Hey, sweetie: I was too...abused as a child; I know how horrific that is.
I wish I could say we could forget it, but that isn't possible.
What worked for me was that I talked about it a lot, and realized I couldn't change my past, but I COULD do something about my future.
You are doing that also, by going to school, etc., etc...and I am so proud of you.
I boiled my "stuff" down as far as I could, and then just live with whatever there is; that is all I can do.
I am driven to make a difference; I think you are too...Would it help to write your story?
i wrote my memoir: Ghost Child to Triumph (from a child with no voice, to someone who speaks up against injustice); I found in painful, but cathartic. I am not ashamed of my past. I did nothing wrong.
Hugs and Love to my crazy-twin....Love, Ally/Sassy
