victims of abuse support for submissives

[Trina]

Hi Mastersgem, I have been seeing a therapist for sometime now but I do think the cycle continues and is very hard to break. The ramifications for me are definitly low self-image, esteem and worth. I laughed when my therapist asked me to bring my father for a group session. I am one of five siblings all of whom have been stilited as adults; it doesn't take a genius to figure something must have gone wrong with the way we were raised. My father was an expert on mental and never physical.
I do think the mental abuse is harder for me... physically the bruises go away and you forget; it's what has been said that doesn't go away.

Thanks for your comments and I've been working toward getting whole.

mental abuse is the worst. it never leaves you... un like the physical abuse like where u say the bruises and other stuff will disappear. mental abuse stays with you for life. one learns to live with it... and then something will trigger the memories off.. it could be an action or the way something was said.. then you regress back into your own little world.

"See? You're an intelligent girl, you can see the problems plaguing you, do you really think you need help?"

The one time I did seek help, that is what I was asked by the 'professional' psychiatrist.

I, (then (25), just lost my baby son and had been beaten by his father blaming me of the loss), said "Yes, I do"

He never took me seriously so thus, I took a maybe longer road of trying to work it out on my own - truly nothing really 'set' in me of my worth until having my daughter

I've learned over much time, that some things (and the professionals will all tell you), just need to be hard felt and learned to get.

Breaking 'The Chain' is a lot of work but so highly worth it.

I currently 'shelter' a young friend (day or night on Any notice) should she need a safe place to be and have had to - that's all part of it too
