NO!!!!!
Do not
EVER doubt yourself or minimize the torture you experienced. I'm sure it was much much worse than you've shared so far.

Your mind wants to protect you from the pain by denying.
What happened was real & horrible & should never have happened.
But you found us & we love you.

Now it's your job to heal from the inside out
& everyone here will help.
Remember friends are the family you get to pick!

So learn how to pick the good ones
cause you deserve the BEST!
