I Am a Survivor

Surviving And Still Going..

By: MissUnperfect
Written on March 8th, 2011
I am a survivor of sexual, mental, and physical abuse, from most of my family members and my uncle he raped me for 7 years (6 to 13) and is in jail at the moment, i have come a long way from my past till now, and each day is another day of trying to survive and not remember the things that has happen or not get triggered, many people think it is so easy, and 99 percent of them never has been through a situation like it, but in reality it isnt easy, people just say that to make you believe it is, atleast i know for me it wasnt easy, i go through struggles everyday and try and make something positive come out of it...i guess in the end things will get better in time....

    ((hug)) it is NOT easy to just forget. When going through something like this, the thoughts that go through your mind...the memories...they haunt you. *sigh* I have been through emotional abuse and I was also raped. I won't get into the details, but I have been there...and it is not easy to leave it in the past. There seems to be a constant reminder. All we can do is continue trying to survive and make it through each day.

    Miss U,

    I am SO glad to see that you see yourself as a survivor; being one myself, I would say that it is the single most important perspective for healing that we can have...I am SO sorry about what others have done to you in your life, you did not deserve it and you deserve to heal and live a life of freedom and love...wishing you the very best.

    That is awful and I can't believe anyone would think it would be easy. I think it would be extremely difficult and it is a testimony to your strength that you are still here and that you offer to help others with their problems. Truly you are a survivor. God bless, sweetie.

    There isn't much in common with me life. However I used to know a woman whose life experience was very similar to yours. She was a survivor and I see you are too. She too was raped by her father and she wound up needing to marry her 1st cousin. Its a very long story. She wound up with HepC and passed away from a drunk driver. This is all true and not an urban legend. I personally knew this woman. Her name was Patricia Persia. She lived in Delaware County, PA. I wish you well.

    You will survive and you will thrive. Because you have the determination built within you. Others have gone through this before and made it through. You will, too.
