It is so unfair Jennifer. Especially the part where we are harmed by people and systems that were supposed to help us. Facing so much pain and suffering makes me question the meaning of life everyday. I have no answer but I feel like I have to keep going to see what happens in the end.
Thank you Dana. You are so right about not letting everything we’ve done to survive be in vain. I too struggle with the fact that I cannot fix me, despite trying so hard. I feel like a massive failure as a human being. But all we can do is keep going and trying… If you ever want to talk more, please e-mail me at [email protected]

Bill Bradford, this is so kind of you. Thank you. At this point I am still very detached from my own story. I remember the memories, but I do not feel them. Logically I find my story hard to believe too, and I even doubt myself. But thank God I have old photographs, scars, medical records, letters and other “evidence”, so the truth of the story is not actually questionable. Still, it’s hard to accept. It is especially hard to accept the existence of bad people who do evil things. Sadly they are out there, and psychiatry helps them by silencing their traumatised victims.
Anyway, your comment means a lot. Blessings to you.
Thank you, I really appreciate your prayers.
I found those links very interesting, especially the interview regarding Freud’s betrayal of his patients. The subject of not believing or even blaming the abuse victims, especially women and children, is talked about in Judith Herman’s book “Trauma and Recovery”. I found it very eye-opening.
God bless you too.
