Hi


Recommended Posts

Hi. . .I guess since I've already started posting I'd better actually introduce myself. My name is Daniella and I'm both an abuse survivor and a secondary survivor.

I was raped at 17 in college and then trapped in a domestic violence situation for a very long time. I've done very well with my recovery, for the most part. Therapy helped.

Now I find myself a secondary survivor in that my boyfriend is a sexual abuse survivor with PTSD. I'm doing my best to be a good support but sometimes that's easier said than done. :blink:

So sad when you realize too late that you are being abused. I didn't actually think that my kids dad was abusive til I had been with him for about 3 years. I just thought he was mean. Didn't think I deserved it, but didn't really think it warranted calling it abuse. My sis told me what he did was rape, but I never fought with him. Just told him I didn't want to sometimes I would push him away, but he didn't seem to care........... anyway I thought if you didn't fight it isn't rape. Sorry I am rambling, but seeing people here around the age I was when this all started got me to thinking about it.
