hi guys! this is the most graphic story I've written about sexual abuse, though still not terribly graphic. there are a few sentences that are fairly disturbing as I wanted to really convey the memory of the pain that the victim was feeling in realistic detail - A.K.A. my own experiences. It made me a little uncomfortable reading over it but I guess there's no actual sex scenes? I'm not sure how to explain how graphic it is, but if you've read my other fics on the topic, this is probably just like one step above it, and I'm not overly graphic in my other fics imo but everyone has different triggers. There's also a couple of semi-graphic sentences referencing self harm, blood and the like, some thoughts that could be viewed as suicidal, one short scene heavily featuring disordered eating, and just overall a lot of stress and angst. A hopeful if not happy ending tho because that's what we live for :P

I know this sounds silly, but the past is written in present tense and the present is in past. I would be greatly surprised if there are no editing errors so I apologize for them!
