idk who else tovtell this to but ive kept it bottled up and never told it tovanyone even after years of therapy. tw csa -- i only remembered my abuse like 8 yrs ago in my late teens and ive grappled w what exactly it all was. i have no one to confirm anything that happened outside my own memories. ive just called it a p*do ring since the memories surfaced but there was always some underlying ritual vibes and it specifically alligned w a folk religion in my rural area and i think it could have had cult tendencies but i really dont know. i have no way of knowing besides what i remember and thats not a whole hell of a lot. i dont think my memories will ever truly be validated or proven. i feel like the whole situation was already so unbelievable if i said it was a cult too everyone who believed me before would give up entirely on me ao i just keep that aspect to myself but i want to share with someone so im sharing it w u. idk if it would be ok to tell u any specifics it scares me a lot but i want to. i dont want to upset u tho... u seem like a rlly good person sorry for this long message
Implausible trauma kids unite! 🤝
Having fractured memories is not fun at all. I’m glad you have therapy! I wish you all the things you need to heal and to grow. If you’re looking for any kind of professional advice or support, I’m not the person for that (I have no professional training.)
But I CAN say that no one should ever have abused you, and you deserve to find peace.
You’re not alone. 💚🫂
the horrible combo of religious + ritual abuse and csa.. like i still believe that im a horrible person and going to hell (and going to hell on a technicality, w/ the whole 'sex before marriage is a sin' and, well, enduring csa). i feel extra horrible when the only thing that brings me comfort is religious stuff (ie praying rosaries for hours on end, begging for forgiveness, etc). sorry if this is um. too much. but i needed to vent. love your blog <3
Ach, that sounds difficult, the need to vent is certainly understandable. It’s not too much, you’re okay! You deserve the things you need to heal. I wish you all the best, and I hope you find a good place in your mind that brings you comfort, without the accompanying bad feelings, soon <3
Miscarriage Of Justice: Two adult Amish brothers who repeatedly raped and impregnated their 13-year-old sister will serve no jail time for their crime, instead they will write letters of apology to the Amish community.
The victim, who is only 13 years old, recently had a baby. The father is one of her brothers.
Filed under: for fuck’s sake.
The fact that this even made it to the news astounds me.
People suffer from the soft bigotry of low expectations in the name of cultural sensitivity and religious freedom. The vulnerable ones suffer.
