Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

My mom did this to me when I told her I was having suicidal ideation. "I knew it, I knew you use this against me." I don't she was taught to do that for my benefit tho...
holy shit fam, take care please
First of all, I appreciate that. Empathy is power. Secondly, I made it out. I'm thriving in ways I never would have imagined even a few months ago, let alone the years it's been since that situation.
To anyone who finds themselves in the dark, hold on.
That is a beautiful comic, thank you for sharing. Congratulations on making it through.
i feel bit angy that you foo|ed me
but on the other side feel better from the fact that there's a happy person standing, where moments ago i imagined an unhappy one
What's the reason for the trickery, may i wonder?
This person made it out of the bad situation. They did not make up the situation.
I need to go to fucking sleep, damn, this is beyond stupid of me
Honestly, I misunderstood too for a couple of seconds. :)
it was a sleepless nigh for me, and i left lots of comments over here during it. I wonder, how many of them are actually just as stupid
~~drive~~ comment responsibly, kids, don't repeat my mistakes
The example in the meme is a technique called redirection, and does not neglect aftercare. It just deescalates the situation to a safer level. Your example is more like emotional abuse, neglect, and more. I’m so sorry that happened to you, I hope you’ve been seen and heard and have a safe place now.
Yeah, aftercare was certainly not part of the picture for this particular situation. The good news is that I made it out in one piece. I'm living the good life these days, and all the more grateful for it.
I'm sorry you had to deal with type b personality disorder psychopathy from your mother.
Yeah, kind of a trip realizing maybe that wasn't the best environment for me. But, hey, at least I made it out. ✌️
