(TW: mention of SA and trafficking) I really need to vent about what just happened. Someone I called my friend, whom I’ve known for most of my life, said the most vile shit as a response to me trying to help her. She’s been in a really bad place and I’ve offered to help her in every way that I can, but it’s clear that she doesn’t want to be helped and I’m done trying. I recommended a treatment center that was completely free for me because they waved all the fees and I was there for a couple months, the place really helped me so I recommended it to her.

Her response was “I’d rather be r*ped and sell myself to a human trafficking ring than go back to treatment”. I told her that I get she’s in a bad place, but it’s not okay to say shit like that because I know people who have been sex trafficked and it’s extremely offensive. Her response? “Then block me and never talk to me again. I know people who have gone through it too” OKAY WELL THAT MAKES WHAT YOU SAID EVEN MORE VILE AND DISGUSTING. I’m a victim of human trafficking, so her comment made me extremely fucking angry. Imagine being so privileged that you say you’d prefer to be sex trafficked than go to rehab. Honestly, WTF. I guess she showed her true colors. I blocked her immediately, there’s no coming back from that we are officially done. People like that make me so ANGRY I’m fuming and really need to calm down because I have work soon. I can’t believe I ever called this person my “friend”.
