guys i'm scared this wounds rude but yesterday my mom told me she supports p*dophilia and i'm scared that ill have tr@ma now although that isn't tr@ma i'm very scared tho :(

i don't have any tr@ma i just was bothered!! just that once i read this article that says that people with tr@ma can cause to be a bad person so i was scared that because she said that it was but it wasn't, i was just bothered by what she said but it dosent have to do with me so i won't bother also ill try talking to her about it again and hopefully she understands

There is a difference between compassion and endorsement. I do have compassion for someone who happens to be a pedophile, because I understand genetic and environmental factors beyond their control are why they are attracted to children. But I can also find their possibly harmful actions objectionable or even repugnant. We can hold both views simultaneously.

no don't worry! she didn't exactly say she supported it, and this isn't any sort of tr@ma at all i just was bothered , so she started talking about inappropriate stuff with me and saying she's going to f*ck a man , and i told her to not talk about those things with me since i'm literally a minor literally 14! and i tried having a talk to her about how it's wrong and she just completely ignored it :(..

@NOCD Advocate - Carl Cornett i'm sorry but i think that's kind of gross

@NOCD Advocate - Carl Cornett i'm sorry but now i'm kind of uncomfortable with you saying that you understand them :(...

@kokichi Well, I can understand why anyone becomes any particular thing. Let’s imagine a more benign scenario: someone grows up in a household with two addicts are parents. Throughout their childhood drugs are always visible and present. They see their parents use drugs to the point of being completely absorbed in their addiction. As this person grows older, they use drugs at a party and thus begins their own battle with addiction. In this instance, I can understand that they had a genetic predisposition and their environment contributed to the emergence of their addiction. I can understand their addiction is bad for them, and behavior they may engage in as a result of that addiction to be harmful or dangerous for others. Compassion for others connects us more genuinely to the suffering in the world and allows us to reckon with it face-to-face. I am the product of childhood sexual abuse, so it isn’t like I don’t have the experience of being victimized. My abuser should not be around children and their choices were damaging and hurtful for me in ways that I likely can’t fully calculate.

@NOCD Advocate - Carl Cornett oh ok!! thank you! i understand sorry. my mom abused me but since i know what's wrong and what's right i'm positive that i won't harm anyone :D

@NOCD Advocate - Carl Cornett i mean she sort of more verbally abused me
