YES. There is no statute of limitations on abuse, and as soon as you are able to seek help, do so to the fullest degree.

Absolutely. Sometimes it takes time to open up and tell someone what happened. That is a big step and you should be proud to have taken it.

Yes sometimes I remember when my baby passed away. There was so many emotions from everyone and aside from this I had to arrange a funeral. It took me about that long and I woke up after having nightmares. I started having anxiety bad and I had to see a therapist and a dr.

Of course. It’s never too late to become healthy again. Emotional abuse takes a while to heal from, but it can be healed.

For sure! You are allowed to be upset and to do something about it, you‘ve always been allowed to do so since it has started - abuse should not be tolerated and you should get help!

Of course! Sometimes our bodies delay our reactions to keep us safe. This is a very normal thing and don’t feel ashamed about it. You are valid.

Even if it was ten years after it happened, it's still not too late to seek help. Seeking help is not something to be ashamed of and in fact, is one of the beginning steps in the recovery process
