One of the most difficult thing to do when you come from a dysfunctional family is to talk about what you have gone through. Most automatically assume that you are talking about your miseries because you are on a mission to gather sympathies.. and then there is the fact that you need to keep fighting for your innocence, again because it is assumed that somehow all that happened to you was because you did something wrong. It is inconceivable to most people that bad things can happen to good people.
I am not a victim. I am a survivor.. I write, not because I need sympathy, but because I know I am not alone. There are so many people out there who will never be able to tell a soul what they have gone through. I want them to know they are not alone..
