Getting away from toxic family is so heartbreaking but so necessary if we want to thrive. I wish her the best.
Stalking such a mind fuck. It changed who I am as a person.
I’m scrolling tiktok -> the shadows on the blinds might be him outside (it was more than once)
I need groceries, want to get food, or get my nails done -> I have to check every single car in my periphery that comes or goes (because he would follow me, often)
I’m eating at a restaurant -> I have to sit with my back to a wall facing the door so he can’t come up behind me
I’m at the dog park -> I have to keep my eye on the gate to see if he follows me to try and talk to me
I’m at work -> I have to tell building security, my boss, and my boss’s boss that I am being harassed. He calls my work phone 20 times a day. He stands outside the building so I can see him waiting for me. He’s in a public area on a public street, so I can’t do a damn thing about it.
That poor girl. It’s very likely that family member is one of her parents. I can’t imagine.
Wishing her nothing but the best in the future. Child abuse really needs to be like… I can’t put it into words… I wish kids could sue their parents basically. As a survivor myself, being abused as a kid fucks with your entire life, it haunts you in adulthood, years of therapy help but you can’t change the past. It can take so much for a person to distance their family or cut them off entirely. I’ll always be on the side of the children/adult children. Abusive parents deserve the worst and I’m not sorry for saying it.
People don’t talk enough about the abuse (and often times neglect) that can occur in adoptive families. For international adoptees like Miyako and myself, there’s the added layer of having absolutely no one to fall back on if your adoptive family abuses you. If you report the abuse, there’s the risk of being put back into the system. My adoptive father constantly threatened to send me back to my country of birth if I told anyone about the abuse. Adoptees are always othered, no matter how much a parent or family member may claim that they don’t see you as coming from someone else. There’s also so much secrecy, corruption, shame, guilt, and obligation wrapped up in adoption. It’s a broken system that prioritizes the needs and wants of the adoptive parents over the adoptee and birth parents.
I commend her for speaking up. I hope she finds the safety and security that she deserves but has never received.
I can’t believe that a Coogan fund can be signed over at 18! Ik its probably more like they tricked her into putting the money in another bank account and then transferring it to them, but ugh is there any type of law that could be put in place to stop this? What evil people. She is so strong and I hope she can get all the support she needs!
