Oh god...as someone who also went through CSA and ended up "liking" it after a point, I truly hope he doesn't carry that guilt with him..it's our bodies doing something that's outside of our control, and our mind trying to protect us from the pain of hopelessness in the moment. It wasn't his fault..

It’s a coping mechanism unfortunately, it really breaks you. Your brain becomes programmed to try and enjoy it to survive, and when you finally do, you spend years trying to reprogram yourself. I’m an incest survivor as well as CSA, and the years after have been the hardest of my life.

Holy fuck, man, that intro... My old best friend, a man who I literally dropped everything and ran to, once called me and said he had tried three times and the end never came... Two were duds, the last got stuck in a barrel he cleaned weekly. When I got over there after he told me this, I talked to him and understood the vast terror and sadness of losing yourself. I'm sure it's different when you planned it that way, but being faced with your end in an instant?

I think it's because they relive the event so many times in their head that it breaks the shock eventually and leaves you feeling hollow, like yeah, that happened and I'm alive today, even though I was so close to death I'm alive. Now this doesn't mean you just shrug it off, you can cry your pretty little eyes out or even become enraged but eventually everyone gets used to the trauma, it's like conditioning, but sadly getting used to it doesn't exactly mean you get to keep your old life or even a life at all.

This is the type of shit you see in movies and think “it could never be this bad.” I can’t even think of anything to say. By the slim chance this guy sees my comment, every ounce of rage you felt, every feeling of vengeance you felt, you have absolutely no reason to feel bad about what you did to the people who wronged you. What they did to you is unimaginable, and may they rot in the boiler room of hell. You are thousands of times stronger than I can ever hope to be. You are the definition of perseverance, and you shouldn’t feel shamed about what happened. You went through more trauma as a child than a hundred humans do in their life. I’m sorry if this goes against your wish to not be pitied, but truth is I admire you and your courage. From the bottom of my heart I give every ounce of condolence and support I can give to you.
