Just a girl catching her Mum up on life since she died. (That was a lot, but I'm proud of her)

This girl needs professional therapy to deal with a lot of trauma in her early life.

Posting online isn't a substitute for dealing with your issues and usually makes things worse in the long run.

This was sad to watch.

This girl is either going to grow up to be a social worker or a sociopath.

Maybe both.

Her awareness of the whole ordeal is keeping her sane, that's a tough woman right there.

The police throwing a bunch of normal household items away is fucking abysmal too. Shame she was too young to sue at the time and her dad was the reason it happened in the first place.

I hope she soon has enough money to get her own house for real.

My wife was orphaned in her early teens, both parents lost to cancer within a short time. No close family, so passed around from distant relative to distant relative for years, until she turned 17. Quite a bit of abuse came her way as she was moved from home to home. She then moved far away to a different state, put herself through Uni, twice, once for Psychology, followed by a Human Services BS/BA.

When everyone went home during the holidays, she'd just stay in halls of residence. No one to visit, nowhere to go.

This young woman reminds me very much of her. Very strong, with a lot of compassion in there, too.

I wish her all the very best.

You created a WINNER!!!!🤗

This is an incredibly healthy way to talk through issues and prevent them from crushing you. You don’t even have to post this, this is great advice for youngins. If you have a loved one who is gone, even a grandma or something, do this exercise and record it if you want, post if you want, but doing this regardless is so healthy. Hell, record it like you are talking to yourself in the past, that could work too. 

In my experience most of the time in therapy, the big progress moments are just when you say something out loud in a way that makes you realize something new about that experience. Like I went through a super traumatic freak accident of a moment (too sad to describe, it puts not people off), and I experienced all of it, but having to physically explain it to someone else helped me realize what I went through and be more kind to myself about it. 

That’s what most of this is, we are taught to bear our pain and keep in private, but saying it out loud, and sometimes seeing someone’s face scrunch up hearing your story is all it takes for you to realize “I went through some awful shit” and that can be invigorating when you can step back from that and say “and look at me now” or “now that I know this, I can go forward knowing x, y, z”. 

We are in a world of very few social face to face connections and if this is a way for people to help themselves, I’m all for it. Good on you girl, and remember kiddos, “your mental health is almost never your fault, but it is ALWAYS your responsibility” ❤️

All the best

Fuckin heartbreaking.

Awww wishing you all the best honey!!

That's some real strength right there
proud of her too
