i know. my therapist used to tell me that. ten years later i've moved back and she's a very different person because in the last ten years the world has changed and she's moved forward. she's no longer obsessed with me forgiving my rapists "for me" and we have a more equal relationship in some ways.

but i was watching a movie for dinner to be heavy shitted, and that bummed me out

scientology brain i die plz

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhh imma die now

Like, how can you not exclaim angrily just at the headline because of the inherent, implicit racism? And seethe that America is not the community of differences it tried to be in 1776? And try to navigate a personal path toward a united front changing things for people who are clearly being hurt for other people's…

it looks like, over ivory and peach makeup, their faces were buffed with petroleum jelly to make them look natural and strung out.

it wasn't measured. it was irresponsible.

that's really cool. i may have a hard time adjusting because i really miss but fear my ex from last year, who tried to kill me several times and habitually beat, raped, threatened, and intimidated me...every single time, he was high. he hurt his infant son twice while high. i worry about his drug use and that he will…

well, actually, i think you should practice accepting it. it's legit. i just think that addicts should form their own group.

fascinating.

that's the clearest anyone could have put it. thank you. so many disabled children are sexually and physically abused BECAUSE they're viewed as incapable of telling or being believed. some of those abused disabled children do then grow up to become addicts, but that's a coping method, not an additional disability.

thank you. i'm really, really, really upset about this. there are so many struggles and all are legitimate, but people with disabilities have really been fighting all sorts of stigma. it doesn't help or clarify this group's fight to add addicts to the category.

i would prefer for it to get its own category. i do not fucking care that you personally did not incest anyone. i know a lot of addicts who have beaten and raped, and i don't see that as an illness. i see that as willful behavior. i'm so glad my dad hanged himself a month after the last time he tried to incest me. he…

mental illness is a disability. i know mental illness and addiction are almost always paired together and that addiction can be physical...but i do not approve of these people horning in on a serious, long, harrowing fight people with disabilities have been having for eons. they can come up with their own label and…

not the same thing as a disability. fuck that shit.

i really do not accept alcoholism being the same as deaf-blind, or an amputee. it's incredibly offensive; my father was an incestuous alcoholic who beat me until i was 5, and my brothers may be turning into irresponsible drinkers...and my ex tried to kill me three times last year, beating me twice a day at least for a…

this is really shocking, your attitude. i am beyond offended and devastated as a disabled person who faces ableism every single day. i'm just blown away by your terse cruelty here as well as your inability to look up "ableism" or admit that you just had a really big brain fart and couldn't remember the word "enabler."…

enabler. ableist. two different words. you're too fucking stupid to look them up before criticizing!? ableists are people who discount and discriminate against disabled people. idiot. don't be such a condescending asshole, you ableist. i've got lots of experience with ableist. READ A FUCKING DICTIONARY, and also ask…

really? this is universal? you can't speak for us all. every boyfriend i've ever had has raped and abused me upon feeling intimidated by my intelligence...except the ones who raped me in order to get the sex going.

nearly every breakup has been due to rape or the accompanying beatings. i'll never think it's sadder to break up with my last boyfriend because it just wouldn't work based on a few facts of life. never. i'll always feel heartbroken that at 16 i had golf balls pelted at me in class by my first boyfriend and wasn't once…
