Trista Mateer
“Your abuser's past does not absolve them of their abuse. Their depression does not absolve them of their abuse. Your relationship with them does not absolve them of their abuse. How long you've known them does not absolve them of their abuse. Your love for them does not absolve them of their abuse.”
― Trista Mateer, Aphrodite Made Me Do It
tags: abuse

“love has little to do with blood relations and more to do with who you choose to bleed for”
― Trista Mateer, Aphrodite Made Me Do It

“I feel less and less up to the requirements of my life,”
― Daphne Merkin, This Close to Happy: A Reckoning with Depression

“I wanted to taste the salt on your skin, to press my mouth against the violent curve of you.”
― Trista Mateer, The Dogs I Have Kissed
tags: poetry

“Then there is also this: How do you give up something that’s nestled in your marrow, this particular taste in loving, one that is crisscrossed with hate, with specks of long-ago humiliations endured but never forgotten? What I’m referring to is an appetite for a certain degree of debasement, being reduced to a panting, abject creature in the name of sexual pleasure. The fine-tuning of relative power that naturally obtains between couples pitched way up into the insistent blare of one who dominates and one who submits.”
― Daphne Merkin, 22 Minutes of Unconditional Love
