New, Trying To Be Brave!


Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone! I'm new here, and have never participated in anything like this before. I'm a 41 year old mother of 3, and feel like I should have a better grip on my life by now. But about 6 months ago, I started having flashbacks, dreams and memories of abuse by my grandfather that I never was aware of before. I'm really struggling with why all of this is happening now, and feel like my life is falling apart. I'm really hoping to connect with other people who have experienced similar things as I have, so maybe I won't feel so alone and like I'm losing my mind.

Thanks, again, everyone for the warm welcome. I am feeling the love! lol Anyway, it's one of those nights where I can't sleep because I just can't shut off my brain and stop thinking about everything. All of these new memories are so disturbing, I'm finding it so hard to believe that things like this could have happened to me and I had no idea until now. I can't wrap my mind around the fact that I blocked so much out. And every time I have a new memory, it's so much worse than the one before. I'm afraid of what is still to come. How much worse could it get? I really should write it all out and share my story, get the details out so it doesn't seem so scary and secret, but I'm not sure I'm ready to see it in black and white yet.

Ok, so after reading so many people's stories, and seeing how courageous and strong everyone here is, I'm going to write it all out in the Share Your Story forum. I appreciate your support and will welcome any thoughts.
