” feel nearly blinded by freedom. It’s as if I left the dark stage of a low budget S&M flick and went outside into bright, screaming sunlight. I can’t see a thing but I can hear you and I can hear myself. I can hear myself ………There is not a place in my head where I can escape the echo of “I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry” mixed with fear and confusion, but mostly fear.”
Wow!! That post is so powerful, telling, and moving. I can only imagine…but you lived it.
Take care of yourself and know that many people are thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.

It is heartbreaking to read about this happening to you and your conflicted feelings for your abuser. It is true that so many of us protect our abusive parents when they did nothing to protect, nurture, love or care for us. It is a very sad irony of being an abuse victim.

I do know the day I stopped protecting my abusers was the day I began to heal in earnest.

I don’t know what it is about abused children who stick up for their abusive parents. I only know that you are not the only one who does it.

A very painful read, I can only imagine how it must have felt to write it. How it must have felt to live through it at the time.

She was (is) a liar and a criminal. It seems abused kids always have the tendency to make excuses for their abusers, to be almost protective of them. It’s too bad the ones who abuse don’t feel that same sense of protectiveness for the little ones in their control.

She lied. She was wrong. She was so wrong.

I’m so sorry that happened to you.
