How do you deal with the cruelty of everyone around the trauma
How do you all deal with the societal injustice surrounding the initial injustice? Everyone knowing about the traumatic events and your abuser and not caring. Dismissing you. Defending your abuser. Telling you you’re a ‘horrible person’ for wanting justice and for your abuser to face consequences. Handing over their intense shame and discomfort onto you like a hot potato and making it all your problem and your fault, just because they feel entitled to it, and because they don’t want to put in the effort and see a clear way out of responsibility and being honest about their true wants(to not be uncomfortable and face something that feels overwhelming).
How do I ever feel safe again? How do I ever feel like life is worth living again? If everyone will truly hang up and shut down on me any time I’m a victim, or not ‘normal’ enough for their comfort, and turn me into a problem and use that as justification to dehumanise me and subject me to neglect and abandonment and mockery and bullying and scorn.
With nobody being willing to meet you halfway, assuming that just because their stance is popular, must mean it’s correct.
Everyone wants me to let go of it and looks down on me for not, but I think it’s more because they don’t want to be bothered by facing the reality of the injustice, or the fact that they will feel the responsibility to help by doing more than they feel entitled not to do.
And why should I let it go? Why is my want to stand up for myself through wanting to demand justice being pathologised? Even multiple therapists have done this. I’m so fucking done with this world
