I Am a Child Abuse Survivor

If you want to fight back when people tell you that you're worthless, then the trick is to learn to know yourself. If you don't know who you are, then you can't really fight their ugly views of you, not with any real strength, because you keep wondering if maybe they might be right.

i have the same problem too. my mother kept on mentally and physically abused me. i was grabbed at the throat by a classmate 20 yrs ago, couldn't breathe and was almost choked to death but i did nothing to stop her or told the teacher or anyone. later when i worked my colleagues kept on verbally abused me criticizing my appearance and everything i did eventually verbally sexually harassed me and i did nothing. i thought i was wrong for my whole life and tried to change myself to adapt thinking it was good to improve myself. i was wrong, and i hate my mother for life for teaching me it was right and justified for people to abuse me.
