Jennifer Davis
Counselor
Jennifer was nineteen when her older brother told her he was ABDL. He was twenty four and she was the only person he had ever said it to.
It went badly with the rest of the family. Not violently, which she says people always assume, but coldly, which she thinks was worse. He was not thrown out. He was simply spoken to differently from that week onward, for years, in a way nobody would admit to.
She chose him. She was nineteen and it cost her a good deal to do it, and she would do it again tomorrow. He is forty nine now, he is married, and the two of them talk most weeks.
That is the whole reason she does this work. She has seen from the inside what a family can do to somebody without ever raising its voice, and she has also seen that one person refusing to go along with it can be enough to keep somebody standing.
Twenty two years in, she is the person here for anyone dealing with family, whether that is a disclosure ahead of them, a discovery already behind them, or years of quiet coldness they have never named out loud.
What it is like to talk to Jennifer
Jennifer is direct about family. She will not tell you that your relatives will come round, because she watched hers not come round. What she will do is help you work out who in your life is actually safe, which is usually a shorter and different list than people expect.
She is very good with people who have been found out rather than having chosen to tell. That is a different injury and she treats it as one.
She also talks a lot about the person who did believe you. Almost everybody has one, and in her experience people badly underuse them.
In Jennifer’s own words
My brother told me in a car park because he thought I would need to be able to leave. That has never left me. He gave me an exit before he said a word.
What I saw afterwards was not rage. It was temperature. My family simply became a few degrees colder toward him and stayed there for years, and every one of them would tell you to this day that nothing happened.
So when somebody describes that to me on the phone, I do not need it explained. I know what it is to watch a household quietly decide somebody is now slightly less of a person.
The thing I get from this work is the reverse of what I watched. Somebody says the sentence, and instead of the temperature dropping, it does not. And I can hear them checking, waiting for it. I like being the one who does not go cold. I have been on the other end of the one who did.
Jennifer, on what this work gives back
Things people have said to Jennifer
These are the kinds of sentences that open calls here. If one of them sounds like something you have thought, you are in ordinary company, and Jennifer has answered it many times before.
- My mother found my things and we have never spoken about it since.
- They did not shout. They just started treating me differently and never stopped.
- My sister is the only one who knows and I am terrified of losing her.
- I got outed by a family member and I have not seen most of them in four years.
- Everyone is polite at Christmas and I can feel it under the table.
- How do I go back to being normal around them?
