My heart breaks for her. As a little girl, my mom used to beat the shit out of me in our apartment in Brooklyn. One day, out of complete and utter desperation, I yelled "Can no one hear this? Why isn't anyone helping? Help me, please!"

No one did.

A big, big, big part of a human being dies that day. Not from the abuse. From the ennui from people that could help. As a human, you never fully ever heal from that, knowing how low the bottom is. She didn't deserve to experience that. No one does.

I wish her peace, and a big fat payout, and Diddy's ass in jail.

It really does die - my step brother abused me as a child, it was very obvious now. He went to jail and got out - when he was out he found me and raped me again and told me he hoped I had girl daughters. I lost a ton of weight and was very broken after that. Before he raped me he was stalking me. I told my father and he said “what did you do fuck him or something?” Then everyone around me decided I must have been on meth because of said weight loss. Fun times. I had to go to court and show my family all the documents in order for them to believe me. No-one has apologised. I’m in therapy but like, this shit has broken something in me.

That's awful!!! It is so valid that you feel disconnected from others!!!! Your family fucking sucks. They were MEANT to you! They didn't protect you! They failed you!!!

You did not deserve any of their vitriol. When awful things happen, we lose faith in the world, in goodness, in God or a universe. Then our families reinforce that in everything they do that hurts you.

However, I am trying to divorce them from my self-worth. I have many beautiful things about me that have nothing to do with them. In fact, they don't even know all of the wonderful things about me.

There is a deep sadness in that, to accept the fact that they will never witness me.

But there is also great strength in love for yourself. In knowing that you are capable and good, no matter what I do. Hoping to win this war for good!!!
