I hate how abusive parents love to imply that you know nothing about the 'real world', as if they're sheltering you and protecting you from the big evil out there, so you're 'naive and innocent' and don't know how bad it is outside, but what they're really 'sheltering' you from are survival skills and vital knowledge of how to function in the world! They sure are not sheltering you from evil! They're not sheltering you from abuse! They're not sheltering you from cruelty and violence and apathy in the face of suffering! They're not sheltering you from how it feels to be unprotected and isolated in an environment in dangerous individuals! You have all possible experiences of that! You have intimate and extended knowledge of that! You even know how to survive living with them! But self care and taxes, that is the gatekept information. God forbid you know how to live independently.
disabled people: i’m not able to work anymore
insurance: can you do a bunch of work to prove your disability to us so we can confirm you can’t work

my therapist suggested i make an anonymous blog to write about my experiences growing up in an abusive household, because i'm still trying to sort some shit out, and i keep feeling compelled to tell my story. but i can't publicly, because it wouldn't be safe for me. so here we are.
i feel old, the last time I had an active tumblr account was like 2012, lmao. this is weird.
in light of recent events, fuck

Well I finally managed to get my ass up and take a shower for the first time since the funeral so that's something. I feel kind of ridiculous for not showing for a week but at the same time I feel extra extra clean now because the contrast is so stark lol
Nothing justifies abuse, and you are allowed to hate whoever abused you, regardless of who they are or what factors were involved in their own life.
The deep ache in my chest when I hear that family members who claim to love me are traveling to visit my trafficker (mom).
The degree to which I wish she would just fucking die already.
i can get to my desk IF someone moves a chair out of the way is not accessibility
i can get in the building IF i’m having a really good day and can open the door myself is not accessibility
i can get in the building IF i go through loopholes to be allowed to use the accessible entrance is not accessibility
i can get to one desk BUT i don’t have a choice in where i sit and everyone else does is not accessibility
there is an accessible entrance BUT it is farther away and more inconveniently placed than any inaccessible entrance is not accessibility
accessibility should not have conditions. all of these are still good, compared to absolutely no access. but disabled people should not have to settle for “just barely good enough”
