I'm in my forties, and a few months ago I had a really traumatic experience and almost immediately after, an unexpected encounter with my childhood abuser. That is, someone that I suddenly realized was my abuser during this relatively brief encounter. I mean, I can see now that I really always knew it but just...I guess ignored it! By drinking, using and living in a total world of my own making. I can't believe how this is happening it's got me so crazy! Is this anyone else's experience? Please help me any advice or anything . I feel so sad and so very very angry it scares me.

A lot of people don't remember their abuse till well into adulthood. You aren't stupid or crazy, and you have every right to be angry.

Hi and welcome to pc...
I am 43 and suffered childhood abuse from 8-15 sexual abuse that is...emotional abuse from 2/3.... I sometimes feel my whole life has been a lie because I've lived through a 'mask' until now when a bad bout of anxiety and depression made me seek proper help from a qualified therapist....I was abused by a pdoc my mum was having an affair with.... The only thing I can say is try to get some help, journal, reach out here and dont be ashamed of feel in any way guilty.... It will take a long time to learn how to live with waht happened to me but I am learning to cope slowly although there are still many triggers and dreams along the way... pm me anytime if you need to talk....jinnyann xxxx |

i just realized last year that one of my cousins sexually abused me when i was younger. i guess i repressed it my whole life and then one night i was kind of spilling my soul out to my boyfriend and when i was in this rampage i just kind of saw it happening and remembered. there is a reason we repress those things, because they hurt us. i think that the fact that youre allowing yourself to feel those emotions is good. that means you can start to healing process instead of repressing even more. and no youre no stupid or crazy! well maybe a little crazy but thats the point of this website lol were ALL a little crazy
