One thing that I am struggling with is that when you finally have the courage to speak of what happened to you, some people will think you are over exaggerating or they don't believe you. This is so unbelievably hurtful because why would someone make up such horror that happened to them.
For me I think part of my telling is part of my recovery, I was threatened with death as a child if I told, so now that I am an adult, I feel I need to tell.
I was in a group once and some thought I was only telling to make what happened to me seem worse than what happened to others. This is so hurtful, because I don't feel that way, what did happen to me was really bad, but in no way am I saying that my abuse was worse than others. It is just hurtful and I am beginning to believe my story is best left for my T to help me with, and not with the public. Does anyone else have this problem?
