Quote From: wordhaWendy,
When I told my mother what my step father was doing to me she slapped me in the face and said, What are you doing to lead him on?"
I was abused for many years. I am the lost child..I stay away from the family. They are toxic to me. I have no other recourse. I tried to communicate with my mother however, she tells me everything I say is a lie. There can be no healing if there is no honesty and open communication. So I stay away.
Take care,
Holly
Hello Holly,
I Thank You! for posting a response. I'm so sorry to hear what you went through as a child. I remember my Mom telling me that also "It Is Your Fault" she claimed. Well we both know it wasn't our fault and we did not deserve what happen to us. A couple of months ago I confronted my step-father over the phone and he appoligized and FINALLY! admited what he did to me. It was a BIG relief and I finally feel I can move on now. I'm still going to get theraphy for this because it is a struggle sometimes, with the nightmares and flashbacks. I want you to know I'm here for you Holly or anyone else if you need to talk.
Take Good Care!
Wendy
