This is current:

I was working on my jeep in my driveway when I heard "dont move" put Your hands in the air" About 10 cops with guns drawn pointed at my neighbor. I was right there.

He is done, 115 counts molest. no bail.

Iwas interviewed by FOX, (can somehow be seen online) but was just the unrealizing neighbor. If you are more computer savy tahn me check out fox news San Diego County, Vista, Ca

Some was to his own daughters.

He is now getting what he did to others.

My own case is too old.

Stand up.

If you want more info about this case let me know, respond, happenned just couple days ago.

Hope you all can have a Merry Christmas or happy Hollidays.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? Mooncourage I am glad that my words helped you, that is great. It sounds as though you are moving on and trying to regain charge. I feel sad for all of my "lost" years, of not knowing what was wrong with me, why I could never be happy even though things were going very well. However, I am starting to understand what happened, accept, move on, and choose life. Althea, what is it that you would like to post? Are you too fearful? I know when I came to this site I was a little cautious, after all we are putting ourselves out there for all to see and this can be disconcerting. After posting, I felt very worried whether or not I had done the right thing, I imagined that everyone would know who I was and I would be shamed. Then I remembered that the postings are anonymous and that I can share without worrying. I had never told anyone in detail what happened to me, but after posting I felt a huge relief. Be brave and take the bull by the horns. Happy new year to you all.

I have just realized that alot of the problems I have had are stemming from the abuse I encountered as a child. I am really looking for help to get my life back.

I am also new to the program and am looking for others to walk through the steps with...and receive and provide support. I am very dedicated at this point and would like to find a few friends to make this journey with. Please allow new posts and I will write an intro in a new topic.

Hello all

I am trying to post to the Open Discussion, but it won't let me. My partner was a victum of child abuse growing up and I am trying to help him out. I am looking for ways to help him and then also have him join something like this so he knows he's not alone.

Any ways can help.

Thanks
Wes

I am about to start step 4 for myself and I’m scared to death about doing it. Writing my story took me 4 days and obviously if I’m here I’d like to think I have the commitment required to get me through this. I shared my story with my best friend and though she didn’t run away from me – she really didn’t say anything outside of the fact that it must have been hard to write. I try to talk to my friends about what is going on with me and I keep getting that now isn’t the time or they can give me like 15 minutes. I feel like I’m still pushing things down inside of me because I can’t get them out. I was even suppose to make up a code that if I text message it out to my friends – they know that I’ve gone into a dark place. I’ve used it once and still had to wait for a good time. It’s just hard and though I would never do anything to physically harm myself – emotionally the pain is very hard to deal with. I just feel very lost right now.

I know what happened to me as a child is not my fault – it’s the first thing my counselor told me. I just want it out and gone. I’m afraid to remember the feelings of it because even the first time I remembered being physically abused at the age of 4. I bawled, sobbed and for days I felt numb. I didn’t know about this forum at the time. Since I do feel so alone in all of this – I’m hoping this helps me get through it.

Last week I was at a close family friend’s funeral and I told my brother and sisters what I was going through and to have them tell me that it wasn’t that bad or that it stopped at a certain point just totally blew me away. Maybe they didn’t get it as bad because the younger ones I was always protecting but to this day my parents still are emotionally abusing me and trying to guilt me all the time.

I’m giving myself through the weekend without trying to remember and I plan on going forward next week. I will let you know how I’m doing.

Hi, I am a new member here. I am a 23 year old married mother of two wonderful children, 2 and 2 months. I have known since I was a teenager that I had an emotionally abusive step-mother, for reasons unknown everything wrong in her life was my fault. I have tried to deal with and "recover" on my own, Mostly because I had no idea something like this exsisted. Everyday I realize more and more that my fears and feelings of inadiquency, stem from this. I have gone to counciling but all i got from that was to be told that I was doing well. I had nothing to worry about, and in the community where I live emotional abuse is not considered an issue. I am young, and I want to have a future, I want to be able to feel like I can succede, I want to go to school, get a drivers licence with out fearing that I will fail. That I wont be enough in general to succed. I know that I can but I cant move forward. Does this make any sense to anyone?

[lark]

I'm new. I have so many questions. I've sought answers but haven't had much luck. This of course makes me feel more like a freak. Just want to know if there are others out there with the same issues.

Hi all. First time here, I was going thru the web to see if there was anyone else feeling the way I do. I'm 46 years old, and due to the fact that my life wasn't what it should be, I started seeing a therapist about 2 months ago. The most startling revelation of my life was that I was indeed an abused child- how did I not know that? It seems I rationalized and forgave all the abusive behavior of both my parents- my fathers physical and my mothers emotional and psychological- for most of my life! i can't believe I thought this was a normal way of life.Has anyone else gone thru this?

[tears24]

My hubby sometimes triggers me and I will have nightmares and memories for days afterwards. I get mean during this time because I feel he does this on purpose. He doesn't really, I just overreact.
