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 sick

In response to: Re: Running

Re: Running

It was 2017 and the church I was in was forcing me to spend time with my family

I started being honest with my experiences again

They wouldn't listen to me

This person listened to me

And took advantage of it

In response to: Re: Running

Re: Running

I'm so sorry that this person took advantage of you when you were needing care and to be heard @avant-garde

I am mindful of how painful this topic and these memories must be, have you been able to talk to any in-person supports about how this is surfacing for you at the moment?

@Ru-bee

Considering calling blue knot

In person though is difficult this time of year, my therapist is on leave and my case manager is away

My peer group broke up for the year yesterday

My church doesn't know how to help

Re: Running

Talking to Blueknot sounds like a good idea @avant-garde and a way to get you some support right now. Of course we're here too, always, but I want to make sure you're getting as much care and support to help you through right now 💜

@Ru-bee

Not trying to fob me off then?

In response to: Running

Re: Running

It's okay not to know. @avant-garde

If anything does come to your mind though, please don't hesitate to to let me know. I ask because I want to help as much as possible. 💛

In response to: Re: Running

Re: Running

Never @avant-garde 💜

It's an "as well" suggestion, rather than "instead of". If this is a hard time let's get you connected with as many supports that you feel may be helpful, including the forums

Re: Running

@Ru-bee

It's overwhelming and a lot going through my head

It's the stupid memory the ai hacker tapped into

In response to: Re: Running

Re: Running

Ah, I understand @avant-garde

I'm glad you're reaching out for support, and I hope you do feel the support from us here
