HUGE TW FOR MENTIONS OF ABUSE, ASSAULT, DRUGS AND SELF-HARM.
I been talking to some friends about someone I knew back in late 2023-early 2024 that had made mine and many of my friend's lives hell, and now that my brain has had ample time to process it all, I came to a pretty horrifying and depressing conclusion.
This person was 13 at the time (they're 14 now AFAIK), but constantly they would make OCs, scenarios, and/or put characters through the most horrifying things unimaginable. And not just your standard abuse, I'm talking neglect, drugs, assault (both physical and sexual), manipulation, suicide, cutting themselves or others, anything horrid under the sun you can think of, this person was guaranteed to have it in there in some way.
Many of us cut ties with this kid for our own safety and mental health, but it's been almost a year or so since then, and remembering what they did, do I now realize how awful their own home life really is.
When your last 14 years has been nothing but all of that shit, your first automatic thoughts are gonna be that other people are living in similar home situations, that person might have a carnal desire for you, they wanna use you, etc. etc.
And living constantly thinking this is how life is on the outside as well, it's a terrifying prospect because it's all you know.
Do not get me wrong, I have no plans of ever getting back into contact with this person whatsoever, I refuse to since they nearly ruined my life with a callout doc that was bogus SIMPLY because I cut ties with them (and for good reason), but I do hope that one day this kid will realize just how damaging their life at home truly is, and that they eventually escape to somewhere safer and seek out professional help for all they went through.
I just think that, with where they are now, they're not worth my time or space to give attention to.
But I do hope that anybody out there that is in a similar situation that's reading this: Please, don't give up hope. Whatever friends you have made that are genuinely helping you, they hope you can wake up to talk to them again the next day. Don't give up, the sun will shine brighter each day for you.
You're stronger than you think.
