Can we address the fact that people with good parents get super offended when you explain how awful yours were? Saying things like “your parents would do anything for you”, or “you’re lucky they gave you a roof. Be grateful”. Nope. No you are not going to guilt me into thinking abuse was okay just because they met the basic requirements for the care of a child.
It’s wonderful that your parents are great and would do anything for you. But that statistic does not apply to every parent, and it’s so invalidating and dangerous to imply that, so stop. Think, really deeply think about what I’m saying and why.
Also, don’t make them feel like it’s nothing by claiming your situation is worse, that’s not good for either of you.
We’d like to (re)introduce Artkind, a 13+ Homestuck Discord serving as a hub for artists of all sorts to chill, chat, and create!
Please look through the blog for any information regarding questions, rules, and general information. Now normally this post would have a link for the application, but Tumblr’s system has been rather finicky recently! As a result, we highly recommend that those interested check the blog for the seperate application post, given you’ve read everything else.
