Re: Trauma dumping

Not necessarily in a huge, impactful way. More like a seemingly run-of-the-mill thing that I never thought about, but it looks different now that I'm more than two decades away from that memory.
Something that as an adult I'm loosely threading together as possible small points that add up to bigger things.

I'm not saying I was traumatized remembering my interactions with my teacher. I wasn't.
It's just that this is another memory where, with more information and context, I'm realizing that in broad strokes, children's minds are malleable and some adults either didn't care or took advantage of that.
I personally didn't fall victim to many dangerous adults, but the fact that I discover some kids had been harmed by those adults? It makes me sad when adults take advantage of the vulnerability and attention of children.

And that's why I don't really know if this is something I can talk to others about. I know I possibly am making a huge deal out of nothing. Like, maybe my teacher was just wanting to do it for shock value to get the class's attention. Maybe she was trying to bait students into seeking for more of a one on one relationship with her because she was a cool teacher. I will never know.

I think things like this come off alarming to me now because I never really had guardians who looked out for me and protected me, especially when it came to things of the sexual nature (I'd been exposed to sex way, way too early and it'd been presented in a puritanical "sex is evil but those who participate in it seem to glamourize it at the same time" way). And at the same time, I have siblings who have kids, and so now, as an adult who has really fond feelings of wanting to protect those kids, I just am so disturbed that adults can be so selfish and predatory.

I guess I want to figure confusing times from my youth out so I can try to protect the kids I care about in my life.

I get what you mean anon. Sometimes small details that may not be that weird on their own stand out to you because of your feelings about a situation.

I would advise taking some time to think through your feelings, it's normal to be upset and reconsider your relationship with someone you found out was a predator. Your feelings are your feelings, it's okay to be upset by stuff.
