Affects of Sexual Abuse *TRIGGER WARNING*

One of the biggest struggle of healing from sexual abuse are intrusive thoughts of looking back and wonder if experiences that had gone wrong and added a whole lot of regrets, sadness, self hatred, etc, would have been avoided. Those you’ve hurt and lose because your behaviors were messed up based on effects of sexual abuse. It’s part of a long process to forgive yourself from what you have done. Can’t say it wasn’t my fault, because you really did hurt people. It drives one crazy trying to figure out if it would have been different. Some may say to learn from it and move on. It’s not that simple when again, unwanted thoughts are stuck in the head and heart.  Nevertheless, don’t quit the process of healing.  There will be better days.
