(TW: abuse/SA) my memories are coming back :(
TW: abuse and SA
I'm a teen now, but when I was little my dad used to hit my brother, and maybe me. he always had/still has anger issues and he used to have drinking problems (he's sober now). I barely remember anything before I was eight, and even past that too sometimes. recently tho, I've been thinking a lot about when my father would get angry. I was also kind of SA when I was 10 by a friend and she tried to do it again when I was 11. it wasn't anything crazy but i wasn't comfortable either. and now I can't stop thing about it. I'm not sure why I've been remembering that stuff now, but I really don't want to... does anybody have advice or just support? also I'm trying to get a therapist but my mom doesn't really understand why I want one :( thanks for reading..
@lolorye89 I'm so sorry sweetie 🙁 I've recently started remembering things I'd blocked out too😥 so I know how terrifying it is🙁 I don't really have much advice cause I'm just as upset and scared as you are right now 🙁 but what I've been told by my therapist is that's it's the start of healing from theese traumatic times, our brains blocked it out to protect us but now our brains are wanting us to heal. So don't ignore theese flashbacks/memories acknowledge them and let yourself cry, scream or just sit in silence with your thoughts. I know it's hard but your not alone sweetie, I'm right there with you 💗 gives you a giant tiny hug 💗we will both get through this 💖

@lolorye89 I hope your mum will let you are a therapist 💖 that could really help💖
@Tinywhisper11
yea I hope so, she doesn't totally know the reasons I want one so she's been hesitant, but I think she'll pull thru ;)
@lolorye89 well I'm here for you too 💖
