What I will not do on this blog...
Jan. 29th, 2018 01:49 pmThis is a place for recovery and support. I will not:
-- Reveal my identity or my source. What story I come from does not matter for the purposes of this blog.
-- Discuss my host's trauma. This blog is not about my host. It is about me.
-- Describe my abuse in gruesome detail. My trauma work is private and I will not post it here. That is not the kind of tone I want for this project, and I do not want my experiences to be used by others as a tool of self-harm. And I am tired of dwelling on it anyway.
-- Argue with people who do not want to approach me in good faith, and defend the validity of my existence, feelings or experiences to people who don't want to believe in me. My validity is a given. This blog is written from the base assumption that I am a person, my feelings and needs are as valid as anyone else's regardless of the subjective nature of my existence, and should be respected for what they are.
