Growing up in an abusive household is a fucking trip dudeโฆโฆIf youโve never had someone angrily wash a dish at you or fold a sock in your direction then how are you gonna understand why I get nervous when you quietly do the laundry, or why I ask โare you mad at me?โ when you set the bag of groceries down too hard? Itโs a totally different way of living and it impacts you long after youโve left the situation.
This is so important.
Abused kids speak a language you canโt learn
My heart races when I hear someone sigh and then the adrenaline takes forever to wear off. I hate having these reactions even when I know I am safe.
