Therapist considering discharging me

@frouke child abuse - whether sexual, physical or emotionsl - cannot be waved away. It makes me so angry to watch abusers get away with it and lead their lives like nothing ever happened while the abused are left traumatized for life. I can relate as have suffered all three but in my case, as an East Indian child living in an East Indian community I had nowhere to turn to because always the victim (especially if a girl) is blamed, and the matter is swept under the rug in order to preserve the family’s status in society.

I am so glad to know at least in your case you have had access to help of some sort, even if not from family. I hope and pray you will get some closure. You will never get over your trauma, but bringing the perpetrators to justice would help to bring some sort of closure - although that is easier said than done,

Rashida, I am truly sorry for the suffering you have endured, it’s heartbreaking that you were not able to be vindicated for your pain caused by abuse, as a survivor of this trauma it’s even worse that the abuse was caused by someone you know and trusted…I have lived a life fear, trust issues and anxiety and it’s made a huge impact in everything I’ve tried to do especially relationships, as a woman I never felt confident or worthy of being loved by anyone, I was often very bad to myself with substance abuse, anything to calm my anxiety and depression. I’ve struggled for some time now as to what I should do about this situation, at first I wanted to report the doctor but I couldn’t find the courage to do so, I did contact a random law firm and left a lengthy voicemail message detailing my concerns but they never responded back to me, eventually I retreated back into myself and after some time I decided to tell my story here to the people I have communicated with and see what they think about my situation. I’m not surprised that I was advised to go after the doctor after all it was my first thought but given the circumstances I face now with my physical and emotional health I knew that I wasn’t up for the challenge and were I to do so and it backfired l don’t think I would have handled it well. I’m hoping that the therapy I now am receiving will help me to come to terms with what has happened in the past and also the present, thank you for your support and know that you’re not alone and unloved.
