Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From KC

by KC
(Location Undisclosed)




I am a 20 year old female who suffered over ten years of emotional and physical abuse from my step mother. She was originally my baby sitter from the time I was almost 2 til I was almost 16, and ran away.

I didnt realize how much I thought about what happened and how it effected my everyday living. I have 2 children and am pregnant with my 3rd. I have a loving and understanding partner now, who is always there for me.

I decided I was going to talk to someone about my anxiety and sleeping issues. They diagnosed me with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

After doing some research, I finally felt relief knowing that is was actually "something", not just me thinking I was crazy.

I have made an appointment with my therapist and hope to do some major changing and getting control back of my life.

I applaud and commend you for realizing you need help with all that happened to you in your childhood. Go into the process recognizing that you will have work to do, grueling work, but work that will reap the benefits. I speak from experience. Though it was emotionally draining to finally allow myself to feel all the emotions I'd buried deep inside, it was also amazingly liberating. Trust the process, but also take care with your pregnancy. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
