Yeeeaaah there's stories I've told my husband and him being all D: and "I understand you a bit more again" is concerning but also very felt.

Is that better or worse than winning therapy?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I can't afford therapy, so best option I have is concern my husband every few months!

Wow. Congrats to you if you have people like this in your life.

My friends tell me, "Put that memory back in the vault." That feels close, I guess.

Ah yes, I love a good lighthearted story that's actually

My aunt who lives halfway across the country apologized to me recently for not having helped when I was being mistreated as a kid. She actually called it abuse, and I was like ... Huh.

Usually this doesn't happen to me actually and I know when things can be kind of messed up. But one time I was telling a story of when my dad threw a trumpet at my older brother which I thought was conceptually hilarious in retrospect as an adult. But yeah I got a similar sort of response as the OP lol. Don't worry, all us kids are all grown up now and my brother is even no contact with my dad so it's all good!
