RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Change the number, seek out therapy, get your issues under control, and decide what to do next. If the other victim doesn't tell you themselves, you have no reason to know who they are or what happened. If you think you were sexually abused, seek therapy and the police.

Perhaps after seeing a therapist, some day in the future you'll be in a position to communicate your feelings to your family or maybe you'll find it isn't worth it. But if your family situation is adding to your problems, step away silently and work on you. You don't need to announce your departure, just leave.
