The abuse didn’t make you strong - you had it in you the whole time. Someone temporarily dimmed your light. Now that you are 🔥don’t give abusers credit for making you strong. Thick of yourself as a force to be reckoned with- moving forward 🌺

[Gretchen Smith @codeofvets]

I cannot begin to tell you how powerful it is when we can stop an eviction or get a vet into an apartment. It breathes new life into them. Hope. It lets them know someone cares. You cannot buy that. Help us. Help veterans. We have a long line. #codeofvets

So much more work!

[Trauma Therapist Rants @ttherapistrants]

Taking down a video, changing a passage, or printing a retraction is not good enough when any marginalized or underrepresented community tells you how much you’ve harmed them. Reconciliation takes more work than that.

When you've been abused or betrayed by family, especially immediate family, it becomes almost impossible to trust again.

Tread lightly with these survivors. Their walls are high. It's a privilege to be let in. Anyone who re-traumatizes a survivor of this, is pure evil.

I have DID. I was abused for 15 yrs #SRA I hate saying this, not because I am ashamed but because what does #SRA mean? Horrific, toxic #CSA

[Nate Postlethwait @nate_postlethwt]

Telling a traumatized person they must forgive in order to heal is attaching them back to their abuser, recreating a vulnerable dependency out of their control. Forgiveness is not always a beneficial tool in healing trauma. Trauma work is a tool to heal trauma.

Depression is sometimes waking up, and you’re ready to conquer the world, other times waking up and wishing you hadn’t.

The importance of having a power of attorney for every person cannot be underestimated.

‘It broke me’: Everyone says you need power of attorney, but nobody tells you how hard it is to use https://t.co/qWOthyi6WR

This is wrong. @USATODAY will run an article on us if we pay them $15K and that is a bargain. They were going to charge us $50K.

We do not have staff or budget to do this. This is what I mean when I say people say they want to help vets until it is time to help.
