The paedophile who tired to use me as a human sex toy, tired to have me killed to try and cover up their crimes, when that didn't work they tired to cover up their crimes with pornography.
Has anything similar happened to anyone else?
-
My situation isn't similar, so I don't fully relate. I just know that trauma is never ok for any person or persons to do unto another person. This I can relate...with this I can undoubtedly say, you did not deserve this.
Know that I sit with you and support you, Stephenjames. Safe hugs to you, if ok.

My Psychotic Sister ripped all my hair out then tried to have me killed...

Can anyone explain to me what a 'trigger' is?
-
Hello James!
So a trigger is something that makes one associate or get flashback to an unpleasant memory or feeling. For example, let's say you'd been bullied in school. Then you read a text about bullies in school, and you start to get feelings from that time or instant memories.
Hence, trigger warnings are to make sensitive readers aware of what is ahead, so they can prepare themselves or avoid that specific content if preferred.

Hiya @WannaMoveOn
Apologies for the delay in my reply. Many thanks for replying to my post.
Thanks for explaining to me what a 'trigger' is.
I have been working on triggers with a new Psychological Therapist who works for the NHS via the local Mental Health Team. She explains it the same way as you do although I was asking her what happens to the brain chemistry with a trigger.
I had a terrible incident on the morning of my 23rd birthday where a 'offender' triggered me on purpose which caused something to happen to my brain that I just can't explain and for 24 years have had Doctors unable to explain to me or offer me any treatment that actually worked or made a difference.
I guess what I am trying to ask is once someone has been triggered, how do they 'un-trigger' themselves? If that makes any sense to you?
Thanks once again for explaining what triggers are, most appreciated.

I told my Psychological therapist today that I tried to scream out that night when I was 17. Made me almost feel like a human being again.

Many thanks @Finchy for you kind words of support. One step at a time in recovery I guess. Just wish I had of screamed my head off that night when I was 17.
@WannaMoveOn, its early days for me. Mostly its just CBT and talking therapy. Just wished I had of used that 'Primal Scream' technique that night when I was 17, could have saved my own life and my mental health.

I was only 18 years old! I had my entire life ahead of me!...

Many grateful thanks @WannaMoveOn @Pink Sky @Finchy @broken_but_trying @feralcat and @orangegiraffe for you very kind words of support.
Very sorry @broken_but_trying for what happened to you age 17. Such a waste of life to be treated like that at such a young age. Lives are ruined my thoughtless people acts of depravity.
Wishing you all well

Sexual abuse is pure evil that ruins lives....

Thank you @mini.finch for your thoughtful reply. I wish no one had to suffer such things.

They brain-washed me!
-

I'm finding it difficult to process all the information from all the s*xual ab*se, wish people would leave me alone...

Many thanks for your kind words of support @MeBeMary

They ripped all my hair out to make me too ugly to ever have a girlfriend..

Thank you @WannaMoveOn for your kind words of support. I guess having hair on a mans head isn't the be-all-and end-all in a healthy relationship. I was only 18, they did it to humiliate me.
My paranoid and mentally ill Sister was threatening to commit suicide if I ever got a girlfriend. My Policeman Father and his drinking friends set me up. I find it all very distressing to say the least.
I wish you well with your boyfriend. Many thanks once again.

Ripping hair our counts as physical abuse in my country.
If this affected your hair growth, I understand it must be a painful reminder, but you can meet a loving person no matter that. When we truly love someone, we see the beauty in the person inside and out.
How nice of you to wish me luck! Btw, wrote wrong, he is in his upper 20´s 😄 Almost 30.

Hi @WannaMoveOn
I didn't realise what they were doing counted as physical abuse at the time. It was done by the Police, so I didn't really have anyone to ask for help. When I went to the health service, they laughed in my face.
I will have to try and seek legal advise, maybe there is something that can be done about these corrupt Policeman.
They turned me into a basket case when I was 16-18. I really did want to get married and have children but I fear I am over the hill these days. I find it very upsetting to think of what they did to me for fun.
I wish you and your boyfriend a very happy future together.
Many thanks for all your kind help!
Stephenjames.

Many thanks @Field8 & @mini.finch for your kind words in reply to status update. They set up all their s*xual ab*se scams to make sure that I never have children which makes it even worse.
-
Hi @Field8 thank you for taking the time to reply to my status update. Sorry to hear of your pain and upset of having the chance to have children taken away from you, I know how hard and upsetting that is. Wishing you well, take care.

I'm sick of the abuse...
-
Thank you @MeBeMary for your kind words of support and understanding, very kind of you.
I too hope that I can fight for freedom from this terrible abuse.
Once again thanks for your support, much appreciated.
