hi. if you’re a young person or teenager who happens to be following me: write it down! keep a secret diary, a notepad, a blog your parents don’t have access to. write it down. keep a record somehow.
when i was a little kid and both my dad & i were being actively abused by my mom, he was familiar enough w her gaslighting that he instructed me at elementary school age to write down all the horrible things she did/said to me. it would be useful in court when custody was being argued and it would be useful to ME, years later, when my mom would try and convince me none of it happened. i had the proof, often word for word, that it did–and there was no hope in convincing my mom but a lot of hope in convincing myself and holding my stance against her. it was pivotal to advocating for myself and my feelings and eventually leaving her in my dust!
write it down!!! it’s so frustrating to have to deal with this bullshit, whether your parents are outright abusive or just fucking toxic/dysfunctional assholes. but you can do something for yourself and your mental health and that something is writing it down.
Giving Barbies UV Printed faces, half print sack dresses, poorly chosen colour lips and polypropylene hair is in fact fashion doll cruelty. Dolls having these things in fact gives them a lower quality of life and shortens their life span significantly.
Look at that and tell me this is how a happy and healthy Barbie Princess looks like?
No! An healthy Barbie Princess needs a dress full of layers, frills and ornaments! Plastic tops may looks sturdy but are in fact limiting the posibilities of changing clothes wich are an important part of Barbie’s life! Also stiff fabrics completly forbid the possibility to twirl and parade! She can’t attract a mate without dancing in a proper attire! IT IS CRUEL! I don’t care if you want something cheap!
This is how a happy and healthy Barbie Princess should looks like!
When I was young, Barbies like that were pretty much the norm, it’s sad how nowaday people only think of profit!
