    My mom did this to me when I told her I was having suicidal ideation. “I knew it, I knew you use this against me.” I don’t she was taught to do that for my benefit tho…

        First of all, I appreciate that. Empathy is power. Secondly, I made it out. I’m thriving in ways I never would have imagined even a few months ago, let alone the years it’s been since that situation.

        To anyone who finds themselves in the dark, hold on.

          i feel bit angy that you foo|ed me

          but on the other side feel better from the fact that there’s a happy person standing, where moments ago i imagined an unhappy one

          What’s the reason for the trickery, may i wonder?

                  it was a sleepless nigh for me, and i left lots of comments over here during it. I wonder, how many of them are actually just as stupid

                  drive comment responsibly, kids, don’t repeat my mistakes

      The example in the meme is a technique called redirection, and does not neglect aftercare. It just deescalates the situation to a safer level. Your example is more like emotional abuse, neglect, and more. I’m so sorry that happened to you, I hope you’ve been seen and heard and have a safe place now.

        Yeah, aftercare was certainly not part of the picture for this particular situation. The good news is that I made it out in one piece. I’m living the good life these days, and all the more grateful for it.

        Yeah, kind of a trip realizing maybe that wasn’t the best environment for me. But, hey, at least I made it out. ✌️
