It's KILLING from the inside. So much to deal with in so many ways. Angry at everything and everybody. My heart is tearing apart, leaving me broken inside. No one understands! Constantly fighting the images.
"I never wanted this to happen. All I wanted was a parental relationship, but what was dealt to me was the opposite. How can they allow these feelings and thoughts to overrule the place held in my life? Trust is shattered, respect is burnt, love has turned to hate. How could you touch me? Why couldn't I fight back? Is that all I'm worth, sex to others? No one loves me or understands why I act the way I do. I can't take it anymore, I'll just end it all." ~Anonymous

ReplyDeleteWOW...you put SEX and WANTING in all caps...which means these are important and serious to you. I totally understand and hear you! Individuals who have been abused do have a desire for the opposite of who abused them, some want the same sex of the abuser. People tend to use different mechanisms for traumatic experiences. My question: Are you a female or a male? In any case, it would be the same issue...so
DeleteLets deal with the abuse! It's going to take some honesty, time, patience, tears, anger and a lot to deal with what happened. Nothing that you can say during this process is right or wrong, it is all what you are feeling and dealing with at this moment that matters. You have to deal with what you feel in order to know where you are. No one is hear to judge you or make you feel bad about what has happened. We are here to help you and that is all that matters at this point.

Well thanks for your help and support and finally i can express whats in my heart, what im dealing with without being judged and abused even more by my truth. *tears* u have no idea how much this means to me and what its doin for my state of mind and my heart.
