my empire of dirt...

I'm tired of pretending it didn't happen. i've trained myself into believing nothing happened, when infact it did.
From the ages of eight to ten i was abused, by my uncle. i never said anything, i never did anything and to this day i have never told a living soul, until now of course. it's always easier to tell strangers,a void.because no matter what you think of me it ultimately won't matter. I've held it back and held it back, and i simply can't anymore.i can't. I feel like there's a time bomb in my head and it's waiting to go off. It's been there for years. years. forget my adolescent whinging about my parents, my homelife, school, college, because none of that matters to me not really, i don't care. My parents are adults, and school's over. but it's easier to blame the trivial things for the way you feel. i don't know if you've seen the film monster when aileen wurnos (not that i'm promoting a serial killer, but it was quite an interesting thing to say)
'that's how it's always been in my life, it's the stomach churning things, things you can't even imagine you get over, it's the little things that hurt the most'
something like that anyway. that's true.i find it easier to blame my hurt and my pain and and my anger on things that are completely trivial.
my boyfriend split up with me. we're back together.we've split up. we're back together.i dodged school, i went to school. my friends are talking about me. the whole worlds against me. blah blah blah....
it's bullshit, because the only thing in my life that really hurts is what he did to me, my repulsion at him, myself and the world.
he was a heavy smoker, he reeked of tobbacco.i'm a heavy smoker, he was a weirdo/loner and so am i. so did he rub off on me? am i just as bad as him? i think so, i didn't do anything, i didn't scream, i didn't refuse, i was so passive.
and all i can think is when i look in the mirror is, 'you are a whore'
i'm horrible internally i am a horrible human being.and though many will say, 'you were a child' i've never once in my life been a child, never. yes, sexually i was innocent of course, the logical side tells me to get angry at HIM, but i can't help it.i can't, because feeling guilty always indicates that you've done something wrong.
so when everyone says i'm a freak
and i'm a waster
and a loser and disgusting
they are absoloutely right.That's exactly what i am.

theres nothing you should be ashamed about.
i think you should speak to a therapist about this.
you can be doing yourself no favors if you choose to view yourself as repugnant. i am very sorry. best of luck to you.

    Can't be to blame (Score:1)
    Your Uncle is to blame, you're not culpable in any way whatsoever. Look at it this way, if you feel that you are in some way responsible, then what that feeling is saying is that any child in the world anywhere who has been abused (who nearly all end up feeling the same as you do about it) was to blame and that the law in every country in the world that deems sexually abusing children an offence and punishes the people like your Uncle who do it, is somehow mistaken and there's no such thing as a sex-offender. So which is more likely, that your guilty feelings are right and whole rest of the world is wrong? Or that your guilty feelings are wrong, a lie, caused by the abuse, in that all the world's other abused people feel them too, and the law in the rest of the world is right? So you have the views of rest of the world on your side. I realise it's hard for words to make a dent in such feelings as feelings are stronger than reason usually, but maybe if you try and remember it like that when you start to criticise yourself, you may at least find a point of objective detachment from them.

      inbuilt guilt (Score:1)
      i know that if a child came to me and told me they were abused, of course i'd hold the adult responsible, because they are, there is no doubt.
      But my perception of myself has always been messed up anyway, i find it easier to blame myself.And although i am well aware, logically, that i can't hold myself responsible for what happened my feelings of guilt are so strong.i find it hard to live with myself. perhaps therapy may be a better idea, i've seen theapists before, but not throughs choice and for completely different reasons.
