As a result from my childhood sexual abuse, mental abuse, verbal abuse, and neglect, I've attempted suicide on several occasions, been in and out of mental hospitals, still self- mutilate, have an EXTREMELY hard time trusting men, have had deep drug dependencies, and the sexual side of everything is far more screwed up than I care to explain. But all in all, I get better each and everyday by allowing myself to heal from what my abusers never wanted me to heal from. It's sooo hard still, but I get by a little easier each and every day. You will too.
