Hi. I saw your post in feminist and wanted to comment to support what you are saying. I'm not a member of feminist, so I can't comment there or else I would instead of here.

I agree with you that encouraging people to start healing is not a bad thing. I think you do not deserve being attacked for saying that. I don't understand when people say they don't want to start healing--why would anyone want to stay in pain any longer than they had to? Wouldn't they want to start healing a broken leg right away?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, while I'm not surprised by the response, I am bothered by it. I hope you continue your healing and continue encouraging others to begin their healing. That's a good thing to do.

Thanks.

I wish others felt the same way--heal instead of attack.

Which, is what 90% of them did! And apparently, in their eyes, justified.

If you'd like to join a women's comm that doesnt' tolerate that shit, go to we-are-she. It's modded by me, and decked out in pink for October!

I saw your banner in an abuse survivor community and decided to check out your journal. I love your lyrics posts and your other banners. (I am an Aries too so I like the Aries banner.) We have a few interests in common, can I add you?

[phoenix_tempest]

Sure.
Just a warning, the entries with the 'rant' tag, are most likely NOT worksafe.
I try not to post non-worksafe pics, and I do have a temper.
I have ONE rule, when it comes to my journal: don't bitch at me for what I write, and I'll extend you the same curtesy. My journal is my safe space.

Go ahead and add me though, and I'll add you back.

Thanks for the warning. I am a stay at home mom but I wouldn't want to have anything too bad on the screen when the kids are around. I will maybe read some of those after they go to bed.
