A Child Abuse Survivors Group Community Group
We survived child abuse, but the pain still remains and so do the other effects which can last a lifetime. We are often unable to find adequate help, and we are seeking answers that can help us understand what happened so that we can go on to lead normal lives.

Hello. i'm kind of new to the whole support group thing. but i know i have got to get help some how; and shareing and talking about what I have been through seems to help. so instead of me coping and pasting my very long journal entry about myself just go chevk out my first two journal entries to read about me. i think they are titled " Gonna try this, about me" and " More about me". I sufferd more emotional abuse than physical. It was there believe me but the emotional abuse has really messed me up. So thanks for reading.
Many of us find that because our memories of past abuse is so painful and because so many of us actively repress our memories, frequently the best way to talk about it is in small pieces. This can lessen the pain of remembering for us. We can then stitch the small pieces together to form our story.
Emotional abuse can be difficult because the scars don't show but the pain is nonetheless real. Talking about it can help with the healing process. What also helps is discovering that in spite of what happened to you in the past, you can still go on to lead a fulfilling life. There is still sunshine and happiness around us and inside us. There is still much to celebrate in life.
