[@midnightsan9917]

Don't get me wrong thats a great thing. Unfortunately she may be a victim of a whole different kind of abuse. Her therapist -- the one that did the memory recollection thing -- was more than likely just putting false memories into her head. Keep in mind this was during the satanic panic. Check out Mikey atkins she explained it better on her teal swan video and is an actual therapist unlike myself.

[@tearsintherain6311]

If you don’t forgive you carry a part of them with you forever, call it karma, attachment, letting others have power over you or whatever, only when you can unattach from those who hurt you Can you truly be free from them. But hey, nobody said you need to un-attach, it’s not good or bad, it just is. But it doesn’t change the fact you’re not gonna let go until you forgive. So if you don’t wanna let go maybe you’re not ready yet or maybe you’ll never be, if might cause you suffering in the long run, but it’s not right or wrong, it’s just a choice you make. Maybe you don’t want to stop suffering or stop giving control to other people, that’s not for others to decide. Think of it like you carry someone’s weight over your shoulders, you can get strong and learn to live with it, but it doesn’t change the fact you still carry it. You can also get rid of that weight and forget about it forever and not be affected by it again, to move on can be to learn to survive despite it… or to finally let go and free yourself from it, it’s up to you in the end And yeah I say so from experience and after studying Buddhism, philosophy psychology and psychoanalysis, it’s what I finally realized after so many years of believing the same thing you do, there’s a reason why EVERYONE says it, it’s like “if you love them set them free” and those other phrases everyone says but no one knows why, there’s a lot of nuance behind it

Abuse is surprisingly normal in a lot of places, especially when it comes to a parent physically assaulting their kid for 'unacceptable behaviour', which is just an excuse really. The signs of abuse are subtle so often overlooked. I was neglected and starved for a while, but no one saw an issue until one teacher realised I wasn't eating at breaks. It took a few years before this symptom alone was seen.

As a survivor of similar atrocities I can say that monsters do not look like monsters. They look like the fun well respected people in the community w a nice smile.

The first time I brought a family member into a therapy session, it was my mom. We were discussing the abuse I faced as a child with the therapist and my mom brought up a time my dad had pressed my face into the wooden floor with his knee for minutes so hard one side of my head was entirely purple. I was stunned listening to her, I could not remember ANY of this. Later on when I tried my hardest to think back to those days, I remember one morning putting on makeup for the first time to go to school and not knowing how to apply any of it. I later realized I had been trying to cover up the bruises and my mom confirmed this memory was correct. It's insane the things our brain is capable of to protect us.

People like to play the Pain Game; comparing their struggles to others. An attempt to use their suffering to one up someone else, as if it's something to brag about. I hate the Pain Game. I will never play it. Your suffering may not be as "bad" or "intense" as someone else's in their opinion. But your suffering was real. It IS real. My best example is my menstrual cramps. Women try to compare their menstrual pain. I as a woman do not. I am aware that mine is extreme, but that's my normal. But what is MY normal, is NOT another woman's normal. I know that pain. And she is in pain. And I will use my familiarity to comfort her. Your trauma may not be as "bad" as some may think. But did you go through it? Did you survive? Are you surviving now? You pushed through so much. And no one can take that away. Your trauma hurt you. Just like someone else's trauma hurt him/her. Your pain is real. Your suffering happened. But your recovery will happen too.

My grandma has experienced similar torture and abuse from her family and religiuous members, along with dozens of cult sacrifice cerimonys, she developed DID (dissociative Identity Disorder) which kept splitting with each life shattering traumatic event, they kept happening and her brain kept developing seperate personalities to cope with the trauma. Once the trauma and abuse stopped, she started going to therapy and bettering herself etc, she learned she had over 100 personalities from the trauma. She has never written or spoken publicly about it, not because she doesnt want it to get out, but because the stories and horrors she witnessed would never be believed. Its terrible, but things like this happen so much more often than people would think. BE SAFE OUT THERE, THE WORLD CAN BE A SCARY PLACE!

Those puzzle pieces just kept falling into my lap and my brain was constantly working on putting them together.

SMOSH. Now that I'm at a place where I'm ready to start looking into other people's stories that may be similar to mine... I find this one. I clicked, not even realizing what channel it was!

When I was 19 she told me to “get over it/myself because it’s been 3 years” as she was moving that same family member back into her house. I told her she could pick me or this toxic family shit she’s obsessed with and obviously she didn’t pick me. I’m about to be 23, low contact with her for 3 years, and it took so long to realize that she clearly wanted the same things that happened to her to happen to me. she wanted me to get victimized by a family member like she was and I bet she hoped I’d get pregnant like she did. Maybe it comes from an incessant need to be understood, maybe she hoped she could create some perfect child that could completely understand her, maybe it’s just a product of the grooming she had to have gone thru, whatever the case she not only didn’t protect me she held me over the goddam flames.

And it isnt untill now and in my 30's where ive decided 'i dont need that in my life' it had been hard and terrible and im done with that. But its hard to explain, why i wont see or contact my mother anymore becUsr people feel the need to remind you, thats she is your mother and she loves you...while clearly we know otherwise ❤

[@CrazyCatLady0410]

My mom to was molested by a family member. When my grandfather tried to molest my sister and we told her. She kept there for weeks until we had a visit with my dad. I accidentally let slip to the court mediator. When my grandfather died a made an off hand joke. I was attacked on line by my uncles wife and my mom's best friend. They called me names demanded I take it down, etc. My mom said nothing because she was hoping to get part of the inheritance that went just to my uncles. I'm finally now dating it.

[@alicevill2259]

Sorry to hear that. I'm a mother of 3 girls so one of them a few years back tried to tell me but she was misunderstood because half of us taugh she had a nightmare. Then few years later the 3 came out and told me they had been molested by my husband ( stepfather) they are adults and 2 years before this came out they had agreed for me to Mary him. So you can imagine how I felt. I felt betrayed from both sides. Feelings are understandable but even with those feelings I opted for seperation. Because my daughters come first. I am trying harder to be a better mother and less a woman. They are much better they are joyful none depressed girls because They have God and me to lean on. I also have the support of my parents. I'm am 42 years old I was with this man for 13 years so I realy taught he was there as a father. I only live for my God and children that's it.

Thank you so much for interviewing her. This interview was so triggering in the best way. My family went to a cult that was disguised as a church when I was a child and I was sex trafficked by my aunt and uncle for a short period of time and experienced ritualistic sexual abuse as well and seeing this brings me hope knowing my family and I are not alone. The main fear I've always had, that keeps me from being more open about my abuse is that no one will believe me because the abuse was so disgusting and unbelievable. I was also told that some of my memories could have been metaphorical but they were indeed, very real, my siblings had the same memories proving it really happened. I'm so grateful that ritualistic sexual abuse and sex trafficking is being brought to the light. It's a horrible thing that happens far more than people know. Thank you again!

More than likely, it's both. It's probably truth sprinkled with exaggeration. People tend to remember things somewhat correct, but with certain details wrong. Doesn't mean the memory isn't real, but that it's not entirely true. Maybe try writing about it or drawing it and see what happens?
