Broken Wings, Wanting To Fly

[Brokenwings87]

I really don't know what to say, I guess I could start by saying. I'm 24yrs old, 12yrs ago I was raped by my mothers boyfriend many time over and over again over a year. The man did no time, and suffered nothing from his actions. I told my mother as she did nothing, and she as well suffered nothing from her non-actions.

I suffered from the moment he stole my innocence, and suffer from PTSD. It's taken a long time to find a doctor who sat and listened. And asked more deeper questions than just how I felt and if I ever thought of or harmed myself. She dug deep and I opened up. And two years ago she let me know that I wasn't bi-polar, or unfixable. She informed me that I had PTSD, MDD, and ADHD.

I was told about this site to find and talk to others who've been down the same road that I've been and going down with recovery. I feel when I say recovery it's like I have a disease. But Recovery is just what it is. Because in the end of all, Yes I will always have the memory of an awful thing that happened to be but I'll know that just because it happened don't mean I'm any less of a person than someone who hasn't been through it. :)

There's hope and light at the end of the road of RECOVERY.

God bless you all.
