$20 per month, you sweet summer child lol
Heavy Trigger Warning - CSA/SA
I am not a doctor, tho it appears to be some kind of psychosis. She often yells to back off and fuck off and worse, but no one is there. She yells about being raped and assaulted, as a child and adult, both events I have experienced as a child and for 8 years with my ex-partner. It's confronting, triggering, my heart races; I cannot imagine the level of pain she has experiences and the lack of support she has had so far to deal with it. It saddens me deeply, as that could very well be me down there, I just want to fix it for her and take her pain away, but I can't even do that for myself. I have the start of a migraine coming, and I want to throw up.I'll call the non-emergency line in the morning; right now I'm just going to keep crying and listening to music. I'll be fine.
Oh I’m so sorry, it’s so sad to hear that you’ve had to go through that horrible experience.
My partner was also subjected to it by her ex and occasionally also gets triggered by certain things even after all the work she had to do to get to where she is now.
Unfortunately I’m not sure there’s much we can do for the poor soul. Even I feel helpless that I was not able to help my partner when she was in need of support at the time thought I had met her long after those events.
You do what you need to do to do but if you need some help or something to distract you or to talk to, you know where to find it.
Is your partner around to give you some support?
Also 20 dollars extra a month is insane.
