Well, first i want to thank everyone who offered support to me by leaving a comment on my last entry. Each one of you helped me greatly, and I thank and bless you. But I also have some big news to share. First, I have to relate a story, and forgive me if I have told it before: When I was 16 years old, I saw the movie "The Wall", and I became fascinated with the concept of having a wall. I then did something a little odd - I prayed to God to have my walls come down. Well, be careful what you pray for, to mangle a quote. I discovered that I didn't just have walls to keep others out. I had one to keep something in, and it came out with a vengeance when my walls came down. I saw it as an evil, alien presence, and it overwhelmed me. For two days, I was totally dissociative. I walked, i talked, but it was like i wasnt in control, and all i could hear in my head was this creature's "voice" threatening the people i love, and how it would be my fault. After the two days, I came back to myself, and closed up my wall again.

Well, I was telling this story to a friend online last night, and i had a major breakthrough. For the first time, I saw through what I had experienced at that moment, and saw the truth. It was from my rape. I now understand that the bastard
who raped me used my fear of getting my family hurt to control me. I had internalized that moment, and then buried it. So when I uncovered it, I saw it as some evil part of me ready to hurt those I love. But now i know that's not the case. It wasn't me. I wasnt the evil one, he was. I wasnt the one who was a threat to my family, he was. I was a child, he was an adult, and IT WASNT MY FAULT. After so long feeling guilty, it feels pretty good to realize that. But even so, I was left shaken, and was very emotional and shaky all night and most of today.

If we lived closer together, I'd come over and give you a hug.
As is, please accept a virtual hug from me. It wasn't your fault and you have nothing to feel guilty about.

Welcome

You have just discovered what healing is. That first understanding of who was the victim and who was the villain is the initial stage of taking your life back.
Hugs.
