I'm sorry for your pain. Although I have not personally experienced abuse, I appreciate your courage to speak out. It is sad when victims are not believed in certain situations. Not taking anything away from your story, but this is the same thing that women who have been raped has gone through. many times they feel ashamed and don't want to relieve the incident in court because more than likely they feel like they are the ones on trial instead of the actual person who did it. Thanks for sharing.JJNP wrote: ↑04 Apr 2018, 14:55 This is a definite must-read for me. I identify with it all.
One of the reasons we don't go to the cops or escape, although sometimes we try, is that we feel that we won't be believed, we will end up back and it will be even worse, or sometimes even it is loyalty, a bond a child has even for very bad and abusive parents is hard to break.

It was a very eye-opening read for me. I was talking to a guy the other day about a dad that beat a man to death when he caught him raping his little girl. This guy told me that the guy should have just called the cops because the rapist did not deserve to die and that the little girl "could get help and get over it". I think that even with help, there are some things that we cannot just forget. We can learn to cope, but it is always in the corner of your mind.
