I am here for the "bad" survivors.
I am here for people who don't perform perfectly as they recovered from their trauma and abuse.
I am here for people who weren't believed.
I am here for people who went back, who reached out, who were unsure about what was happening to them until they were.
I am here for people who behaved chaotically and uncharacteristically in reaction to their trauma.
I am here for people who screamed, yelled, or hit back.
I am here for people who froze, stayed silent, or couldn't fight back.
I am here for people who couldn't get their stories straight, because their own memories of what happened were so fractured by the trauma.
I am here for people who's boundaries became rigid and impermeable as they tried to create a new sense of safety in their life.
I am here for people who lost all boundaries, who felt unsafe setting any boundaries in the wake of having them violated.
Whatever happened that makes you feel like you were a "bad" survivor, I am here for you.
There are no "bad" survivors because there are no "good" survivors. Surviving is hard.
