Children have a fundamental need to believe their parents will keep them safe. Children are hardwired to know that they are too vulnerable to protect themselves from the dangers of the world and they’re also hardwired to believe that their parents are going to protect them, no matter what. Therefore, when a parent is abusive, the child resorts to believing that is it not abuse, but warranted behavior for their inability to be a good child. Basically, for a child, it is safer to believe they are a bad child than it is for them to believe that their parent is harming them. This is an amazing coping technique that gets many children through horrifying childhoods, however as an adult, it creates severe problems. Therefore, to have happy adulthoods, we must come to terms with the fact that we were abused. This is incredibly difficult work, but for those survivors who can manage it, a much better life is in store. Other effects of abuse include: ● difficulty with love or trust ● poor self-image ● permanent physical disability ● anti-social/violent behavior ● death - suicide or homicide ● drug and/or alcohol abuse ● troubled relationships ● depression ● anxiety ● eating or sleep disorders ● caring or loving too much, which is co-dependency ● withdrawal ● self-destructive behavior

I had and still have elaborate stories in my head that are an escape from everything im surounded by. A lot of time they do include elementa of trauma that work out with me saving the day or being saved. I zone out into them offten. The characters become my friends, parents, or heros.

The bad guys varry from sterotypes from the stories or much closer to home analogs.

I see a lot of artists doing the “old art vs new art” thing. The way I draw hasn’t changed in years. But! My style has evolved and my understanding of basic concepts has improved.
