    My mother was the abuser in my home. She abused me and my father. That fact doesn’t prevent me from knowing that men are statistically more likely to be the aggressor. I don’t know what I’m trying to say with this comment. Life is scary and hard enough. May we all only share and receive kindness.

    Xx love you.

      So sorry to hear that.

      I read:

      1 - men absolutely get abused

      2 - we don’t need to entirely eliminate any of the existing narrative that women have it rough [but let’s add abuse of men to the picture]

      No notes besides sending some love back, brother.

      That is very kind of you, cokeslutgarbage. Not my business but anyway: this may be the moment when a username deserves to be changed.

      I don’t know what I’m trying to say with this comment

      That despite being actual victim of abuse, and further witnessing your father be a victim of abuse, You still try to push the narrative that women are the only real victims and the only ones deserving of support.

      and I dont say this to be mean, or snarky, or cruel to you. You’ve just got to realize how internalized you’ve got this shit.
