• How important is “proof”?

    Like how do I “prove” my story?

    Do they just get a private investigator to investigate me?

    How about like sibling abuse? How am I supposed to prove that? Like it happens at home and there are no witnesses besides… well us… it’s a “he said she said” situation.

    What about like events in another country that was born in and lived in for a bit of my early childhood.

    Like…

    Damn I feel like I’m gonna have to self-publish it and them nobody is gonna believe me…

    Oh well…

    I guess I’ll just have to feel like many of those victims that nobody ever believes…
