Your reaction was my first reaction as well, but slightly different because to me it was as though the pic was taken by an abusive adult about to swing down on a young child.
That's not in the pic either, but I take my baggage with me wherever I go, lol.
No harm done either way. In my opinion what we're seeing in pictures like these is exactly what we need to see in order to heal ourselves, little reminders of work yet to be done and memories still in need of attention. And you're already self-aware enough to know that you're not approaching it neutrally, so you've already started the work. You're golden.
So I'm saying I'm glad you posted, because even though you managed to provoke some downvotes, there is a cosmic fuckton of unaddressed domestic violence and abuse that colors our society and permeates every little corner of daily living that we would all do well to address. This pic is triggering as fuck for people who have had to live under that, whether it be physical abuse, or the unseen but worse emotional/intellectual abuse that this woman say motivated her ex to take and send this picture. It's all one and the same.
Thus it's not what's wrong in you that reacted to this pic the way you did, it's what's already RIGHT in you that so forcefully showed you what was skewed in it. You have a conscience and a caring heart and a willingness to pipe up and say this isn't right. We could all do with more of that. Well done, IMO.
I… wow. Thank you.
