Can we please be the generation that stops putting up with the family child molester? The grown uncle who dates teenage girls, the husband who makes uncomfortable comments about young women’s clothing, or the cousin who raises red flags with their behavior towards children but no one wants to talk about all need to go. Children, especially young women, are expected to “keep the family together” by not making a fuss over incredibly traumatic behavior. Children don’t deserve to suffer trauma for adults’ feelings of togetherness. They’re more worthy of protection than predators. A healthy family is not built on the backs of abuse survivors expected to live their lives in silence without justice, support, or protection.
teach ur daughters and sisters that it is okay to be alone, that the existence of a relationship does not make them whole.
don’t shame your friends for wanting to be alone/being single
relationships entered with these unhealthy mindsets will most likely be unhealthy and unfulfilling
this is important. a lot of girls and women are jumping from relationship to relationship, hoping to feel fufilled without knowing themselves, it’s dangerous
