Hello. I'm Rose, I'm 31 and currently live in the Pacific NW in the USA. I'm a dual national US/UK and have spent half my life in each country.
I was physically and emotionally abused by both parents from the age of 7 (or so) until I was 13 when the Childrens Services pulled me out of my home. My father's behaviour has bordered on sexual abuse, but I don't really tend to deal with that. I was also raped twice in my teens/early twenties.
I've just restarted therapy about 2 months ago, and it's hard going. I'm just looking for someone to talk... I have no friends and although I'm married, I can't talk to my husband about this stuff.
Hope this wasn't too much info - sorry if it is. I'd love to hear from anyone. Thanks and I wish you all well on your journeys to healing.
hi hon (((((((((huggs)))))))) welcome i dont think it was too much information the more you can talk about it openly the easer it becomes and easier to move on although in some cases therapy is deffo needed.
Hi. I have just recently retrieved some suppressed memories of being sexually molested at 6 by my friends father. I was also in an abusive relationship for 6 years in my teen years. I am also married but cannot talk to my spouse. I have felt alone my whole life. I have been in therapy for years but these are new issues for me to deal with, and I am not sure that I can.
Hello Rose, Im aud , im also quite a new member , i know its tough but you are doing the right think talking about it, i know what you mean its difficult to talk to our husbands or partners or anyone about it , unless they have actually been in that situation and then they can at least begin to understand although we are all unique!! i was raped and sexually assaulted by my father as well as violent and mental abuse for many years... he has recently been sent to prison for 12 years , i should be overjoyed but actually am finding it a struggle.. im so pleased however that i found this site and can speak to others. send me a message anytime you need to talk.
