While making love, getting a massage, or using your body in a new way. When you child reaches the age you were when abused. Sometimes I think I am going to die from the sadness. Not that anyone ever died from crying for two hours, but it sure feels like it. Then I get angry.
Anger is a natural response to abuse.
When I become angry, it is because I know I'm worth being anger about. Anger can motivate us to take actions and guides us toward positive change. Fight to change the laws that protect abusers in your state. It's not enough to know you were abused. You also have to change your life.
