I know for a fact that there is generational trauma behind many or even most instances of sexual assault or physical/emotional abuse and I know sexual assault and abuse is underreported and so the problem is likely bigger than we know but the cycle has to start somewhere.
This was said about bullies too. How could every single bully, abuser, rapist, murderer ALL have this kind of trauma? I am feeling very raw right now. This hasn't come up in so long. #sexualassault
Journal Prompt for the Day:
If you could have any mythical creature what would it be?
Once upon a time my mother was changing my diaper and she reached for the baby wipes. They used to have a kinda star shaped hole that they came out of and they’d fallen in so she stuck her finger in and couldn’t get it out. Her finger started changing colors because the tub was heavy so she started panicking and wound up calling 911.
The fire dept showed up. They unscrewed the heavy tub part so just the lid was left on her finger and cut the lid off of her using her own scissors. 🤦♀️
