If a survivor tells you what happened to them and it doesn't make sense to you then the problem is not with the survivor's story or how they're explaining it - the problem is with your understanding of how abusers abuse.
If someone is treating you horribly this holiday, you do not deserve this.
If someone is making you feel worthless, this is about them & their issues, it is no reflection on you.
You deserve a gentle, peaceful, relaxed holiday season.
You gotta learn to delay your reaction when people are purposely trying to provoke you. You're not a puppet, your mood doesn't change based on how others want you to feel. You control you. You control if, when and how you wanna react.
