I was raped and became pregnant. It’s a complicated story, but eventually I decided I was going to keep the kids and then had a miscarriage. The anniversary is coming up and I’ve been thinking about this question a lot. Is it okay to bring kids into this situation? How do you eventually talk to them about it? Yes I have a therapist and yes I’m okay, I’m just struggling with this question.
The 5 year anniversary of my rape is coming up. I was assaulted my whole life but this one also got me pregnant which plays a huge role in how I feel. Idk, I want to chop all my hair off and use a potato peeler to peel off my skin (not actually, I’m okay I promise!). I’m struggling. I have 2 therapy appointments this week but I really don’t know how to make it til then.
There was a post here about seclusion boxes being used, and that is clearly terrible. However, I’m sick of people saying that we should get rid of seclusions all together. It’s actually a really concerning viewpoint considering how often teachers and other students are hurt. I want to have a frank discussion with people about when we use seclusion, why we use it, and why it’s important to keep that option of last resort open to educators.
