hi i'm calum a new member to this group I hope this goes to the right place: I have never really spoken about this before only to a few psychiatrists and a couple of close friends . the abuse started from a very early age my abuser wasn't just satisfied sexually abusing me he also enjoyed mental torture and physical pain things like tying my hands behind my back laying me down on the floor bringing my feet up to wear my hands were to tie them together and then would put the peace of very fine fishing twine through my mouth and tie that to my feet and hands so if I relax that wind would cut through the sides of my mouth he then placed me in a cupboard under the stairway he would regularly drag me out from the cupboard and start to kick and punch me I was only allowed to eat the scraps of food he would leave on his plate if any at all: he managed in the many years this went on for to break my ankle twice and my wrists this carried on until I was 14 years of age I started to cut myse with razor blades and push sewing needles through my arms And legs at the age of 12: when I was about 11 years old he took me into prostitution where he would get paid for providing me to the many different men that wanted a piece of me. as a result of what I have written down here and much more that I can't bring myself to write down i still continue the self harm and the self hatred of myself this person continues to affect me every waking hour. |

You poor thing i am so very, very sorry for what
has happened to you and you have nothing but my sympathy and hope for a better
future. We are all here to help you in any way we can. One thing
that is important is for you to discuss this either online with one of us or
with a professional councellor face to face or in fact both. We are here

Love

I have rarely read something so utterly horrific. I so very much appreciate your openness and ability to express something so incredibly intimate about your life. I also congratulate you for your will to pull through this incredibly emotional scar. Though I do not want to ask you to create more emotional pain by writing about something that you do not feel comfortable writing about, perhaps you can tell us what keeps you going throughout your day? What helps you to attain some sort of happiness and trust in other people as well as intimate relationship now? Brandon |

hi Calum what happened to you was absolutely terrible. But you need to recover from the effects of this abuse. Do not hate yourself because anything that happened to you is not your fault but that of your cruel abuser. However the mental scars inflicted would be absolutely terrible. I was thinking really that visualization healing might help. This would consist of visualizing god going back into the painful incidents hugging you and filling you with his healing love. People who do this sort of healing repeatedly get a lot of help from it. Also if you could get some literature on healing your inner child that would really improve things for you. It would be necessary to build up self esteem also and one of the ways of doing this recommended by an experienced therapist is to start praising yourself for everything that you do no matter how small. The cultivation of a healing attitude toward yourself would be helpful. You could view yourself as a person who has been seriously injured psychologically and give yourself the care attention and help that you would give to somebody else in that position. When you are beating down it is very helpful to sing along with your favorite music as this is a good way of doing the spirits. I hope and pray that everything gets better for you Soon. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis |
