shout out to the kids that are compulsive liars because that was the only way to stay safe at home

shout out to the kids that have trouble expressing themselves because they were punished every time they were upset

shout out to the kids that question everyone’s intentions with them because they associate everything with their past abuse

shout out to the kids that can’t get rid of all the Unhealthy and Bad™ coping mechanisms they picked up at home

shout out to the kids that still feel love and affection for their abuser(s)

shout out to the kids that will never be well-adjusted and are okay with that

shout out to those of us that don’t fit the Good Abuse Survivor model; our experiences are real and no one has the right to tell us how to react to abuse. i love you all a lot and know that you are never alone 💜

Massively this. And as a final note:

As a loving and loved adult, you can be all of the above and still wind up whole, and good. Just as you are. All of these things, and more.

All of this..
