Revictimisation

I know. And that's ok, tears are good. It means you are feeling; you haven't shut down. Call a hotline if you want to talk immediately, Write if you don't want to talk, draw and scribble, listen to music, yell. Whatever it is, whatever you feel you need. It took me years to finally talk so I'm so happy for you. And there's lot of us around to help you.

feel free to PM me if you want to talk, sometimes it can be a bit much posting everything in public

I was revictimized over and over and over again, after my aunt abused me.

For 40 odd years, I thought there was something about me that made ppl do that.

It was not.

My aunt left a mark on me; a feeling of feeling like a bad, dirty person.

But I wasn't, and I did not know that for a long time.

Abusers leave a mark on us.

And ppl take advantage of that.

But it is not our fault.

It's the abusers' and the revictimizers' faults.

NOT OURS.

I empathize.

I hope for your healing.

You and me both!

i like the way you put that, having a mark left on us. I always felt like i was the blood the sharks smell. but your way is a little easier to handle

I was 19 when I was abused by my religous boss I could never get it out until now. IM 50. Keep getting help Fairy you are brave to do it and it shows that you will be able to keep asking for help, dont leave it for too long. Thinking of you. Thanks for the different view also billi leli. Cheers.

Hi fairy! Was wondering how everything was going with you- haven't seen a post from you here in almost a week! Hope you are all ok, you've got our thoughts and love coming your way!!
