On Forest Gump, He bulldozes the house that Jenny was abused in. Have any of you gone back to the place where the abuse took place? Is it more harm than good to go back?
I went back to the house where my abuse started. It helpped me to know it wasn't imaginary. This house really was there. The window my stepfather busted out was right there. The neihbors were still there too. They were always calling the cops. Trying to get me over to play.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I'm way more likely to be triggered by an event that involves a typical "fight or flight" reaction, like somebody road-raging me or yelling at me or something like that.

I've been back to the house, I felt numb there...a little weird, like I wanted to get out of there.
Have no need to go back now, don't think I ever will. Though, mine was all SA...all hidden, secretive.
What an A-hole he is.
was it helpful? felt like i was going through it again.
I grew up in a small town, so I should be able to remember the street name ... but it's just not there. I have no idea where that house is. My abuser doesn't live there anymore anyway.
No, I haven't been back (physically) although I'm there frequently in my mind. I hate that house. I wish it would burn.
The thing that keeps me going is that my ex-husband (the culprit) is in living hell now. He's remarried and his 15 year old step daughter lives with him and his new wife and he hates the daughter! For someone who didn't want kids, this is perfect karma....
Plus for some reason I keep thinking about that song INDEPENDANCE DAY. I think in the video a house is burnt down.
Just thought some kind of revenge would be nice. I wish I could sue my abuser for my medical bills and more. Maybe even the Child services too. They visited me over and over and never felt inclined to move me out of there. I know it is just dreaming but it is better than the nightmares.
I have dreamed about beating my abusers back. Felt good. I cried because it realesed so much anger.
