I think that if you feel the need to say it verbally, then maybe you could try sitting with yourself and saying it. I think there has to be a certain level of comfort within yourself in order to wrap your head around it.
I know for me, I had never said it and when I did finally get to that point, I had to be completely alone, away from distractions and people.
It was weird for me. Just in general, in my body and in myself, I felt weird. I have since gotten better at conveying it. But at first I really struggled.
It's not fair. People who are supposed to love and protect you aren't supposed to hurt you. And it's not fair that victims are left to clean up a mess that they didn't create.
