Without exception, every person in my life who has ever bullied, assaulted, or abused me in any way….
….has gotten away with it. I’ve been sitting here *trying* to think of an exception, and I can’t. It’s the truth. Whether it’s “quit being so sensitive, just ignore them and they’ll stop,” or “not enough evidence to convict,” or “what did you do to egg it on?” or “there’s two sides to every story,” or “surely it’s not that big a deal, you’re making mountains out of molehills,” or “he didn’t know what he was doing, he’s sick in the head, you have to excuse him and let it go,” no justice has ever been served for me being harmed in any way. I learned early in my life that it’s only called “abuse,” “assault,” or “bullying” if it happens to somebody else. If it happens to me, it’s just “oh well, shut up about it, other people have been through worse.” How can I realize this fact and not end up incredibly depressed? |
