Hi Eric

I already shared my email address with you on the previous page. Look forward to hearing from you!

Don’t worry, I don’t mind if you send multiple emails. I don’t have email notifications set up on my phone so it won’t ping me when you send a message but I do check it every day.

I sent you a message. I also have an email if you prefer. tbthrowaway64@gmail.com

Hi Eric

Always happy to talk to you!

It’s a website that is an offshoot of reddit. Hosts images and videos. Lots of memes. There’s a chat function, you would just need to create an account and verify your email address.

Hi Eric

I’m sorry today has been a unique day for me. I can’t really be here for you today as much as I’d like to be. I might have some time later tonight to write back to you properly. Otherwise, it’ll be tomorrow.

I know that it’s really tough for you at the moment and I’m sorry.

You don’t deserve the pain that you are experiencing right now. I would encourage you to use any self-soothing skills that you’ve amassed.

Take it a little bit of time at a time. Do your best to distract yourself and get through these difficult moments. You have been so brave posting those pictures. It will require you to be brave a while longer. But you are strong even though you might not feel it right now. You’ve had painful experiences before and you’ve gotten through them.

Hi Tee

Thank you for understanding and for not asking more questions about the abuse. It’s difficult to talk about.

Your explanation regarding Anita’s comment was very helpful. It helped a lot, after that it kind of clicked into place and I understood what she meant and what her intentions were. I didn’t feel any pain about it after that.

Regarding the staying silent for peace. I think it’s a very personal choice. There is no right or wrong answer. It’s personal preference.

I appreciate that you gave me the opportunity to discuss feelings about all this.

The comments did bother me because she expected that she could express herself, yet I should stay silent despite how I had been treat. I expressed to her before, if she wants me to stay silent. She should cease making these types of comments.

I value healthy communication, that’s why I think this community is important. I get along well in the workplace where again healthy communication is valued. In the workplace if one person starts ignoring another coworker. That’s not acceptable. I also felt that ignoring people was a form of abuse for someone who values talking to everyone.

It was additionally hurtful because I had communicated with her for a long time. I actually considered her a friend. But one interaction that she felt uncomfortable with was enough to start treating me unfairly.

Anyway… My point was that when someone finds drowning or suffocating shocking to the point of disbelief. It hurts because are worse things that happened to me.

Hi Tee

I see the confusion. I was very small as a tween because I was starved. The sexual abuse was fairly minor. I didn’t really notice it until I started to hit puberty when it started to escalated and I developed a sense of modesty.

It was when I started to fight it that the drowning and suffocating started. As an adult now, looking back I see myself then as a small child. I wasn’t a toddler.
