Trying to argue with conservatives.

All that they're great at is detouring, distancing, playing down, doubling-tripling down, disassociating, strawmen and more illogical fallacies. They can't take up an honest debate unless there are rules in place that gives them any outs from being pressed when confronted with questions they can't give truthful answers to.

Trying to fight the "ghosts" of my past. These ghosts that haunts me and give me depression and CPTSD.

I sometimes just revisit happy memories and just try to keep that image of the loving mother in my head, and try to ignore the bad things. Using good memoires to hide away the trauma, to cover up the darkest memories.

Doesn't work well. No matter how much I try to remember the happiness... the moments of me crying, being scared, inside what's supposed to be my own home, supposed to be a safe space, yet those memoies keep coming back, seeping in to my head as I daydream and fantasize in nostalgia... of just being a normal kid and loved by parents... and not have a hostile older brother always fighting with me...

this "battle" still ongoing... :/
