I told him about the abuse I suffered as a kid. I said I wouldn't and I did. I have mixed feelings right now about it.
Relief, I finally told someone other than here. Finally someone knows about what happened. Guilt, I feel like I betrayed my parents. Like I stabbed them in the back or something. Fear, that somehow they'll find out I said this and they'll.....I don't know. I'm just scared. Is this normal at all? My anxiety's up pretty high right now so I can sort through this logically. __________________ "Give him his freedom and he'll remember his humanity." |

I am seeing a therapist for the first time this week... I'm nervous I'll do the same. I am hoping it doesn't make me feel more miserable...

These mixed feelings are completely normal. Your whole life, you've believed that if you acted like everything was okay you could still have a "normal" life (whatever that is). Now you've said out loud that everything wasn't okay. That is how I felt, anyway. Like I was giving up on the hope of being "normal."

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
