I think possibly what you are doing is hanging onto the idea that you deserve this misery, and don't deserve healing, because then you would have to face the grief and pain and vast unfairness of realising that your abuse was wrong. The way you're thinking now keeps the grief at arm's length, and prevents you grieving for yourself.

I am so sorry that you are in this loop at the minute.

Exactly this! I find it hard to believe that I am a worthwhile person and that things which happened to me and how I was treated as a child, is NOT my fault, the same as it is NOT yours.
