May Trigger







I decided I needed to sit down for a bit here . I've been working to get dinner done for tonight when my inlaws come over.. And I thought I would read the paper real quick. Why? Why did I do that???? Inside the first page was a picture of one of the guys that raped me. The anniversary of his death is coming up this week and his family put in a memorium of him. How wonderful he was and how much he is missed. Little do they know the monster he was to rape a ten yr old girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Along with my brother and two other teen boys!!!!!!!!! I cannot ever see how he could have changed that much!!!!!!! I cant even see it in my brother that much!!!!!!!! I was trying so hard to stay happy and positive for tonight and this blew it all to pieces. Ijust dont know if I can make it thru dinner with out crying now. Do I just excuse myself if this happens? I dont want to sit there with them and explain it all. Why did I have to look???? Why did I have to look???? Why did I have to look???? Why did I have to look????

I am SORRY that you are hurting again, but please know that we are some times triggered so that we may heal a little more.... take advantage of the moment and release a little bit of what is still unhealed.

We are all here for YOU........................... Why did I have to look????

LoVe,

((((Tryin2bme))) - I am so sorry you had to confront the source of so much pain. Especially right before having family over.

I hope you were able to get through the evening ok.

Crying isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long.

That must be very painful. ((((huggs))))

Maybe get that article memorial and tear it up into little bitty pieces and flush it down the toilet (with other waste material) for a more appropriate memorial to him?
