@loudly.leo: I am not crazy for telling you the crazy thing that happened to me. Now, this is not the only reason why abusive people do harmful acts, but this thought has stuck with me for years and provided me a lot of comfort over the “crazier” parts of my story that are harm for some to believe. #patriarchy #relationships #dating #abuse #healing
It's called refuge in audacity. The abuser does audacious things that seem so out of pocket that its hard for people who didnt go through it to believe it

This is used against children often in trafficking rings. They wear masks and give cartoon names to the kids so they sound crazy.

“There’s no way your father would do that.” Well, I just told you he did and I can assure you there is a way.

every single teacher would tell me "that doesn't sound right, a parent wouldn't do that" I was a loud mouth about the abuse. we had a CPS case most years because I would not shut TF up. but I lived in a clean home with food. so the fact that I was being beat and given cruel and unusual punishment was overlooked.

The number of people that have said “that doesn’t seem real”, and I’m only saying maybe 5% of the harm

This also makes people question your innocence in the matter. How and why would someone do something SO audacious and extreme if you didn’t do something to escalate it to that level.

He pretended to sleep walk. He pretended to have night terrors. I never wanted to tell people that. I was so embarrassed.

Thankfully I was never tortured, but when I try to talk about my childhood with my mom, people say "Are you sure? I know your mom. She's the sweetest person I know. She would never do that."

I saw stuff about that in the Epstein files about how they would make the inside of the rooms so insane that when kids would tell, no one ever believed them

This is sooooooo reassuring to hear. I still can’t really talk about a lot of the stuff that happened in my first serious relationship even though it was almost 10 years ago now-the things that he did were so unbelievable it doesn’t sound like it happened. I get embarrassed and feel stupid bc I sound crazy and delusional

When your own family look at you sideways, you just stay silent. Hope you find your safe people, you deserve it. Found mine, they have been friends for decades.

I was trying to sue and lawyers would hang up on me when I told what my co worker did. I wasn’t the crazy one they were. I started a work from home job. One month in out of the blue I was fired for sacrificing a dove to Satin and cursing my co workers unborn child. I went to the Eeoc and found out my co worker found my Facebook and used my profile picture and fabricated messages in my name. I had absolute proof they were fabricated a picture she used did not exist at the time stamp in the messages. I had evidence. Then she broke into my house cut my gas line and left a walnut in my cup cabinet.

This is absolutely true. I’ve also found that people have a hard time believing me because I talk about it so nonchalantly. I’ve been through a LOT of therapy, and I can talk about my abuse without getting emotional now, and that seems to make people think it can’t really have been THAT bad if I can just talk about these terrible things so casually.

I'm mixed race & my mom is white. No one believes that a well-educated white woman is abusing her brown kids. My mom had manic episodes & would do absolutely insane psychological shit, then would tell other adults that I was just lying, angry, acting out.
