Feelings

If your abusers were your parents, and you know what you feel and were able to say it to them what would it be?

You must have mixed emotions...after all, your parents are the ones you're supposed to go to, to trust, to protect you from the very thing THEY did to YOU.....................

Ultimately, you know what YOU want to, need to, say to them, the part of the abuse that most hurt you, and why, the way the abuse occurred, the apathy, anger, misunderstanding, or whatever the reaction from THEM was..

..............................................................could you write a letter,or an email, or show them this post and say you can relate?

Do you have an aunt or uncle that you are close with, that you can go to for help with this?

A therapist that can control the environment where you talk to your parents about it- you could talk to them about it during a family therapy appointment?

If you're young do you have a school counselor? If you do tell a school counselor they are required by law to report the abuse, just so you know..

How did you happen upon this site, are you thinking of therapy? I am going to be thinking about you and your situation, praying for you, so let me know more, about everything? I care about you as do others here, that's what we're here for..................

My parents are deceased. I am in therapy. This is what my T wants me to journal about this week. He wants me to feel my feelings and express them. I was trying to get others opinions.

i think i can't even feel that stuff yet because my parents are still alive and i am still fearful of him coming after me or killing me.

sometimes i do get really angry - and i did write him an email once (in the middle of an ongoing fight) saying " you know what you did to me, my mom, my pets, friends, his own mom,,." that didn't go over very well, he denied everything.

i think when he dies (if ever) there will be many swear words strung together from the anger that lives deep within me.

good luck on your journal

i think i would say..

I wish you would have loved me. I wanted you to so bad. I'm so angry you didnt. I still wish you would love me though. and yet.. you still cant...we can't make it work. It hurts.
