You did nothing wrong. None of this was your fault. Both the abusers are the ones to blame. They are the ones that carry the shame. Not you. Don't ever forget that.

I send you healing energy, Marie.

Healing is possible
by: Anonymous

Dear Marie,
U CAN heal from all the CRIMES that were committed against u. Get a good therapist who is supportive of u and of the fact that U DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG!! If not, be your own therapist and give yourself tons of the support u deserve, or find a trustworthy person to talk to, a lot.

I am P o S I T I v E that u did absolutely nothing to cause these men to harm u. I bet, if they know how guilty u feel, they are THRILLED about u taking THEIR guilt on YOUR shoulders! When the exact opposite is true. Please don't do anything to harm yourself during the time it takes, which could be years, for u to realize this basic basic truth. Because the world needs people like u, people who tell on perverts like your abusers, instead of letting them thrive and probably commit more crimes, in the shadows. Bring their abuse into the light, to whatever extent is safe, along with bringing your own innocence into the light. Keep thinking about why u didn't do anything wrong but just were unlucky enough to have terrible CRIMINALS prey on u, which is exactly what happened,Marie!

I wish u all good things this holiday season,but most of all the beginning of healing, and an endless amount of love.
