realization after seeing a post on sex abuse (triggering)

The other day I read a post on the subject of older men and young teenage girls. I can't remember the title of the post but lots of women commented. It was a real wake up call for me,
I have realized that I have spent a great deal of my time feeling sorry for myself, Not that I belittle the abuse I suffered, but compared to what has happened to others and reading their stories I feel that I 'got off lightly'.
Today I took myself to bed feeling like a dejected fat ugly mess and howled.
I am in my fifties and have always blamed myself.
After reading the post I have begun to see things very differently.
From now on I am going to put myself first and give myself respect.
I will stop poisoning myself with crap food and slowly killing myself.
I intend to bring myself back to health and be a good role model.
I have always tried my best but always felt second best if that makes sense.
I want to thank the women that wrote honestly about their lives and encourage anyone who didn't read the post to do so.
Please do not use this post for a newspaper.

OP I'm on the journey with you.

You did not deserve this and are not to blame.
Tell yourself this every day.
Keep on loving yourself. You get angrier, you get stronger.

Massive respect FlowersBrew
