One
of the hardest things for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to
overcome is the sense of guilt and self blame that we feel as
adults. Often we will use survivor support forums, trying to
help each other, yet because of the guilt and shame we feel
inside... we feel different... feeling that in every other case
it was not their fault but in our own case it was. Unfortunately
the more we have these feelings the more nightmares and
flashbacks we tend to have.
In this section
we will try to look at some of the many things that can bring
about these feelings. Many will probably be triggering and hard
to read... so please only read them if you feel in a safe place,
and strong enough to cope.
Apart from a few
words that are splatted to stop the pages been listed in search
engines for the wrong reasons... most of the articles are not splatted.

two of us were abused and sometimes I was glad when it was them
and not me.
