Our abusers.
Added 2017-04-30 22:58:46 +0000 UTCWhile playing Night in the Woods yesterday on stream, the subject of familial abuse arose.
I was immediately uncomfortable. This is the year that I'm coming to realize and try process my own abuse. I'm receiving therapy, I'm on medication. I feel incredibly lucky to have my platonic partner, Sarah, and my romantic partner support me every day. A good doctor, a good therapist. I have support from the coven I'm creating online.
Everyone has their abusers, it comes in many shapes, and from different places. I'm working on escaping mine. When it's something so insipid as familial abuse, it's so deeply routed in you that it may be impossible to escape. For me, I feel safe and am working as hard as I can to physically get away, mentally is another whole mess entirely.
I'm incredibly lucky, and while it's a constant battle, I feel like I'm becoming stronger.
I hope I'm able to help support my coven, as you have helped me become more independent. While I'm not the best with words, I hope everyone here understands how grateful I am. The community around me on Twitch has helped me in countless ways and I want you to know how strong an impact you've had on me.
