Sufferer Csa Survivor, Ended Abusive Relationship

[Damien]

Hi guys,

I have read through this website several times previously as I find a lot of comfort in knowing that I'm not the only person who has to endure the daily reliving of trauma. I have a small support group of friends but they just can't understand that I can't simply "just move on" or "just think about something else".

I was molested heavily since I was 12 until I was old enough to move to another city, in some ways though having 12 years of a great family life has given me something to hold on to. Since entering adulthood I've seen a disturbing pattern of dating abusive women which I really want to change as each time it takes a little more out of me and gives me new unhealthy traits to work on.

Look forward to figuring out how to fit into this community and sharing a sense of recovery.

Thank you all,

Damien

Welcome, Damien!

And on a side note: Same here for this... (exchange women by men)
