Growing up..
TW: childhood trauma/abuse
hi,
you can call me bunny. i hope your well. i really appreciate that your taking a second to read this and I know that some of you may have probably gone through something similar or have gone through different forms of trauma.
growing up i only grew up around the phrases 'go k1ll yourself if you can't look after yourself' , 'i would have rather give birth to a stone than a useless child like you' , 'you make our life ***' , 'why are you so defensive ' , 'crying wont solve the problem. dont be stupid' , 'if only you could grow up quicker and get out of here' , 'you useless brat ', 'you want a slap?' , 'you want to 1ill yourself? You don't have to.ill help you. ' and then they would hit me and beat me. and the list goes on and on and on. i grew up around abusive people and ***. physically and mentally.
but of course i won't go into detail.. recently i was forced to stay with an abusive man. the worse time of my life. it wasn't the trauma that hurt, it was the fact my mom watched me get beaten and hit and starved and smiled about it. my dad is no longer alive.
but anyways.. coming to the point, we all grow up around people who say words. who act in different ways. we grow up around people and are often influenced. but my hope is you use your words kindly. wheather it's your child , your friend or your family. be kind.
your words will be their inner voice.
I remember everything I was told as a child. and I'm 14. 💙 people might forget your words, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
be kind.
Bunny

I am so sorry u had to go through so much and uk the saddest part I can kind of relate to you Ill turn 16 this month but like the years when I was complete child always smiling and happy there were times my parents took that smile away I know it was out of anger and they only want the best for me but those words are still stuck with me and I doubt they will ever go away so yeah I understand where u r coming from the least anyone can do is be kind and I agree it really does make a big difference 🤍
