I've realised today that what I went through when I was younger until I was 17 and beyond was emotional abuse and neglect. Because I've never really talked about my experiences until very recently I've made it okay in my head. I knew it wasn't normal but I didn't fully understand how awful it was. It's only seeing others reactions that have made me see it for what it was. Constantly being made to feel unloved and inferior. And now I'm in a similar place in my relationship. Not the inferior bit though I think. But still not having that belief in myself that I'm worthy of love and will find love again.
I've never thought of myself as abused and now it's hit me like a runaway train.
I work with people who have suffered abuse and now I'm one of them.
