You never recover you just learn to cope with it

YOu own it, you face it, you get angry, you scream, you get support and then you get angry again and after a while you will forgive and then your life be good. You will have healded

I was not abused as a child, but I have some experience with abuse. And alcoholism. In a 30-day treatment program, I learned a lot, not least among them: as long as you stay drunk, high, or angry you daily admit the abuser's continuing power over you. Healing begins when you take back that power and is well along when you no longer see the abuser's shadow darkening everything you do.

A good counselor helps, but is rarely easy to find. Commit to test-driving counselors until you find one who speaks to your heart and with whom you feel safe.

If you were physically gravely ill, you would research, doctor-shop and maybe join a support group of people who have literally felt your pain.

This is every bit as important. Take back the reins. Don't let the bastards grind you down any more.

You don't recover, you learn to live with it and move on

I still think about it now and then but you have to put it in your past and move on. And it does help to forgive your abuser. You don't forget entirely but you can't harbor negativity like this. It's good to let go and have peace with it. it's a part of your past but not your future.

By helping others recover from child abuse.

Peace of heart, forgiving yourself, and looking forwards to helping others

you forgive, forget, move on.

You forgive, not just for the person who has to live with that guilt, but for yourself sooo you can move on.

It won’t be easy still but takes time.

Forgiving is a huge challenge.

Forgetting about it ... man what a piss off that is. That just created more anger and defeated attitude to myself and confused me all the more.

Finding someone to talk with about it when You Want and Need to release the tensions and anxieties that build up from time to time.

I find it hard to have my convictions, especially when people in general dismiss me so easily. I get lost with who and what I am. But I keep simply telling myself I am ME! Don't try to be anything other then that, ME! I do not if that is all that good, but least I am not as afraid to speak and share my thoughts, opinions.

Best part I find is to be Positive with myself. Do not get down or negative cuz of what others think or say. I know I am better then anyone who wants to negatively put me down.

Has taken me some 50 years.

Alcoholism!

You get over it and move on.

You don’t.

Drug addiction. Recklessness. Then realisation of having to deal with it years later. Some can some can't. Aweful

a day at a time i suppose. you look to the future while staying in the present.

Drugs

You don't

Fuck up your life so you think about that instead
