Demolition of the place I was abused TW

The place I was taken daily at times, as a teen girl, to be raped, has been demolished. It was started before covid and stopped because of it and restarted last year. I’ve just been informed that it is almost complete. The floor where it happened has already gone.

Of course I am happy about it but it’s brought up a lot of mixed emotions. I am glad it’s gone. It doesn’t affect the memories but knowing that dark room, that filthy mattress (which tbh was probably gone years ago, but now I know for sure), is no more.
I hurt a lot. That’s ok isn’t it?
I don’t know why I am posting really. Just want a hand hold I guess.

I guess no one knows what to say. I get that.

Oh OP. I can only imagine how many feelings that must have stirred up. Are you ok?

I’m expected to be happy and I am
It’s a good thing. It needed to be no more. But it isn’t closure. It is a physical building. Or was, closure has been a long long process. This has just stirred it all up and brought back hurt that I’ve laid to rest more or less.
I’m not ok. I will be but I am not right now. I don’t want to celebrate but feel I should.

Here for handholding Flowers

I understand not wanting to celebrate, it still happened to you and stirred up your feelings.
Hope you’re ok FlowersCake
