Comment from : @GermanJudeaLatteZaina

I was the "bad kid" I told my mother every step of the way what my stepfather was doing My grandparents pulled her aside to talk to her about it My grandparents pulled me out of my home TWICE to take care of me They banned my stepfather from their house, even though they ran all of the holiday dinnersbrbrTwo years after I was out of state, it happened to my brother The good kid My mother believed him immediately and filed for divorce the next daybrbrShe swears she didnt know it was happening to me She still cannot admit that she discounted it because she also thiught I was the bad kid She still cannot admit that she thought my reactions to it were the reason she didnt trust mebrbrI joined the military to get away I joined the military to KNOW that I could handle my step fatherbrbrI am not healed And I will not be healed until I get to see his funeral Until I can see which family members understand me publicly urinating on his grave, and which family members will have yet another excuse to say I'm overreacting

Comment from : @levelzanimations

A lot of people are missing the point of these public conferences It is not easy These are not private You can claim decency all you want, but you have to fight fire with fire if you want to expose perverts for abusing children There is no excuse for keeping secrets or appeasing the authorities
Comment from : @zayneharbison

I was born into a death cult and I'm still being abused to this day by the same cult Who do you call when your whole community is run by a satanic death cult?

Comment from : @steflop92

Everything she's saying is true I'm broken The people I told said to get over it, or they didn't believe me, or just tried to brush it off and change the subject I don't trust anyone, and I don't know if I ever will

I'm being emotionally abused x
Comment from : @NykytaDaley

The story is to great People turn of and can't put it all together It seems a self survival thing
Comment from : @letreyus6108

What happens when it's not just one kind of abuse in one period of time in your life? What if it's generational? What if it won't stop and your now 60? Every type of abuse since birth It's believed by all you think would count Who can you go to?
Comment from : @letreyus6108

Thank you

What do you do if your sibling was the abuser? How do you deal with it? How do you forgive?

My girlfriend took their life away days ago because of childhood trauma flashbacksbrI’m broken inside because I didn’t know what they were carryingbrThey told me in the beginning of the relationship that they were having flashbacks but weren’t sure about what it wasbrI didn’t make research enough to know what someone with childhood trauma was going throughbrI tried to bring them out, that we do things together but they were so anxious, afraid of lots of things I use to think that they weren’t seeing me in the relationship brReading their goodbye letter broke my heart I’m so ashamed for not being able to be there for them and give them the words of reassurance they needed brI feel ashamed for complaining about you not wanting to do things that involve socializing babebrbrToday, I’m sitting here crying with my whole soul
Comment from : @Kingshe01

i try to get over my child abuse but it just affects everything :( the guy i like said im not good at communicating… so i started googling why someone may not be good at communicating, of course it says those who endured child abuse may have communication skills that aren’t as good the guy i’m talking to lost his mom last year, so he knows what it’s like to experience trauma but not so much childhood trauma it seems as though as a child these things affects us more mentally
Comment from : @Sunnyxox-

She is incredible ❤️🫶🏽❤️🫶🏽
Comment from : @Fooddiary36

Thank you I told my mom and she was dismissive telling me I was vindictive if I reported the person who abused me It was messed up
Comment from : @blueheartless36

Wow the Aunt response is not shockingThe abuser/predator is always protected and the victim is ALWAYS made to feel like it was their fault and keep it to yourself smh😢

i expect lots of kids have suffered this but it dosent make you traumatised everything nowadays has to be analyzed and made into a drama
Comment from : @gillchambers9008

The stigma is so real! I have a harder time opening up and connecting after hearing so many people say to give up on victims of abuse preemptively because of their background, which is something they can’t controlbrbrIf it was their current behavior that was unhealthy, I’d understand setting boundaries but to completely dismiss people because of that one thing they couldn’t control growing up is baffling to me
Comment from : @stargazerwishes

wow this was 7 years ago and she mentioned online predators such an important thing that a lot of people miss even today
Comment from : @Tara-cv2kz

When you are a abused child As soon as you turn 18 most of society shun and turn on you Some people can be easily helped if people show care qnd concern Instead told not to talk about what happened to you You're so and so years old learn how to forgive and forget!
Comment from : @Prettyboyred336

I don’t mean to downplay everyone’s abuse but it took me suffering severe trauma in my 40s and it’s been the greatest gift! It made me realize how serious life is!!

Comment from : @tamlamoore7962

I know something happened to me I can't remember I know my mother knows When I asked her what it was she told me sometimes it's better not to remember To me that means she knows what I don't It's been a few years since I asked and I know she will never tell me But I will remember who it was that she isn't saying eventually I haven't been able to get help professionally yet unfortunately A part of me is dying to remember because I feel it's unfair to carry so much shame for something I can't even remember and clearly wasn't my fault But I know it's better to remember when I have help and support too which I don't have But I just can't deal with not knowing even though they will be painful and difficult memories to relive some day Does anyone have advice on how to cope with not knowing until you rememeber? And how to get through reliving it once the picture is clear and you do remember?

I am just beginning this journey I’ve been battling drug addiction for the past 10 years or so which started when I was around 28 yo Without having known about or properly addressed my abusive childhood I think I’ve been trying to get sober in ways that were never going to work
