How does ONE not become Effected?

This thought is often in my mind and I really do not know how to let go - to NOT let my past, the awful truth behind and in my abuse effect me any longer.... How does one continue on in LIFE when the memories of the h*ll you lived through (11 long years) haunts you in ever other TV Show, Magazine, Internet, Marriage, Daily Living and in their Eyes (the sick wanting eyes)?
