Like another comment said, sometimes you can just sense it, but often enough they will just tell me. I have heard so many stories, frequently about sexual assault by a family member, from someone I had just met or barely knew.

Rolder@reddthat.com 6 months agoI’m picturing you going on a first date and just casually asking something like “So, childhood abuse yes or no?”

I have a similar thing. People just open up to me, but my parents aren’t abusive. The worst punishment they gave us was to write a research paper on why what we had done was wrong.

Often times, you don’t need to ask. You can just tell.
