I'm thinking of writing a letter to my abusers.I was molested 35+ years ago by a friends parents. Slowly this emotionally and then physically took my friends life as she too had suffered the abuse, only worse. They are old now and in their 70's and I want them to feel the pain they have caused...

Not sure if anyone has anything similar but I am riddled with guilt over sexual abuse at age 11. My best friend also was abused. It was her father. We were not together when this happened (I think) but wer individually molested. I believe she was abused for many, many many years. After...

I started therapy with a trauma specialist in July. She is wonderful and I think I may actually someday get well with her help. But, I overdosed in July and went into the hospital. When I got discharged I didn't tell her what I had done, only that I was more depressed and suicidal. This was...

I'm sure many here suffer from emotional, physical and sexual trauma. There is so much trauma that my therapist had me mentally put "it" all away in a "container" and deal with one trauma, one molecule at a time. My therapist is away for 9 days at a conference and the container is hemorrhaging...

I am having a huge problem connecting with my sadness emotions and being able to release them thru the oceans worth of tears I'm holding back. I just can't cry in her presence. I want to, need to but I am blocked. I feel like if she just held my hand I'd be ok with it but I'd rather swim with...
