whirl3daway Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 My posts reveal my true life story: Witnessing your real father stick a knife in your mother's eye, being molested by your stepdad, having your mom choose your sexual abuser over you, being bullied by racist whites, being raped again by your Indian exboyfriend in adulthood, and having your one best friend die recently(especially when it was someone that showed you what unconditional acceptance was). Now, I'm a woman just trying to live a happy life, despite what's happened in the past. I'm not trying to play victim, but showing what my core is. I can't hide where I came from, but I'm in control of where I'm going. If you all want to think I'm crazy for just trying to make sense of traumatic events, so be it. Interestingly enough, you and I have a lot in common here. I also grew up with an abusive father who loved beating up on my mom and sexually abused me. I've experienced a lot of racism and other various nonsense. Therapy has been truly wonderful for me to see through the haze - I hope you are doing this/have done this as well. We cannot help our backgrounds, but we can certainly help who we are now. Hugs to you. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Seductive Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Thank you,whirl. My therapist and a few other good friends told me to stay away from this forum in particular. There is one woman's forum that I think is healthy, supportive and Comfortable with emotion, but I feel loveshack has its share of gaslighting and emotional dismissal. There's nothing wrong with some of the male posters being a certain way,but it doesn't mesh with my personality. I did request to have this thread closed, especially when I revealed incidents that are very difficult for other posters to process(rape, child sexual abuse, and violence towards women).
