I always thought I would die young. There must be ways of dying young. There are people I’ve known who are strong. Abuse has made them stronger. But abuse has made me more fragile. I have no right to take up any of the resources which should be for those who are strong and deserving. I have been told this by service providers. They are not wrong. I am weak and undeserving. I was born that way, I suppose.

I don't think abuse makes people stronger, I think some people who have been abused perfected the art of pretending they are stronger.
And I think for sure that help is for those who need it, specialy the "weak" ones.

We are strong...

Faced with the torrent of emotion we deal with on a daily basis, we are truly strong. We are still here. We feel week due to the extra effort we have to put into life before doing the things others excel at...

Much love to all

I totally agree a lot of ppl just fake and pride themselves in being “strong”. When really those ppl are putting up a facade and faking.

Those service providers are not right!

I don't think abuse makes you stronger or weaker, it hurts you deeply inside and it is not your fault. Moreover, what does it mean to be weak or strong? are you a better human for being "strong" or more deserving? aren't those "weaker" in need of more help? Don't they deserve it more?

It's hard to live. You are a survivor. That takes a lot of strength. You are worthy of being helped my friend. God bless you.
