Why did it happen to me?? I know that is one question I'll never know the answer to!
I was put in a childrens home when i was 8 by my parents who thought they were doing the right thing!! I had suspected epilepsy(thanks to my aunt!!!!)
whilst i was there i was raped and abused numerous of time by a group of teenagers!! (4 boys and a girl!!!) That really screwed me up!!! it went on for over a year!!
then on my 11th birthday my brother started as well!!! this went on for a couple of months! couldn't say anything as my brother could do no wrong and I was the trouble maker according to my parents!!!!
I've spent nearly all my life being abused in some form or other!! I joined the RAF as soon as i could to get away from my family!!! but was bullied through out my time (9years) and when I came back to civvy street I was treated the same!!!
why can't i have a normal life with friends!!! instead of this lonely life with hardly any friends!!!
I got married last year! but looking back I married the first man who asked me!! don't regrett it though but we arn't madly in love like newly weds should be!!!
I really hate myself for what happened and think i could of stopped it!!! even though my counsellor keeps telling me ! that I couldn't not as a 8 year old or even at 11!!
sorry for waffling!
just do what everyone else does when it comes to me!! and ignore it!!!
just thanks for letting me waste this bit of space!!!
There will be no space wasting or ignoring here. Just lots of understanding, compassion and hugs(if you want them). I'm sorry for what you've been through. We unfortunately tend to repeat the 'victim' behaviors that the abusive types seem to instinctively know. You can learn to protect yourself, take care of yourself and find people who will treat you with kindness. This is a great place to start!
