<font color="green">I can so relate to this, I am over 50 and have had to deal with stuff from when I was less than 2 years old until I was in my middle teens. However, even the abuse from later years has no real evidence or so I feel at times. Bruises are long healed and semen long ago washed away. My abusers were smart; there are no other witnesses.
So how can I have any confidence that what I remember is real? I have to look at my life, how I feel, act and how I have been effected by what I recall. How I recalled the abuse and how hard I fought to make it not true. Finally, I can look at how dealing with it in therapy has changed things. I have not arrived but I am not the victim I used to be. I am stronger, surer of whom and what I am and I have learned many skills to deal with my issues.
Trust the process and yourself.</font>
