I was sexually molested as a child and yes I do enjoy my sexuality. It is possible, but it wasn't always this way for me either. I spent years and am still currently going to therapy to get to this point. I used to have nightmares about sex and any aspect that had to do with sex. I even avoided...
Well I had somewhat of a similar situation. The best thing to do that helped me was going to therapy and working on healing yourself. Excuse my anger but f*ck them. Get your health together, that matters way more.
You know what I often do feel like everything done is undermining to my emotional wellbeing. I will never trust my family greatly again and someone doesn't want to acknowledge the hurt they have cause, like you said their gestures will always be laced with emotional abuse.
I am so happy for you and I am sorry you had to deal with that from your father. I am excited to know it's possible to move on with life without family. Thanks for your input! :)
Thank you. I needed to hear those words. It's hard to remind myself that it's my life, I'm an adult and I now have the power. I work at getting better everyday but it's hard doing it without stable support. I appreciate your comment greatly.
Thanks. It's relieving to know. My classes are extremely stressful and I try not to upset myself about it so much but I know dealing with ptsd makes it so much harder to be a student and not having a social support doesn't help. I appreciate the support that I have been receiving here however. I...

I 100% agree with that. I just want my anger to subside and betrayl is poison that I carry in my heart everyday because of "family". I have a hard time trusting others and that is not good for any human'spirit health under any circumstance.
Thank you. What is life like for you now that they are gone? Are you happier? I feel like my life would be better...much better but I go back and forth. Please tell me it's a liberating experience.
Do you go to therapy ? I do and it helps but know what you mean. I'm up right now and have had no sleep. I have really bad triggers. thinking about my family really upsets me. However, you just reminded me I also have sleeping pills and I see nothing wrong with using them when needed. But if...
I grew up in an emotionally, physically and verbally abusive home. I was also sexually molested and blamed. I told many members of my family and essentially, no one cares. I started getting sexually abused at 8 and lasted until I was 14. I f*cking hate my family. My mother told me I was trying...
