Hey everyone

After todays' therapy I just need to say to you all I was just a kid. It wasn't my fault. I didn't make it happen.


I don't want to and still really can't write out the story but I just need to say I WAS JUST A KID. ONLY A KID. It wasn't my fault. And I'm starting to believe that in my guts.

And my stepfather is a mean bully, and I didn't cause that either.

I am so glad I found this forum. Thanks to all of you.

Amen Goddess!
You have come a long way just to be able to say that.
I still have not been able to say that it was not my fault.

We are so glad that you are here!

Goddess,

It must have taken a lot to admit that and write it here. You sounds like you are on the right road to healing and are doing really well. Like Shy, I am glad you are here.

Best Wishes

Darren

Thanks so much both of you. It means so much to have such great feedback from you.

ShyNSassy I know a bit of your story and I really want you to be able to let go of the self-blame too.

God, it's so good to be able to come here and vent/share! Thank God for all of you. :-)

I am working on that. And I will be able to do it one day.

I credit this site with being able to heal. Without it I do not know where I would be.

Goddess,
I similarily had to learn to let go and realize that something wasnt my fault and it was a long sometimes downhill process but i think similarly to you i have almost completly accepted it in my heart. I am so glad to hear you are recovering from the pain from your past! i wish you all the best
my prayers are with you

Goddess,

Glad to hear that you've reached a point to put the blame where it belongs.

Goddess, That is a very hard realization to come too...I am pleased that counseling is helping you and you are able to come to this point.  That is where healing begins...

Saying "I was just a kid", knowing it deep in your heart and remembering that day after day is one of the hardest things.  Realizing that we had no power or control in what happened, it wasnt our faults and trying to learn how to live with it in peace is a huge feat.

I too am trying to get to this point...it just hasnt jelled for me yet.
