zoophile345	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 4:44AM you dont overcome child abuse, you just except that it happened and it doesnt control your life, unless you want it to. you have the power to rise above so just do it. as for clingy and needy, what are you desperately wanting to get from other people that your not, figure it out then you will know what you really need Rated: +1Vote for this!
krystelle148	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 4:47AM me2 hun It was not your fault and you need to make the decision to be stronger from it rather than broken. Its one of the hardest things to do but its the only way to go other than living with pain, anger Rated: +1Vote for this!

NancyDrew	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 5:01AM You can't change your past but you can change how you react to your past. You are not a victim you are a survior. Reminding yourself of that is an important part of moving forward. Recovery takes many forms and right now you might need to be clingy and needy and when you are ready, you will let go of clingy and needy and move forward. Releasing yourself from victim status is a journey into self. It doesn't happen overnight. Therapy can only do so much. Most of the real work is done by you. I've been where you are and if you need someone to talk to feel free to PM me. Peace and love. Rated: +1Vote for this!
RandomBloke1973	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 5:34AM That's the exact opposite of what I would expect. I thought that if you were abused, you would have a much harder time trusting people at all. Men in particular. I wouldn't expect you to be clingy and needy, I'd expect you to be hostile, suspicious, embittered, etc. In your position, I think I would steer clear of intimate interpersonal relationships altogether until I was ready to "let go" of the past.

redflame	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 6:34AM coming from child abuse myself, it's something you will never get over. You do need to speak to a professional, see if there is free councelling in your area or a pastor, someone you trust. You need to talk about it, and get it off your chest, to learn to live with it better. It will be a massive weight off your shoulders. Try and block the image you have in your mind and replace it with other happy and beautiful images. Force yourself to not dwell on what happened. Even writing in a journal will also help.

HazyBlueEyes2002	Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 11:55AM I can tell you a little tip that has helped me. I don't know what you went through.. I'm sure I went through different.. Everybody who has gone through childhood abuse has gone through a different experience BUT this is what I remember to help me.... "I Got through it. I got MYSELF through it! I DEALT with it and I CAN handle ANYTHING if I have to! I am STRONGER than even I know, so long as I have faith in myself. I BELIEVE in ME." Try saying this to yourself in your head.. put it on a piece of paper beside your mirror and your bed and just read it twice a day.. It will help. Feel free to message me! Rated: +1Vote for this!
