Depression It’s not always sadness.
It’s dishes piling up.
Messages unread.
Hair unwashed.
And a voice in your head whispering, “You’re failing,”

Let's stop treating a survivor's silence like it was the problem.
The problem was the abuse.
The problem was the threats, manipulation, shame, fear, and circumstances that made speaking up so difficult.

They ask themselves why they didn't speak up, why they didn't fight harder, or why they didn't stop it.
But the responsibility belongs to the person who chose to abuse them.
Not the child.
Not the survivor.

And you don't have to carry the blame for how you survived it.
You're not broken, you're meant to heal.

It's not about us, it's about them, & their need for control.
Work on yourselves, for the sake of everyone else around you...
