Survivors of Abuse Speak Out!

Hi Catfish.

Are you posting on behalf of yourself or for a group?

I am glad you are supporting a cause, but this is a forum to help support those with PTSD in their journey to heal, all causes of PTSD, not only abuse survivors. You will find no shortage of people here speaking out about their abuse. There is no hiding or stigmatism here.

I fully believe DAs, attorneys, judges, and social workers are all too aware of the extent of abuse as this is their job. They have to operate within the boundries of law is the only thing. If there is no proof then there is no case. Many children and adults claim such as an act of revenge or anger over life situations, why there is a burden of proof. Not all accused are guilty. But people here for the most part are here to heal, not prosecute. That is the purpose here. Simply heal...

I guess I am saying you are preaching to the choir.

 

As I am a member of about 15 seconds now, I have to sit on the fence. I want nothing more than an erased memory from the event(s) that shatter me every day. When the event(s) that took place which have caused my PTSD, the DAs, attorneys, judges and social workers were all connected into the "good 'ole boy" network. I know that times have changed, yet I will never be able to forgive, forget, or recieve any type of satisfaction by way of prosicution for the offender(s). May they rot in Hell.

 

It's a personal matter.
No one should feel obliged to do or say anything.
Each individual will decide if they want to tell their story. And sometimes they chose to tell that story only to their therapist or only their loved ones.
Number one priority is yourself, and your healing. For some telling their story is the only path to healing. For others, it simply adds to the trauma. For some they can tell parts, but never others.
You are not responsible for anyone else. Only you.
