You're not alone, Rebecca. I'm sorry that you suffered any abuses...that any child does.

My therapist and I have actually talked about this...why incidence can be more than the "average" person with an abused child. I was angry and asked if I'd worn a sign or something...angry and wanting to know "how" and "why".

My therapist said that the "sign" that might have been known to those that would abuse was my lack of reaction and shock. It made sense to me. Some children who are seriously abused don't shock easily and can "learn" not to react as it could make things worse for them.

You are not alone in many areas. Are you in therapy, or have you considered it? It's helped me understand things for myself so much better.

I wish you the best and hope to read more from you soon. It was very brave of you to post.
