Oh, yes, I know the “sensitive” word all too well. It is frustrating when others who have witnessed or experienced “harm” won’t acknowledge it or try to gaslight you or diminish your pain.

And no, we can’t force accountability because it wouldn’t be accountability, but acknowledging it for ourselves is how we commit to our own healing.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me, Anaya. These conversations and forums are a part of the healing process.
