(Anonymous) 2021-05-29 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)My mom thought my paranoid schizophrenic addict dad was a step up, and it's true he never raped me, just put me on starvation diets, force fed me toxic doses of nutritional supplements until I puked, frisbeed meals that weren't pure and healthy enough into the yard while screaming and throwing me around the kitchen, took up with a cocaine addict girlfriend my age while I was in high school, spent decades of savings on drugs of all kinds in a couple years, kicked and threw stuff at my dogs, was finally arrested for shooting out an acquaintance's windows with illegally modified to be fully automatic firearms loaded with armor piercing rounds while wearing body armor because he threatened a cop, patrolled around our yard with his guns refusing to let my mother or I leave, stalked us whenever we went out to eat anywhere insufficiently "pure," and then took all his anti-psychotic meds at once and threw himself in front of a truck and took ten minutes to die.
My mom's drinking and drug use accelerated after that because she blamed herself, she got three different kinds of cancer and used to slam me into the wall or bite me when I took away her alcohol; she would get black out drunk and then bleed everywhere when she fell; her last Christmas, the tree and all the ornaments got covered in blood. When the firemen came in to take her to the hospital, one said "holy FUCK" because the house looked like a horror movie set. Once her esophagus ruptured and she threw up blood all over the house and a neighbor called the cops on me while I was at the hospital with mom because she came to check up on her and thought I'd murdered her.
I haven't done much therapy but I have no trouble sharing this stuff online.
It's possible to have a shit life without being stuck in a cage, and I can't help thinking you must be an awful therapist for thinking your clients, even the ones whose lives were way less awful than mine or even my mother's, should be able to just get over it.
I get that empathy fatigue is a thing, especially for mental health professionals. But your attitude sounds like contempt and the clients you think of like that need a different therapist. If you only acknowledge horrific levels of abuse as justification for trauma, maybe you should specialize in child soldiers, trafficking victims, or warzone refugees.
Also, never fucking work with neurodivergent patients, asshole--I actually am brain damaged from being born three months premature, thanks for noticing.
