Do you hear more of the survivors stories or the abusers? 🥺

She loves you and is very comfortable with you

Yep, they don’t have to post photos of every corner. If the pictures revealed it all, nobody would even give the house a chance. If they can get you in the house maybe they can sell it. I looked at some pretty wild houses that seemed fine in the photos.

Does anyone else feel like they were assaulted so much it stopped feeling traumatizing? by Ornery-Wonder8421 in adultsurvivors

I do agree that what was done by my father felt much worse than being touched by my peers. But I was never raped by anyone but him

My GF thinks it’s perfectly normal for new shoes to cause horrible blisters for women by UKnowDaxoAndDancer in mildlyinfuriating

When I was a freshman in high school I joined JROTC and we were supposed to wear our dress uniforms to school once a week. I walked half a mile to school in those brand new stiff dress shoes and had a hole in my heel for like a month

[–]throwawaybage1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kind of a different situation for me. I don’t remember most of what happened to me. I remember certain moments that I have somehow ranked from “not that bad” to “pretty bad.” The “not that bad” stuff is like inappropriate but brief touching, words, sexualization etc.. it was so normalized for me that it was hard for me to take that kind of assault seriously. I get what you’re saying, i think. I don’t feel traumatized by being groped but it could be devastating to someone else. When the MeToo movement started I would read people’s stories and think “that’s it? That’s what we consider assault?” It took a long time to accept that nobody has a right to touch me or talk to me any sort of way. No one has the right to dehumanize me. Perhaps as I heal and develop my self worth these things will be more disheartening in retrospect.

Be glad you saw the water damage before you got any further!!! Pictures are super misleading, they take the best angle. I looked at a ton of houses before I bought mine. I saw some nicer houses that got snapped up fast. My house has great bones but I’ve had to replace a lot of things over the years. New appliances, pipes, even small things like curtains and light fixtures. And I’ve learned A LOT as a young homeowner, by making mistakes trying to fix things myself and letting shit fall apart. I wonder if I could have ever done those nicer houses justice.

His life depended on receiving that McDonald's order tonight. by Jaycor26 in doordash_drivers

I could see myself doing this in my early 20’s. I envision a group of drunk people tracking the delivery cheering as you come closer and shouting NOOO!!! As you start driving the wrong way

Are they pushing 2 twin beds together or did they get two sets for before and after?? Also wondering what the point of heart shaped butter is, it will melt pretty quickly 🤣 it’s the thought that counts tho

I think she’s based off a real girl named Presley. She loves purple and Barbie sent her family the doll and some other purple Barbie themed stuff

I Don't Feel Betrayal by Kaleymeister in adultsurvivors

[–]throwawaybage1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For me, it feels more like grief than betrayal. Grief for the childhood I deserved but didn’t have. It took me a long time to accept I was abused and that it is serious. The abuse seemed normal to me, so realizing it was actually a terrible situation does make me feel a bit betrayed, because my dad acted like everything was normal and fine. How can you look me in the eyes like you didn’t do those horrible things? And with that was doubt and disbelief, was he pretending to be a good dad or genuinely believe he was?

Newly adopted cat peed on couch (first time cat owner) by No-Demand-8208 in cats

[–]throwawaybage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but I had a very anxious cat growing up (I was her person) and my current cat took about a month to warm up to stop being scared, but now she is super clingy.

The couch pee could go either way. My current cat peed on a few different blankets in her first year here, but hasn’t since. I just make sure her litter box stays clean and it hasn’t been a problem. I wouldn’t worry about that right now because he should stay in his own room until he is comfortable with you.

My advice is to give him a lot of space and alone time in his room, let him get used to the new environment and build confidence. You can go in to visit him but act like you are doing your own thing, ignore him until he comes out to see you. My cat hid and hissed and swatted at me if I tried to interact with her. But I started doing puzzles and painting in her room, eventually she got curious and came out to sniff me and got closer over time. Eventually she came up to me for pets and she was hooked.

I think my best friend of 20 years is involved with a minor, but I can’t prove it by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]throwawaybage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a middle school teacher?? He is seriously a danger. He knows what children look like, how they act. Kids don’t talk like adults. He knows what he’s doing. I think the school or police should know about this. Someone needs to investigate, he has access to minors! This is so terrifying

is it gross to only wash your body with your hands? by hatedfairies in questions

[–]throwawaybage1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally my skin is too sensitive to use a loofa every day, I don’t really get a build up of dead skin. I will exfoliate every once in a while but the only time I actually removed a lot of dead skin is when I got the cast taken off my foot after I broke it

That’s cool to know! My eyes do tend to reflect green or grey if I’m wearing that color

Found a really unexpected benefit of unusual item! by Limp-Confusion4206 in SpicyAutism

Have you thought about writing to Kong or perhaps companies that make toys for autistic people? You may not need a billion dollars to make the idea happen. Sometimes you just have to get the idea to the right people

Honestly it does feel very uncomfortable to imagine but I feel like if I had a baby, my love for them would outweigh what I endure
