I am a rape survivor and my partner is a rape baby and she said that a woman was "asking for it" by walking past in fishnet stockings and a mini skirt while she was having dinner with us. It was at that point that I started to think that I didn't need her in my life.
I tried to talk to her about it and she didn't remember saying it and said that she was just telling the truth because she is allowed to voice her opinions. ugh, I can't even say half the things she said to me without a trigger warning.
The problem is there was no closure so despite me finishing the call with "I have met you, you are a horrible person and I want nothing to do with you", she just said "that's it, get angry, let your anger out. You need someone to be mad at and I'm a safe option" and then just as I was leaving to meet someone for dinner she called to say hi.
I would LOVE it if she left me alone. But she won't.

Things to keep in mind when interacting with me:
1. Do not try to medicate me. I am not on medication for a very good reason.
2. I don't do hugs.
3. If I ask for help, it is because I am at the breaking point, otherwise I have a bad habit of keeping quiet. Please do not brush me off.
