vixen-uchiha:karadin:lotrlocked:aphony-cree:sheinthatfandom:crackinwise: the-real-seebs: luffykun3695: iwilleatyourenglish: wowvantasticbaby: Just so people know, I looked at the source and the sister was in a very bad car accident and these gifts are likely her way of dealing with her trauma. honestly…. the fact that they didn’t include this in the original post fucking sucks.but also… i know these gifts may seem “creepy,” but they’re all really practical (well, aside from the book) and show that she clearly cares about the safety of her loved ones. This makes me wonder how people view trauma. You see a lot assholes online of shitting on “sjws” for being triggered and not having ~real~ PTSD, but things like this make me wonder if people simply have no idea how to recognize PTSD when it’s not people freaking out over a loud noise. … “doesn’t … seem traumatized by it at all” what. the. fuck. how does that not “seem traumatized”. Her way of dealing with trauma is trying to prevent others’ trauma, and regardless, those are mostly useful gifts the average person doesn’t think of getting until it’s too late. High anxiety runs in my family so they gift the same kinda things. Idk how caring about someone is killing the mood. First of all where the fuck can I get that cpr dummy cause holy shit that’s useful. Hell I wanna adopt her cause she deserves a better family and a better sister cause fuck you thats PTSD that’s fucking trauma that’s someone who needs love and care and understanding not you posting on reddit bout wow such a mood killer giving us thoughtful and useful gifts that could SAVE OUR FUCKING LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN!!!!!!!! The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook is a real book that uses humor to teach. You probably wont ever need to diffuse a bomb or win a sword fight (which are in the book) but How to Treat a Leg Fracture and How to Survive an Earthquake are things that could happen on a month long vacation. And if she bought them the Travel edition it has things like How to Survive a Mugging and How to Survive a High Rise Hotel FireAll of these were practical and thoughtful gifts. Even if you never use the book it’d be an entertaining read while stuck on a plane or train I want her to come to my Christmas because I want those gifts We All Need a Sister Safety in our life Your sister rocks -- source link
