Thank you for your common-sense views on healing. Here’s the thing I’ve noticed in the many decades since this all happened. I go up and then I go back down again. I’d like to think each time that I don’t fall as far down as the previous and that each ascent is higher and more long-lasting that the ones behind me. I’ve accepted the ups and downs. I have faith that a hill is right around the bend. The hard part is getting anyone close to me to understand and accept the roller coaster that is my emotional life. Triggers are tricky things and never what you think they should be. A news report of a child molester will bother me a lot less than watching a loving father dote on his baby girl. That alone will unravel me for days at a time.

I think a lot of people get stuck in the victim mentality. I know I did for a while, when people tell you there is light at the end of the tunnel all you see is a train coming. It took a survivor taking the time to admit they were a survivor and that with time, “work”, and a change of mental attitude you can overcome your past. It saddens me that so many allow the past to define them as a person and define their future. I wish I could reach out to every victim and tell them life can get better. It can be great!

Gosh, I’m a female survivor, but this was really what I needed to read right now. I’m right near the beginning of my healing journey, and it does often feel hopeless. You’ve given me strength today. Thank you ?

Agreed, male survivors are more likely to turn to violence, crime and basically anything that blocks out the pain of their past. It’s such a shame society are so unaware of the true detrimental effects of child abuse.

Healing IS possible. For me, 23 years of emotional abuse (10 years of that being physical abuse) take TIME. The cocktail process to healing for everyone is different but mostly involves therapy, self-awareness, hard work, trial and error, patience, and time.

You WILL succeed.
