Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they face years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of that trauma and said “This ends with me.” This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker.

When you side with someone’s abuser, you’re not “agreeing to disagree.” You’re agreeing with the abuser harming another person & making the survivor pay for it. It may take a survivor time, but the more they heal, the more aware they are of all who play a part in their silence.

One of the worst things you can teach a child is that there is something wrong with the way they’re made. Correcting poor behavior provides them growth. Condemning them because they’re different from you takes their dignity away.

Behind the people who are told "Well, why didn't you speak up?" is a story that many, if not most, are not ready to hear.

Be kind to people-pleasers. Many of them were taught the only way to be accepted was to give others what they want without getting anything back. They were taught this by people that were supposed to keep them safe and teach them about love. Seriously, be kind.

We live 15 minutes apart. We text and chat often. And then, once a year, we meet IN PERSON like real adults. @DrDoyleSays #qualitytimeismylovelanguage

Loneliness is a complicated topic for people who are estranged. They're trying to find out who they are away from those who've hurt them. They're trying to find a version of themselves at peace, & they're not quite sure who to trust with their heart, their story, & their time.

When you confront someone who responds by shaming you or changing the subject, they’re telling you they’re not going to hear you. People do this when they feel exposed or threatened. Their motive is to regain control of the narrative. You being heard is not part of that equation.

Being the first or only one to speak up about abuse in your home or community does not make you a snitch, a tattletale, or weak. It makes you a cycle breaker. You speaking up opens doors for others needing to know things should be different. You deserve respect.

You will be disrespected by people who envy your ability to be authentic. You will be dismissed by people who fear your strength in how you address your pain. You will be critiqued by oppressors as you find the things that set you free. It’s your life. Don’t slow down for them.

I wish people understood that many with cPTSD are attempting to build skills, connection, and a life they never had. We promote this idea that they need to make a change to return to their original self, while not naming many of them don’t have a foundation to return to.
