I used to be this girl and I still don't really get why people post this... "gf who's been horrifically abused starter pack"... trauma isn't cute, it's sad
yeah this is basically my wife. it started out cute at the beginning of our relationship but then we learned about the trauma. since then it has been a lot of hard work for both of us but that's okay because I love her and she's worth it. doesn't matter if it's sad instead of cute. traumatized people deserve to feel unconditional love too.
This is the "inadequate gf starter pack" originally. This post is one that twists the self deprecation angle and tells users that they deserve to be loved. It does not fetishise trauma
Yeah this is my girlfriend and most days are a traumatic struggle. Her parents basically put on a master class of what not to do to a nuerodivergent kid.

"how am I supposed to be myself if I don't know who I am" is a fricking mood...
