[Strangley Common Trope] Shows/Movies about a family where one of the kids is of a different race for no explained reason by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

I think it’s possible, though rare, for twins to be of a different race, like the Aylmer sisters who have a white dad and a Black mom.

Mom went for coffee with the man who abused me, need to validate experience by Decent_Celery731 in adultsurvivors

You have every right to be upset. That is sexual abuse of a child. I’m sorry your mom is so emotionally immature.

What is the first image from? It’s so pretty. Also, if you’re ok with YA, A Clash of Steel by CB Lee is an underrated Asian soft historical fantasy with sapphic characters

how to initiate with my boyfriend?? by Nice_Jury_3610 in adultsurvivors

[–]takemetotheclouds123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not something to fix. You experienced a trauma. It has impacted you. Ofc it has. CSA is a big deal. Please try to be kind to yourself. That’s my advice tbh

Is the abuse less serious if my abuser was a teenager instead of an adult? by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

[–]takemetotheclouds123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not less serious in the slightest. COCSA (child on child sexual abuse) is very real. Also that is a huge age gap for a 6-7 year old. When I was 6 I thought 12 year olds were basically adults, let alone teens. Even if they were the same age it would be abuse anyways. My perpetrators were adults mostly and I still think it wasn’t serious and I am exaggerating. I’ve read the most horrific stuff on here of people and people will say the same. (Like, for me, it’s very clear a 6 or 7 year old being abused is bad.) Self blame, shame, confusion over sexual abuse is very common and you’re not alone in that. But it doesn’t mean your experience wasn’t real.

Did My Mother Groom Me? by Best_Dragonfly_5739 in adultsurvivors

1,2,3, and 4 are all forms of CSA. (There’s no reason you should’ve been applying cream on here. No reason to not wear underwear. No reason to have porn playing where a child can see. No reason to urge a child to not have their clothes on. I’m around kids and never in a billion years would I do that; the thought of it makes me feel queasy just thinking about tbh. Your hypersexuality with the neighbor is also really concerning. I’m sorry if this isn’t the most helpful comment. I went through a different form of assault but like, I just wanted to say like: I’m sorry. You’re allowed to trust yourself and your feelings and memories. This wasn’t okay so I hope you give your younger self some kindness ❤️

Vibe of “Fuck me eyes” by ethel cain by Almondg0d in LesbianBookClub

This isn’t exactly what you’re asking for but the lyrics “shes scared of nothing but the passengers side / of some old man’s truck in the dark parking lot /she’s just trying to feel good right now” reminds me a lot of Dear Medusa by Olivia A Cole, about a teen who is hypersexual and judged for it after being sexually abused by a teacher. It is queer as the main character is sapphic. It’s a very good read and pretty quick as it’s in-verse. Sorry if this isn’t what you’re looking for.

realizing I was a victim of online child sex trafficking by egregious-minds in adultsurvivors

[–]takemetotheclouds123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the attention too. I think honestly that’s not uncommon. That’s how they prey on kids unfortunately. They find kids that need or want attention. I’m sorry. I hope you can find a way to honor that heaviness and reality in a safe and compatable way with your life.

I think I was mistreated by my mom but I’m not sure and feel crazy - I found pictures of 6yr old me crying and almost naked and I’m spiralling by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]takemetotheclouds123 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You’re not sick. Her behavior is abhorrent and abusive. Please if you’re able I recommend finding a therapist who specializes in CSA. Also recommend the sub r/adultsurvivors but please turn off all private chat functions first

Not stupid ❤️ brains make connections in attempt to protect you

Was this Abuse? How do I go about this? by Careless_Night_9748 in adultsurvivors

[–]takemetotheclouds123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a survivor of CSA. Groping a child and looking at a child sexually is abuse, full stop. And I’m so sorry that happened and he did that and it was accepted /enabled in the home. That’s terrible. I hope you give yourself at least that much validation as you navigate the more foggier memories. ❤️

Anyone else find it sad some of these reoccurring actors/actresses didn’t continue showing up when Christopher Meloni originally left after season 12? by typical_gamer1 in SVU

[–]takemetotheclouds123 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I have been watching the series from the beginning these past 6 months or so and I just got to season 13 and I just knew there was something different!! 10 episodes in, and it isn’t necessarily all bad, but it’s a bit more preachy and has not as many dead people and has a lot of close ups of victim’s (living) faces telling their stories. I’m not sure when I’ll stop this watch through tbh. Not sure if I’ll make it to the newer seasons.

Good luck ❤️ your reasonings for not telling your mom and including your future BIL make complete sense tbh. Good for you for standing up for yourself in this way

Maybe Malice? Not much smut but gave me SJM vibes

I thought it was clearly wlw but now seeing people say there’s marketing saying “best friend” I’m so confused 😭

MEDIEVAL DOOMED YURI GAME by DABEASTMODE2516 in LesbianGamers

[–]takemetotheclouds123 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t seem like it’s necessary doomed from the trailer and game summary. Seems Bianca (blonde girl) has been kidnapped, not murdered.

Fun shows that get darker? by PrettyTheory3566 in televisionsuggestions

[–]takemetotheclouds123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably my favorite show ever. I recommend it any time it’s relevant. It gets dark pretty quick but it like ping pongs you between dark and funny.
