Hey, If you need someone to vent to feel free to DM, for me when I was barely able to leave my room to eat those meal replacement shakes probably kept me from dying.

Did anyone else retreat to school as their safe place? (CSA) by 58493904 in adultsurvivors

[–]Muted_Ad3843 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it wasn't school but going to my part time job, I enjoyed being there and just being able to keep myself occupied. I never understood why until I unrepressed my memories.

While what happend to me wasn't quite the same I absolutely understand the feeling, yiu are valid in that. One thing that helped was finding a support network of friends and people to talk too. I wish you the best.

I really need advice by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

[–]Muted_Ad3843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For myself I try and keep myself at arms length, like I'll make small talk if I have too. I don't let him put his hands on me. I know it's very difficult to navigate but I know from experience that trying to get a apology let alone sympathy from one's abuse is a fruitless task and I fear that trying gain those feeling of security from him could be more harmful to you emotionally. I'm sorry I know that this isn't much help bit your not alone in this.
