There are words and phrases like these that I hate too. Like Incest, I just call it the I-word. And survivor and victim. I dont want to be these words. I dont want any of these words to define me. I feel like I could drown in these words.
Can you guys say (actually speaking, like to a T) what happened in a general way? Like, "I was abused."
Or more specifically, "I was _______________." Fill in the blank: sexually abused, victimized, etc, etc.
I cant say it. I cant even write it in the context of myself. I feel that this might be a pivitol day in my therapy but I cant say it.Li, what a tough post, but it shows your strength. It got me thinking about things I try to forget. We know they are never really forgotten.
