Sometimes you can’t acknowledge you’re being abused and traumatized while you’re living it. It feels too unreal, too dangerous and too self-indulged to even think about it. You’re used to having your every feeling being dismissed, ridiculed, minimized, and just portrayed as a attention-seeking, something you’re too sensitive about and should hide unless you want to be humiliated about it. How would your pain suddenly matter and be a big deal if you’ve been even telling yourself it’s nothing all your life? How could it be trauma if you were able to just push it all down and still function for some time? It’s all too harsh, acknowledging that you actually had no choice but to push it down because openly experiencing pain wasn’t even allowed for you, because you weren’t safe.

Some of these things you’re only ready to know after you’re away, safe, after you don’t have to be aware of everything, and still pretend it’s not happening. Being aware of abuse, and having to live in it, is an intolerable hell.

how insidious to make young girls buy hundreds of dollars worth of makeup, to force them to read up on its theory, to make them practice it for hours in order to escape mockery, to make them feel safe only when performing this hyper femininity, and then to even have the audacity to package it in feminist language so that they firmly believe it sets them free.

if i was a good child they wouldn’t have been beating me

if i didn’t deserve this it wouldn’t be happening to me

if i was stronger this wouldn’t hurt 

if I wasn’t a coward I wouldn’t be afraid

if they’re hurting me it’s to make me better

if I controlled myself properly I would get over this

if I was worth anything I would stop being a nuisance to everyone

if anyone found me important my feelings would matter

if it was possible to love me someone would have loved me by now.

these are the thoughts of abuse survivors.

if you felt this, you’ve been abused.

good parents don’t raise children with flashbacks

good parents don’t raise children with extreme fear of touch

good parents don’t raise children who can’t say no

(continue the chain! reblog with “good parents don’t raise children” and write your own symptoms!)

“free Palestine” and “don’t use what’s happening to Palestinians as an excuse to spread anti-Semitism” can and should co-exist

[quilowrites]

Please do your research! There is so much misinformation out there and a lot of lies.

Everyone should know the truth so please try to know as much as you can so you can spread awareness and help!

Free Palestine🇵🇸✌️
