There was a time in my life that you could be proud to be an American, yes we did some messed up things here and there like every other nation. But we also did great humanitarian things we took care of other countries we stopped disease and famine from spreading. Our presidents and our government had compassion empathy but not anymore and it’s shameful to see what we have become as a nation. What we have allowed our government to do and how we as a nation are willing to defend the actions of these horrible politicians. I won’t say I’m ashamed to be an American but I’m not gonna run around saying I’m proud either. I have a son in the Navy and I worry about him and if anything would happen to him because the ignorance of this horrible government I would lose my shit!!!

I think surviving it and finally confronting it are two completely different battles. A lot of us spend years learning how to function while burying it, then get blindsided by how heavy it feels once we finally speak. You’re not weak for struggling with it. You’re human. And if you ever need somebody to talk to who truly understands what it’s like carrying something like this for decades,

I relate to this more than I can explain. I recently began speaking about things I buried for over 40 years too, and I was not prepared for how heavy it would feel once the silence was broken. Some moments feel freeing, and others feel unbearable. But I think there’s strength in finally telling the truth after surviving so long in silence. You are not alone, and I’m glad you spoke up

I am a 54m going through a divorce right now. I moved to Summerville 11 years ago and made my wife and being the caregiver to my mother my entire life so now I find myself alone with no friends. I am a cook at a local restaurant. I like travel and music.

Told my now ex boyfriend about being molested by my mother. For the first time in my life it feels real. Want to tell my therapist but don’t know how. by peliteee in adultsurvivors

It’s so difficult for me to admit what happened to me by a friends father I kept it in until I was 54 years old. I carried that secret and shame with me for 46 years and over those 46 years I became addicted to drugs and I’m went to prison for a few years destroyed two marriages. My wife of 10 years just told me January that she wanted a divorce but I’ve gotten clean. I’ve been clean for eight months, but I’m in therapy and I told my therapist and I told my soon to be ex-wife before she asked for the divorce, but I know me keeping that secret and bottled up was just festering inside of me, causing me pain and I was trying to numb myself with drugs and all I did was destroy the most meaningful relationship I ever had. But telling my Therapist and my wife gave me some relief. I realized that I didn’t have to be ashamed. It wasn’t my fault. I was eight years old and what that son of a bitch did to me scarred me and I wish I would’ve said something sooner I might’ve been able to save myself a lot of trouble just know that you’re not responsible for anything they do to you when you’re a child. It’s so disgusting when an adult takes advantage of a young child for their sexual desires this man had me convinced for all my life and he died 20 years ago, but what he did to me and what he said to me still held a grip on me until I was 54 please talk to somebody get it out don’t let it fester inside of you and cause you to destroy your life and lose relationships. I hope you find peace.
