You are Not Alone

I know if you are a victim of any kind of abuse especially sexual abuse and you were abused as a child, it is very easy to feel alone. Like your the only one that it has ever happened to. I know this first hand because at the age of about 4 years old I was terrorized by my cousin who was about 14 at the time as he molested me and threatened to kill me and hide my body in the woods where no one would ever find it if I ever told. I remember to this day being scared and crying. I remember everything he did and made me do. Not just that day but every time he molested me from then on. I remember felling alone and helpless. I remember telling my mother that I didn’t want to go to their house and when she asked why being to scared to tell her why because I was afraid he would kill me. I was alone with no one to help save me. This feeling followed me for many years. It followed me through school and into my adult life. I am here to tell you if you are a victim of any kind of abuse you are not alone.

I am here to tell you there there are many others out here who have gone through the same things you have gone through. Some maybe even worse and we have survived. I was molested not just by this cousin but by other family members up until the time I was 13. Physically abused by others during the same time period. I survived you can to. I am here to tell the truth, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the victory. I have been through this cycle all the way around. I will tell you that you can win I did it so can you.

There are many of us out here and we all face the same issues and feelings. You need to realize no matter how much you hurt your not alone and you can survive. Realizing your not alone is a big step in becoming a survivor. You have many people who can help you get through this counseling is one option but if that is not for you then find other survivors to talk to who understand what you are going through.
