Survivors - sexually abused? Where are you up to now?

Question

I asked a question of survivors some time ago and someone said keep it on the menu as we are so invisible - I couldn't think of any questions to ask. But just now wondered where we are all up to .

I am now 60 and feeling so much better - all my abusers are dead.

Currently I am looking at relationships that are sucking the energy out of me and where I put in 100 % and get nothing back that I want or need. Realizing thats my choice. The big realisation is that I am not responsible for the whole world Hallelujah! She got it I do believe she got it!

Also wondering about our special skills as survivors and what we do with them.

Answer 1

i dont know what your question is

Answer 2

I have learned not be be a victim!!!  I confronted my abuser years ago.  Of course he denied it, but I told him how I felt and I no longer felt weak.  I found the strength to move on.

Since I became an adult, I decided never to allow anyone to use me, unless I had a personal gain from it.  I never let that type close enough to control me or harm me in any way. I only allow myself to care for those that treat me with respect.  

Answer 3

i was sexually abused as a kid. im 18 now, i live with one of them (brother) till i get this job and move out. hopefully monday! and my cousin, the other abuser, just got out of the penitentry for sexual molestation against another kid. i dont see him as much. but yeah, it had me develop severe problems like my schizophreania. but im still pushing forward strong :)

Answer 4

I would hope each and every person who suffered abuse and exploitation is healed/healing and putting the past behind them. I wish each of them love and support to get the abuse in perspective and to really know and accept it wasn't in any way their fault. What I wish for abusers it wouldn't be polite to type.
