EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just letting everyone know im doing better with my mental health now and also
TW discusses SH, suicidal ideation, abuse, and other sensitive topics. please do not read if you are uncomfortable with those topics!
long story but my dad was abusive. i found out he has a new business; hes like a wildlife photographer. i think i have to type it out bc i dont know how to put photos on a blog post (or if i can or not). me being me i decided to put my word in.
me - wow what a dedicated photographer!! too bad you couldnt be dedicated to your wife and kids and instead chose to physically and mentally abuse them
him - people can change and humans make mistakes.. big ones. i lost all the people that were important to me. "without people, your nothing" joe strummer
him - you must also understand that not everything youve been force fed is true.
him - if you ever want to discuss what actually happened, im open to doing so.
let me just like annotate real quick here. first and foremost he used the wrong "your/re" in the quote from joe strummer. also like how dare you quote joe strummer to me??!?! second i was NEVER force fed anything, i witnessed his abuse firsthand. third of all i think that comment really got to him because he deleted it and like went into damage control and like followed me and did all this stuff it was really funny. anyway i added him back after careful consideration and heres the messages i sent.
youre an evil cunt, i never had anything "force fed" to me. i witnessed your abuse with my own child eyes. i dont really think you grasp how much youve actually damaged us all but ill give you a few of my own examples. i cant look at power cords without thinking about when you strangled yourself with one. i cant play dodgeball in pe because you threw a phone at my head and every time something goes near my head i cry, and you wouldnt know that the girls scream at me in pe for sitting out of dodgeball and i can never say why because im so ashamed that i never had a father like theirs. someone in class said "i like rusty spoons" and i went and vomited in the toilets. i cant look at deer because it reminds me of you. i get emotionally attached to my male teachers because not once in my life have i ever had a father figure and you couldnt grow the fuck up and be one. fathers day every year i have a full on breakdown all because of you. i couldnt count the number of times ive dug into my thighs with a blade thinking about you and everything you did, i try to feel pain elsewhere because the pain of having a father who abused my entire family consumes me and it only gets worse and worse as i get older. i cant help but sexually objectify myself for guys because ive never actually had male validation or unconditional love from a man. you wouldnt know the heart to heart i had with my teacher about how you ruined my life and how hard ive cried on my bedroom floor because i am hindered and different from every kid my age. when i see girls my age with their dads in public, i go home and i burst into tears because i wish i couldve had that. you know on camp this year we went to go see a movie and the guy in the movie started yelling at his girlfriend. all i could think about is when i was younger and hid under the bed and your voice boomed throughout that stupid house we lived in. how do you feel that your daughter (hard to call myself that since you arent and never were my dad) had a meltdown on a street corner in melbourne at 10 30 at night because she watched a movie in which someone was like you, ben? i was never force fed anything, i witnessed with my own eyes how badly you beat tom because of a pillow fight. a pillow fight. if anything, i just hope you are embarrassed at how pathetic of a "man" you are. you lost no one either, you just manipulated everyone into thinking mum lied. and if its the last thing i do, i will make sure you lose everyone because you lost nothing. do you know what my siblings and i all lost? our childhoods. do you know what mum lost? everything. dont ever sit on your fat fucking arse ever again and say you lost everyone important to you. if youre referencing us, your "family", that statement still holds true. we were never important to you. do you know what hurts? when your friends tell you how smart you are for your age. how emotionally intellegent you are at 15. "alice, i feel like i can tell you anything and youll always have good advice." hmm i wonder why. no other girl at my school has sat on her bedroom floor contemplating suicide every single night because daddy didnt love her, and she had to see daddy beat mum and beat her brothers. and she had to hear his big loud voice terrorising mum. do you know what hurts? when someone you trusted uses the information youve confided in them against you. "haha boys you know alice once told me she doesnt have a dad. well alice, you do and you have to accept that hes your dad, hes your father, despite all that." you never were my dad and you never will be. you know what hurts? when your music teacher suggests we play lucy in the sky with diamonds, and you used to play that song in the car, and i cried and begged him to not do that song, and i couldnt explain myself. that hurts. you are a piece of absolute scum on the face of this earth and it will be my lifes mission to make you miserable. why would you ever quote joe strummer to me too? the clash's manifesto was anti-violence and that does not align with your morals. the stench of hypocrisy exudes off you like milk left in the sun on a hot summers day.
ill be updating with his reply soon. just wanted to post about this because im on this weird high of like getting revenge

hellooo, i saw you sent me a request. i don't friend minors but! i wanted to say something because i read this and it got me.
when i was your age, i didn't think i'd live to see 18. then i turned 18 and it felt like 20 was centuries away. when i turned 20, things were still hard. the cusp of childhood and adulthood, trapped between a rock and a hard place. but i met my boyfriend (we've been together 11 years now!), and i started to learn a little more about myself as a person independent from my family and childhood. still, it was hard to imagine ever being 25.
did i have it all figured out by 25? GOD, NO! still so much growing to do, still so much learning; about myself, about the world, and my place in it. at this point it was becoming easier to think about a future. not just fantasy, but a real, true future. what was i interested in? how could i apply my interests and hobbies to make the trajectory of my life a little more steady? things were stabilizing a bit... but thinking about ever turning 30? what a scary number!
then i turned 30 and i realized... i haven't felt a day older since i was around 18. mentally, at least. emotionally, a shit ton of growth has happened. but i was still in that same frame of mind as a young adult first graduating high school and wondering what to do next. and that's not a scary feeling anymore. it's almost freeing. i'm limited by what i can do, but the things i can do, i have full control over, and that's a comfort to me in this crazy world.
i just turned 31 last week. never, at your age, could i have imagined making it this far. life hasn't been easy. but the world is beautiful. there is so much good, and where there isn't, i want to help fix that in any way i can.
i didn't do well in school. i went to college for 3 weeks (only went to classes for the first week and a half or so), dropped out, and i have only worked on and off over the years (disabled, but not on disability). i'm lucky enough to have family members willing to support me, for now. i still get scared. i still don't know what the hell i'm doing. but i've been able to do a lot of thinking and a lot of healing. it feels good. i want you to have that, too. i want everybody to have the chance to have that.
i know it doesn't get better for everybody. but you deserve to have the chance. hang in there, okay? your shit father and rough childhood don't determine the entire trajectory of your life, not if you don't let them.
love u so much thank u
