I rather die than to relate to this when I have kids.

I saw this a little while ago on ig and i wear to god i’ve never related harder to a thing. Most of my time in therapy is spent figuring out how to move past the desire and dread i feel of confronting my family about the ways in which they’ve hurt me. the combined issue being that I sincerely doubt their ability to openly hear and not get defensive/aggressive back at me when i try to communicate my experiences (resulting in gaslighting me and/or making me feel hurt all over again).

family: *says something incredibly racist*

me: thats racist

family: wow that is really offensive calm down and stop attacking people please your radical liberal beliefs are tearing this family apart

Family: *says something racist* Family: *says something sexist* Family: *says something homophobic* Family: *makes fun of people with tattoos* Family: *tells you why you’re bad at life* Family: why don’t you wanna spend time with us?

emotional abuse is when someone does something to hurt you, and when you express your feelings, that you’re upset, they turn it around to be something you did to hurt them and they force you to apologize for it, and your feelings, like always, are rendered invalid and silenced, forever damaging the ability to trust others with your feelings because they always are used against you.

this is important because so many people don’t know this

Me, with my parents, pretty much the whole time i've been here. 

These were all very entertaining :P

I love how he calls his wife “permanent roommate”

I kind of hope that this is what my partner ends up being like.
