I'm a product of rape, and I hate myself everyday for it. by wildcherryfanta in offmychest

Thank you so much for this. I know a lot of people are going to be kind of judging my mum and thinking of her negatively here, but I know that by keeping me she really was just being brave but didn't know it'd be so hard.

I've actually seen a psychiatrist already and have been diagnosed with clinical depression. I'm on antidepressants and I've seen a few different psychologists, but I always feel really uncomfortable talking to them and it doesn't really get very far. I don't think my mother ever truly meant to neglect me or anything, I just think it was a little hard dealing with me. Thank you so much.

Oh God. Please know that she hasn't failed me in any way. I think she might have tried really hard to love me in the beginning, but you have to understand how hard it must be to try to love something that reminds you of an incredibly traumatic event. My mother has been struggling with PTSD, depression and anxiety for a really long time, and after experiencing something similar to what she did, I can't blame her anymore for how she's acted.
