You are not alone. Please hold on. Sometimes the worst damage comes not from your abuser, but from those who are supposed to be supporting you. You are not alone. Please hold on.

You are NOT a bad or defective or failed person. Please get the help you need and DESERVE to heal these scars...it can be done..it takes time..it is a process.... First you learn how to survive with all of the pain - you are doing that now...secondly you learn how to comfort yourself and work without overwhelming yourself....finally you unpack the memories one at a time and drain their power, so that they do not hurt anymore.... altho it happens more as a spiral than as a 1-2-3 line...but YOU can do it, and you DESERVE to feel better....and someday even happy! will keep you in my thoughts.

You're simply dealing with the aftermath of a horrible situation. With where you are, and what you're dealing with, writing and submitting this was a HUGE step, and I'd like to think it's an indication that as much as you might think you want to die, there's a part of you that wants nothing more than to live a healthy, whole, HAPPY life. Keep reaching out, keep seeking help. You deserve to be happy. Honey, there is nothing wrong with YOU. You’re simply dealing with the aftermath of a horrible situation.

What happened to you was terrible, and it is no surprise the scars still have not healed and cause you pain. I hope you find what it takes to hang in there. Wishing you much love and peace.
