Healing Journey

It is a new year. I have Complex PTSD. It's been one hellava journey for the past year.
I suffered sexual abuse as a child for five years, from the age of 7 until I was almost 12.
My older brother was five and half years older than me. He did most of the abuse, however, laptop of other older boys joined in.
I was physically abused. I was mentally abused.
I am now in therapy and my therapist told me that I survived by disassociation.

I find that by writing and sharing my story, it helps me to heal.
I've come a long way in nine months. Considering I was curled up in a fetal position, all alone and crying, just ten months ago.
I had no clue about what was happening to me.

I'm too tired to write more right now.
I've never used a blog before.

If anyone else is a survivor, and you want to share, please feel free.

I hope my blog will help you to know that you are not alone.
I tell myself that I survived the abuse, I will survive the healing.

Good night.
Stay strong.
