Being talked down to -
That never happened.
Being taken advantage of -
That isn't true.
Being stood up -
That's dramatic.
Being violated -
That's just plain wrong.
Being broken -
That's pathetic.
You put finger quotes around my word. The word I used to open up to you.
But oh... I'm so sorry. I didn't realize that you majored in my trauma enough to tell me my own history.
