You were taken advantage of. It has absolutely nothing to do with who you are, and everything to do with who your attacker/s are.
The ABUSER is bad, not the victim.
I don't know why, but shame and guilt seem to be key emotions for the victims. Gets me, when the shame and guilt clearly lie with the abusers.
Please, hold on to the fact that you can, and will, survive this. You will rise above it and say 'no more' to being the victim. Whether your abuser/s are taken to task or not, you will 'pay them back' by surviving.
Your counsellor is correct with what they say. You are ok, a wonderful person, with as much right to love and be loved as anyone else on this earth.
