realization
I am just realizing that it is coming up on the ten-year mark from when the abuse stopped. It is messing with me a little, as I don't normally talk about it, and I am now trying to heal from everything to me. I feel like some of it is my fault as I never told anyone what was going on, and it went on for three years. I know that it is NOT my fault. It just feels it at times. I wish I had people that I could talk to about it. I just have not felt ready to open up to anyone. At times, it feels like I am going through all of this alone.

Hey Pumkineyes,
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry that you feel so alone with it. It is difficult to talk about abuse and it's okay that it takes you a while. Also, it's okay to sometimes feel like it's your fault - we can't control our feelings - the important thing is that you know that it's not true.
If you would like to talk about it in a group of understanding people, we do have a few weekly support groups about trauma. You can find the schedule here.
Take care,
