Here's why that thing keeps happening! is a godsend#geez i wish i had anything close to that as a kid#i had to learn about betrayal trauma at THIS JOB#im fucking 28 and it took that long for me to know that i had been traumatized and continue to be traumatized by my family#this is really important info that kids and teens and adults NEED to have#so thank goodness for steven universe#doing what needs to be done#su#su spoilers#suf#steven universe future
