Abuse is not love. Mental illness is never a license to abuse children. Intentions don't negate child abuse. #ItsNotJUSTClutter

Love does not prevent child abuse. Neither do good intentions. Naming isn't blaming. Nobody can heal what they can't see. #ItsNotJUSTClutter

DYK? 16% of children exposed to trauma will develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) & also A) trauma is ongoing B) we're at higher risk of developing PTSD later C) experience many effects of trauma without developing the full blown disorder. #ItsNotJUSTClutter

Stop expecting traumatized children & survivors to do all the work. Healthy relationships are reciprocal. Show some compassion for hoarded children buried alive by our parents. #ItsNotJUSTClutter

Focus on behavior. Intentions don't negate child abuse. Time for the hoarding industry to stop defending child abuse & expecting support from survivors. #ItsNotJUSTClutter

Parents who bury children alive are not safe. Actions define child abuse, not intentions. Stop misdirecting us to help hoarders. #ItsNotJUSTClutter
