I am a rape survivor. The abuse stopped in 2010. But here recently I have found that the reprocussions have started now. I have a chance with my significant other for a real future and I am struggling. I don't feel like I am worth more than I am now. And I don't want to continue the pattern

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
But I feel it is about control and ego. The guy who attacked me - well from what i gathered from the attack he was turned on by S and M style sex, but it seemed that he wanted it to be more 'real' by me not being willing. ( Indeed I was never willing to do anything with him let alone S and M) He wanted to be completely in control and do what he wanted.
I will never know why fully he felt the need to do this. But control seems to be the driving force for these people.
no idea.
my ex is the only "abuser" i know. the others were strangers...when i asked him "why"...his answer was, "i thought that if i got you pregnant, you wouldn't leave me"...??
he knew that i had been "abused" before (during our relationship)...and he promised he'd never do this to me...but when i told him i wanted "out" he felt the NEED to do this to make me stay?
it's confusing. and i agree with Vanity...i don't think we'll ever REALLY KNOW what's going through their minds...we'll never REALLY KNOW the reasons "why"...
and i am trying to figure out why people can do this...
is it because of the theory of the "will to power"?(when someone will do absolutely anything to gain control)
or is it beacuse they were abused themselves and maybe still are?
or is it because of an exposure to rape pronography?
i dont know.....these things run through my head
