Feeling is the worst part
Sexual abuse undermines a persons voice
My voice of NO!, the voice of fight was never respected. Rather than fighting I choose flight. Numbness became a safe place to hide. This lack of emotional response is not good my friends. Instead of being filled with love based feelings one is left with a cluster-pile of fear.
Fear-based emotions: Anxiety, anger, control, sadness, depression, inadequacy, confusion, hurt, lonely, guilt, shame
An angry face is suppose to look >:(.For some reason my angry face is confused with sad face
“Why am I so angry”?
- Instead of politely knocking on my closed-door, he would just barge in
- Stolen innocence at a very young age
- Absolutely No boundary
- smothering
- Disrespect for who I am and my feelings
- Manipulation, guilt trips, pity party’s and mind games
- Controlling everything
- Overreacting to silliness
- The luminous feeling of being stalked in my own home
- Lack of privacy
- Not saying what I want/need to say
- Being abandoned and lied to
