I was abused sexually, physically, and emotionally when I was 4. I was raped when I was 14.

I was damn near 30 years old when I finally told someone out loud what actually happened. It wasn't until almost a year later that I completely broke down because of it. I cried it out for what seemed like forever.

Since then, it's been a process of recognizing that my psyche never really grew up properly, and now it's having to. It will be painful, but with a good therapist (and a good one will push you, but not so hard that it traumatizes you), talking about it can help take the sting out of the memory, and also help keep it from surprising you.

No one should have to go through this. I am sorry that you had to. I hope that you do what you need to do to get better.
