I have just started a blog about my life--about sexual, emotional and physical abuse and recovery. Previously I was in another online support group and I posted a lot about my abuse. I think I have accepted it enough and healed enough that I am ready to speak out. I feel compelled to share my story. Let people know this does happen and pretending it does not happen is not going to make it go away. I was a little nervous at first, but I have made a couple entries and it feels so good--like a weight is being lifted off my shoulders. Years ago I sat in my T's office and could not even hardly mumble the words abuse or rape or name my abusers....I have come a long way. I wish my T. was alive to see me now--she died of cancer--she would be so proud of me. Bless her for helping me heal. At times like this I really miss her.
