Possibly Triggering - Big Step for me....

[A*Broken*Butterfly]

Yesterday, I was finally able to confide in my mother about sexual abuse I had experienced six years earlier by two family members. It took me six years to even bring up with someone, and now I'm so glad that I did.

It was so tough, experiencing doubt that she would believe me, having fear bubble back up to the surface, and all in all feeling horrible about myself and what had happened. I managed to tell her through streaming tears, it had been bugging me for awhile now, and was even affecting my dreams. It has brought me closer to her.

I was nine what it had happened, and my mom expressed how she wished I would've went to her earlier. In the end, I feel so much relief, a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. It's still tough, don't get me wrong, but now I have someone to help me through it.

****And during all of this, I was able to hold back on cutting. Which I was very proud and surprised of myself. ^_^ So, I suppose it has been a few weeks since my last cut.

And I thought this may help someone to get out there and talk to someone. The fear you may have is immense, but the people are there for you...even ones you may not have expected. *hugs to all* :)

Thanks so much! ^_^ *huggles*

Reading everyone's comments made me smile and keeps me going. I sure didn't feel brave while I was telling her, but I can see how much I actually was now. =)
