~~Posting/talking about it this way so many years later is not a constructive use of your time though. Be positive instead, lest you relapse.~~
EDIT: I stand corrected; gratitude. I worded it wrong, my point is that there are better ways. Should not have diminished.
Absolutely not. Acknowledging that it was fucking awful is the only place from which actual progress can be made. Posting about it is a perfectly valid way to do that and provides an entry point into that conversation, provided people don't shut it down with toxic positivity.
Source: raised by gaslighting narcissists.
Merci, see edit.
I hope I didn't come off as hostile, I just feel the need to go to bat for people dealing with trauma sometimes. Thanks for understanding and take care.
Thank you. All is well, only a matter of syntax. Aligned, our thoughts are.
You guys both seem really cool
I will simply neglect the absence of what I have lost for fear that I will lose more if I acknowledge it.
