Hi everyone. I’m really sorry for not being active lately. I just haven’t had the spoons for this. Thank you for your continued support. The blog will be up and running again as soon as I feel a bit better which will hopefully be soon.

Love, Lane

I have tons and tons of submissions lined up and I’m really sorry I’m so behind in publishing them. Its been sort of rough for me the past couple days and I’ve been trying to concentrate on things that have nothing to do with being a survivor. I hope you understand. However I promise I’ll be up and running and posting more very soon. I might even publish some of these later tonight. 

In the meantime feel free to keep submitting, it just might be a day or two before the blog is fully functioning. I’m really sorry about the inconvenience. 

Love and support <3

Reading through countless abuse stories online but finding nothing you can really relate to.

Seeing so many younger survivors in unsafe, awful living situations like the one you finally got out of and feeling almost personally responsible for what they’re going through.

Anonymous asked: Is this blog just for sexual abuse and assault? Any blogs for physical abuse?

It started off as just sexual abuse/assault, but since then we’ve gotten a lot of submissions for domestic violence, emotional abuse, and physical abuse of many kinds. Our problems can be similar so we have a lot of love and support to offer one another.

However, I’m sure there are more specific non-sexual abuse blogs out there, I’m afraid I don’t know any, though - if anyone knows any, comment on this post. <3

When someone goes out of their way to do something nice for you and your initial thought is what they want in return. It takes a great effort to accept that someone is just being nice.

When you get the same advice from a million different people and it’s always as vague and unhelpful as “you need to get over that” and “you need to get away from that abusive family.”

no shit, sherlock, I never thought of that before.

When you never feel like you’re good enough to deserve survival.
