Talking through trauma and PTSD

Running

Running

"Behind every strong person is a story that gave them no choice"

My life is all about a lack of choice.

I'm alive because death would've outed him, it would have sealed his fate in prison.

TW: cultic, rape, trafficking, torture

I'm the daughter of a Satanist...

One trained to breed...

One pregnant at 6 years old...

One prostituted to whoever could afford her...

The girl her dad didn't want...

One men hired to have fun with...

One men experimented with...

One who was tortured for speaking up...

One trained for the sole purpose to please her buyer...

Regardless of age...

Still though...

One who never stayed silent...

One who broke free... twice...

One who rose up...

One who seeks to prove them wrong...

One who has been running for 15 years...

One who just needs to feel heard...

One who went through hell and survived...

That this Phoenix can rise...

She will not be burned...

She's proven that...

I have proven that...

I'm 35 and 90% of those I've been in prolonged abusive situations insufficient evidence for prosecution

A system that protects the abuser more than the survivor

And yet I still try

I don't try for me, I try for the ones after me, the ones like me, that they will see their justice

But for now I run...

From a dad that wants me silenced...

From the nightmares that plague my sleep...

From the memories that invade my mind...

From the choices made for me...

Didn't expect that to come out as poetic as it did

I feel like nobody has time for me, I'm too difficult, too much, nobody cares enough.

I'm processing 10 different triggers and nobody has time for me, they're too busy to care and too busy to help

What would be helpful at this time @avant-garde ?

It sounds incredibly hard. I'm sorry you feel no one has time for you.

Re: Running

That's hard @avant-garde that sounds like a lonely place to be.

To be clear, none of us here think that you're too difficult or too much and I'm really sorry that you're feeling that right now 💜

@tyme

I don't even know where to start it's so much.

The biggest thing though is I'm missing having that family around me, people to care when I'm hurting or sick.

I had a tooth removed last week and the support around me was a mess.

I've been through so much with my teeth that I had to be orally sedated to get it removed after having multiple traumatic extractions since I was 18 and I get told I don't need support, I can do it on my own, I can wait for the sedation to wear off on my own, I can deal with the emotional fallout on my own. I ask for help and get told I can do it on my own, I don't need help.

What about when I have surgery next year? Will I be on my own then too? Because that plays on my mind.
