tw abuse

I spent yesterday with my Dad. He travelled all the way from the East to me, braving the replacement busses. We had a delicious lunch at a local cafe and I updated him on how I’m going. I finally told him what my mum said to me, that has coloured all my experiences since I was 14. And he said it was unforgivable. We commiserated about how we were victims of her abuse, and he said that it’s okay if people don’t understand because he understands. It was cathartic, exactly what the small scared child in me needed. I messaged my cousin (mums niece) on Facebook , and told her I what Pop did to me. She can do what she wants with that information, as she is a mum to two kids. I don’t expect anything from her or to believe me, but I felt I needed to say something (something I wish someone had done for me).

I’m feeling scared, but more confident that I can be okay and eventually even happy.
