being a victim of severe abuse is actually so dehumanising, you can't talk about the full extent of it with anyone, even those that care about u, because u need to make it palatable for everyone or they will make you feel disgusting as if u decided what your abusers did to you

It's so weird when people try to portray opposition to child abuse as cultural ignorance, as if hitting your kids wasn't also the norm in most white cultures until very recently. My father got beaten so regularly as a kid that he's got a dent on the back of his head.
