I Am a Child Abuse Survivor

Every experience is so unique. Discussions can be difficult to start. When we open up, though, beautiful things can happen.
I'm lucky. I was mostly mentally and emotionally affected. The physical was spanking with belts. I was a lucky one.
More often than not, those who have experienced life as a child have been abused. Something we don't always realize or consider. So many people, innocents, so much pain...
You could start a support group here. You know?

@canusernamebemyusername That's a good idea. I used to get agitated having to go over so many details over and over to every new one
@littleblackbird Me too. I have a long medical history and got so tired of having to go over it with every new person.
KayraJordyn · F
I did this for medical history as well. Saved me sooo much time and anxt, explaining to each new doc, specialist, whatever, and instead let us use our appointment time for more valuable matters. @littleblackbird
You have to kill your abuser in order to achieve closure.

@lorelei Hardly lol
What do you do there all day?
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@lorelei Oh the usual. Howl at the moon with the rednecks and chase horses all day lol

I don’t even know what to say. Be strong. Be you. Be loving to those around you. Hate only harms you further. Communicate with your guy as to what triggers something. He may not understand, but I’m sure he cares and he needs to know what you’re going through
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@JavaJoe It just bothers me because I know he doesn't know what to do or say and I hate when he feels like hes helpless for that
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@littleblackbird I get that. For you, and also for his feelings of frustration. But if you think about it, your abuse becomes his abuse, and he has to process things as well! Best wishes to you! 🤗

I would hope you would seek and find qualified professional counseling to help you find some coping mechanisms that work for you. I wish you the best in your quest for peace in your heart and mind.

You detailed the issues very well. Many try to help and suggest ways to “fix” the problem. But there isn’t a fix. One just has to “heal”, sometimes with help, sometimes on their own terms. But it’s almost impossible for someone that hasn’t experienced it to understand and not get angry, or feel helpless.
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@Livingwell Yeah and just after watching people be helpless in how to help I feel bad for talking about it now. Till it burst like this
Livingwell · 61-69, M
@littleblackbird Anyone that cares or loves you sees it as a small price to pay for your happiness. Over time, they too will understand. It’s like a man trying to always fix a woman’s problems when all she wants is for him to listen, to vent. Nothing else. 😊
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@Livingwell Yeah kind of exactly. My bf feels like there's always something he should do when we talk about it
ExperienceDLT · M
I am sorry that happened to you you did not deserve it
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@ExperienceDLT No one ever does. Thank you

It’s a clusterfck of emotions & issues. Support is big I’ve still only talked about my experience with a few select people & only one in any detail. The shame associated with it can create a feeling of isolation. I sincerely wish you peace & healing.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit aw! your so nice . girls need to stick together. And kill these kind of ppl.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
@Mrsbetweenfatandfit *hugs!*
Shawnkautzman1 · 51-55, M
@littleblackbird hugs 🤗
Did you mean that your bf beats himself up about it and that is what you don't understand why? Or the fact that it happened and you don't know why?
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@canusernamebemyusername thank you. it's odd to bring up. like it's something forbidden because in my head it kind of is
@littleblackbird It is forbidden to do. Not forbidden to talk about. Just remember that. I have heard some horrible experiences so I can't be scared off. Unless someone is just a horrible person. But that is based on personality not a person's experience.
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@canusernamebemyusername It just feels like we aren't meant to talk about it necause it makes people so uncomfortable
Shawnkautzman1 · 51-55, M
Anybody who did this too you needs to die suffering. Or be shot.
Shawnkautzman1 · 51-55, M
@littleblackbird I'm sorry it just wrong .
littleblackbird · 22-25, F
@Shawnkautzman1 It is, was. I just rack my mind over it too much sometimes
Shawnkautzman1 · 51-55, M
@littleblackbird i feel bad about it . That's not wrong.
