I really don’t think a lot of people understand what it’s like to genuinely be damaged by a parent, especially not as a child. Aggravated, sure, hurt even, but I think damaged is the word I’m looking for and what a lot of you don’t understand.

So many of you talk to people who are estranged/have cut contact with/have really complicated relationships with their parents/guardians and you’re so fucking insensitive because you can’t even fathom the idea of being damaged by your parent or what dealing with the aftermath of that is like. 

And it’s not just the way people talk to others, its in shows and books too! People with tough family relationships are jokes and people damaged by their parents are pushed to “heal” or “forgive and forget” for the comfort of the parent who hurt them with barely a care at all for the victim and it’s just exhausting. Do you know what dealing with this is like? Do you know how hard this is? Do you even care?

It’s all “we support systems!” And “we trust systems!” Until a persecutor does something that the system as a whole has apologized for and made amends for or a protector sets a hard boundary that someone doesn’t like.

It’s always “we love systems!” Until a system steps out of someone’s idea of how systems should act.

sometimes i just want to wrap my garrote around the neck (of the bottle im making) and pull it super tight until the head gets chopped clean off (the top of the bottle) and watch as the rest of it slowly collapses (strictly for pottery of course)
