Looking for a listener to vent to.

I'm looking for a listener who won't mind me venting to them when memories are bothering me. I'm not looking for advice or even solutions really as i have come a long way but in order to process some of those memories healthily i think it would be helpful o have someone who could talk them through with.

Someone who won't make me feel bad for past traumatic memories still bothering me and who won't say just get over it or leave the past behind you, because part of being able to leave the past behind you is acknowledging the effects it has had on you and, being aware of them so as to ensure that you don't allow them hold you back, or for some things just acknowledging that's a part of you.

my memories involve abuse and experiences in the foster system And may be triggering for some.

I have trouble opening up to people and im trying to push myself to do this but I am also looking for a listener who will acknowledge that I have alot of paranoia and when I say I don't want to talk about something at that time, that really does mean I don't want to talk about it and I ask for the listener to respect that.I'm not looking for pity just a safe space to vent in.

it's ok if no one is able to listen but i thought it might be worth a shot.

Please contact me...I would love to talk with you. I am very much in agreement that there are MANY times when it is necessary to go through the memories so that you can heal. I have PTSD as well from severe childhood abuse so nothing will phase me. :) Here for you...
