Blogs post every Thursday, sometimes also on Tuesdays. Come back for more survivor of abuse related stories, art, poetry, etc.
ABUSE
HEY READER: Thanks for being here! These stories are meant to help us all feel less alone, like we belong. We have a few guidelines:
Anonymity does not give you the license to hate, to be cruel, or to judge. No keyboard attackers allowed in comments or on other platforms.
Controversial subjects and life experiences are a given. Just because there is not a picture of a face of the person who wrote it, does not mean they are not human. RESPECT is mandatory. Differences of opinion are encouraged, and respectful disagreements are allowed, but any hate speech or attacking will get your comments deleted and reported.
