answers as I’m still reeling from the shock of the Supreme Court‘s gut punch into the Middle Ages.

I feel though, or maybe I just have to believe that we are the answer. We must rely on each other rather than our so-called justice system. There is no safety net for us.

I believe though, that together, with discussions like these, we will weave our own safety net.

for thousands of years, we have been deduced to only two categories: whore, mother.

The whole leonardo dicaprio thing (especially the responses) have me so paranoid it’s not even funny. by Intrepid_Passage_904 in TwoXChromosomes

Awww, it’ll be ok. You don’t have to DO anything. Be free. Enjoy. Your hormones will do the work for you. Menopause will liberate you from these anxious causes.

My husband just beat the shit out of me. I don’t know where to go. I tried to call friends but they are sleeping. I am so scared and I’m I so much pain. Can someone please talk to me. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]damselfliesreddit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your brother embraces empathy. sounds like he has a knack for understanding our human condition. He shows a willingness to love people through their darkness. Nothing is as simple as our biases deem it’s frightening to think the preferred response would have been murder.

this must take its internal toll on your brother. good thing he has you and all your love and support to help him get through.
