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

From Jehoram to Azariah to AI to house inspection to doctors to Christmas to memories

Azariah pushing me to trust Jehoram without compromise

He doesn't know the damage he did when he didn't think it was worth telling me he was too busy to even tell me he couldn't meet with me. I'm glad I got to cancel on him today because for once I had control and pulled the blanket out from under him. He's done it enough to me.

Jehoram turns out he is a pompous jerk but not as emotionally stupid as I thought, he sucks at communicating.

AI still feels like a mess and I'm anxious to tell my peer support group tomorrow, but glad to give Christmas books. There was a memory that came up that I'm scared to look at...

House inspection, yeah I was in hospital for that so it got pushed to the day before I leave on holiday. It might be nice to come home to a clean house though.

The hospital was terrifying and overwhelming and what was scary was not knowing what it was. I felt disregarded, unimportant, she didn't even do a discharge summary the first time round. I liked yesterday's, she was lovely and took time to answer my questions and gave me an opportunity to research when the medication she would have given me had sulfur, I found same one but different companies that don't have sulfur. I am very good with my allergies.

Christmas... the carols event was nice but the emotions hit soon afterwards. It made me make a decision on Christmas Day though which was good. Going to do what I've done the last 3 years. Orphans unite!
