Abuse

Hi, my name is Bianca8. I'm here because I've been abuse throughout my childhood and I want to release that trauma and empower myself back.

I called dcf on my parents because my mom told me to kill myself and my dad told me he doesn’t want to keep me. Domestic violence happened in the family. My dad told me the mental hospital is my home and my sister told my mom to lock up in the mental hospital and to feed me pills. They all should be in jail for abuse. My dad cursed me out so nasty in the past

Hello. About 24hrs ago, I commented an extremely private memory on a tiktok post. I'm not sure why I did it. I was going to delete it but decided to leave it. Today I woke up feeling a little lighter. I thought maybe if I just put everything out there. It won't hurt as much. It won't continue to eat me alive. Truth is, I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse. At the hands of my mother. I'm embarrassed to say that this went on until adulthood but here I am, many years later. Trying to figure it all out. The comment that I left on this tiktok post went as follows: My mom told me to go kill myself. I tried but didn't succeed. I still have many days where I wish I had. Idc if nobody sees this. I think the darkness is leaving me, little by little.

This is one of the most difficult moments in the life of a childhood sexual abuse survivor. When you receive a letter from your abuser, requesting that you reach out. How do you respond, if you respond at all?

I wrote a letter, rewrote it, and translated it into the language he would understand. It's been three months since he wrote to me, after seven and a half years of silence. Seven and a half years ago, I wrote him a letter, a very vulnerable and not very well thought-out letter.

I wish the letter I received back were honest, open, apologetic, and acknowledging, however, I realize that it's not logical to receive an authentic and open letter from someone who made it his business to abuse and confuse me during my childhood and also in my adult life. It just shows more repression and suppression, he's still hoping that what he did will never come to the surface.

I am considering sending him the letter I wrote, however, I am also considering creating an open letter to the public, for all to see what I am going through and what happened to me. After decades of silence, I feel compelled to shout it off the rooftop and to include everyone so that I no longer have to feel like I am standing alone.

I think that survivors of childhood sexual abuse desperately need support and community, people who understand, support, and are empathetic towards what we go through. I don't think it is fair that we have to do this alone.

What do you think? Looking for honest and real thoughts, and hoping to find others like myself.

Thank you.

Hi, my name is secardinal. I'm here because I’m interested in finding coping strategies for dealing with long term severe childhood sexual abuse by a wealthy family member who got away with it and the ensuing isolation shame and retraumatizing that can occur when it seems like my family refuses to acknowledge it even happened. How it was normalized in our house for so long and trying to develop new friendships as an adult in what seems like a severely judge mental world. I seek to find functional positive enlightening dialogue. Thank you!

​I can now at age 48 remember images and sounds that I saw and heard when I was 9 months old. But I have always been completely aware of 3 ongoing colorful nightmares I had over those 48 years. With self-reflection and therapy, all of those images, sounds, and the ongoing nightmares tied back to specific instances of abuse in my childhood.
