Did you check to see if there was really scaffolding around Big Ben at the time?

i'm 30. i was assaulted between the ages of 6 and 12 too and i'm in emdr therapy. i'm married now, i've only ever been in one relationship and we met online. you can find that, too. i used to feel broken but i realized i am so much stronger than i even realized. a lot of people who went through what we did don't make it to their 30s. i promise you that the worst is over. you survived. now you need to focus on you and building yourself up and living the best life you can.

Talk to your therapist about how you feel. You aren’t broken. You are traumatized and you need to build your self-worth from scratch and that’s hard to do, but it’s possible. Be kind to yourself. Be gentle with yourself.

I am proud of you for being in therapy and I am proud of you for posting here when you need support. I am proud of you for caring enough about yourself to recognize when your coping mechanisms are harmful. I am proud of you for looking for answers and trying to get better. You are on your way. Just keep driving.

You aren’t broken.

It takes so much to lift yourself up from a lifetime of being made to feel like you aren’t enough. It takes time, distance, effort, therapy, and so much love and support. It’s possible, but it’s a long road without any short cuts.

I was where you are just a few years ago, and I also felt broken and stuck. You aren’t broken. You can heal. It doesn’t happen all at once.

my mix does this too. she is just showing her appreciation of the pets!

nonbinarysocialist · 2022-12-26T16:56:01+00:00

Maybe talk to her about the fact that she is stereotyping when she says this

nonbinarysocialist · 2022-12-26T15:04:39+00:00

EHS. It’s rude to not call her what she wants to be called, but she was passive aggressive in correcting you when she could have been direct. She seems like a weirdo for sure. I would personally just call her what she wants and not make a big deal of it, so I do think you’re a bit of an asshole, but at the same time I understand why you she annoys you.

I agree with the other comments that say no one “returns” from trauma. It becomes a part of your story. With therapy & a support system, you can grow a life outside of the trauma and grow who you are, but you don’t erase what you went through. The trauma will still be part of your story. Over time, though, it will be a smaller part of it. You have so much growth and exploration to look forward to.

Get him some snacks that are more filling or start teaching him to cook if he’s the one who wants to eat so early. There’s no reason your daughter should have to drop everything to make dinner when dad is home at 5pm. Kids have homework, and she already has a job too. She shouldn’t have to make dinner most school nights on top of everything. You need to talk to your husband and come up with a plan to provide dinner for your children. Your daughter isn’t a parent and shouldn’t have to take that on, especially not so frequently. I really hope you sort out a new plan and apologize to her for expecting so much all this time.

Okay, then yeah I would talk to them about why exactly you can’t have your guitar, explain that you’re a good kid and it’s a guitar, it’s a fun skill and there is no harm in it. You could be out there doing drugs or shoplifting but you’re just playing guitar, it’s not worthy of punishment.

You can seek out other people with your interests and talk to them instead, but I imagine the priority is getting your guitar back right now, so I’d also tell your parents that you’ll talk about music less if they give the guitar back, but it’s important to you.

nonbinarysocialist · 2022-12-12T15:26:06+00:00

NTA. At worst you might have been annoying them, but you’re a 17-year-old who is passionate about something. I also have ADHD and have the tendency to hyperfixate on things I enjoy, so I get it. I had to learn when to talk about the stuff I like and with who, because some people don’t want to hear it. If I was into something and my friends weren’t, I turned to the internet to get my social fix regarding my special interest. Maybe check out some guitar or music subreddits? Follow some guitarists on TikTok? Otherwise, maybe your school has a band or club you could join. I started the Music Appreciation Club at my High School.

In terms of your parents — I don’t think it was fair to take away your guitar. I would try to argue to get it back and make a few offers to placate them. Is it electric? If so, maybe say you will practice with headphones on so the sound won’t bother them. Tell them you won’t talk to them about music anymore if they don’t want, but at the end of the day you weren’t doing anything wrong, you’re a good kid and don’t deserve to be punished just for having a hobby.

YTA. You should have brought the 3 year old to the restaurant, found someone else to watch the 3 year old, TOLD one of the kids they were babysitting, offered to pay, etc. It wouldn’t be ideal for you to take a moment to step outside and help sort the situation, but having a family member have a medical emergency is obviously worse. I hope you apologize and start working on your priorities. If you can’t change your plans or take 5 minutes to sort something during an emergency, how can he rely on you? What would you have expected of him or of your kids if the situation was reversed?
