In reply to it's out and i feel worse. ****BIG TRIGGER****, posted by B2chica on May 16, 2005, at 11:27:05
Keep safe, please, we care about you. Opening up to the abuse is very painful, and you do have to keep safe so do whatever you have to. We will be here.
I just wanted to add that I interpreted your T's remark about "normal" to mean that many people feel this way once they've opened the wound up, not the extent of your abuse, etc. There's some statistic out there that says once someone discloses the abuse, there is a huge chance (wish I could remember the percentage) that they will not come back to the person they have disclosed to because the shame is too much. Unwarranted shame, I might add, and I deal w/it every day. But it does get better, I promise you.
Let others take care of you now, and I'll be sending warm thoughts your way.
