I also learned as a child that I was the one that was bad,the one to blame for all the SA I went through.And as an adult I too had some people tell me the same thing.

Finding out not all people condemn me has made a huge difference,also that people are on my side.

I know that my childhood made me who I am today and it's the reason I have/do struggle.But knowing I am no longer that child has been empowering.

I'm sorry your childhood was rough too.
