I'm really struggling right now. I don't know where I fit in anymore. I was severely abused as a child, and have had abusive relationships in the past. Every time I say something, I get a backlash for it, even by a close friend who I thought I could trust. I feel so out of place and out of touch. They say talking about it helps, but when you continually get punished for it, you learn to keep the silence. I can't say who I told, but they should have known better. So I'm giving up. I have to talk to this person tomorrow, and I don't know if I should tell them how much I'm hurting or not. Where do I fit in? Where is a safe place, because right now I just don't know. I don't know where I belong. I don't even know if Im welcome here.

Blueangel you are welcome here. We are here to support each other.
Do you see a Therapist, I will advise you to journal, talk here or a Therapist about it.
Your friend may have her own problems to deal with or feel too sensitive to talk about it.
I know I can listen times to times but don't like constant moaning. When I go out with a friend we have serious conversations but I like to joke and laugh, I don't want people to make me feel that I am responsible for our they feel.
I had a friend who would all the time complained about the same thing, no matter how much you would listen or advice he wanted to stay in the self pity mode and it was draining so I had to cut him off.
If you are like that think about it.

It was my therapist

Your therapist shouldn't be punishing you for talking about it. Possibly, without knowing what was said, your therapist said something that you took negative and felt punished but if able try to clarify with your therapist if you feel negative about anything they say. If you're not happy about them, tell them. If they did mean to punish you then get another therapist if you can.
