Could well be right. I agree coercive control is difficult cos it’s a pattern and victims “willingly” do things. SA can be a one off crime so it can be easier. You may be right though

Yes and there’s maybe some strings been pulled behind the scenes about what evidence was allowed.

Ahhhh that makes sense thanks. Could they not have considered different charges eg sexual assault charges

Oh that is one gorgeous kitty

You have my sympathy

That’s really interesting thanks!

That’s really interesting. Can we make any educated guesses about what it was like?

Yes it’s your call. It was for me, it gave me peace about being labelled as thick as a kid and it helps me in day to day life.

Ah didn’t realise I’d got it from here. Apologies for the repost I’ll delete

Haha thanks mate! sorry didn’t realise

Crikey did I share this one already? I don’t remember when was it?

I’ve had a great day! Met my friend then did chores, then watched telly and chilled.

I know! We really don’t deserve cats

I’m flat. Not good, not bad, just flat. Day is nearly over though which is good

Been there my friend.

Noooooooooo!!!

You’re welcome 😊

Haha yep!

That’s rough mate. The nothing is just a void, emptiness and it’s hard living with that. It sounds more like depression to me. Have you reached out at !mentalhealth@lemmy.world they’re really supportive

Thanks mate I re edited my comment to put it all back incase it’s helpful. And absolutely, gender can make a big difference to how a child is treated. It is kinda good that you don’t know what you’ve missed. I get what you mean about childhood still haunting you, it’s really hard to unlearn things we learned back then. Therapy can really help, it can change how we think… it’s about self development not things being wrong with us
