About 9 yrs ago, i first told about my abuse. For the past 9 years,i have talked about it off & on, but never faced it or dealt with my issues from it. But the past year & 1/2, i have finally taken some steps in dealing with it & some people (friends & family) don't seem to understand why i am having such a tough time right now. To them, i have been dealing with it for a long time & to them, it happened a long time ago, so i get the feeling that they think i am just looking for problems or being a drama queen type. My counselor, husband, & best friend understand, but i can tell other people close to me are just getting fed up with me being emotional or depressed (including my mom). I try to explain it, but it's like they tune me out or just don't care. Maybe it's just the subject makes people uncomfortable? Does anyone else have problems with this?

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.

i'm not sure if this is the case with everyone, but it is a possibility.
Or maybe i'm just so used to being abused that i seek drama to feel normal?
Or maybe my acceptance level is very high b/c of my abuse so i tend to surround myself with difficult situations?
but i do know that i am terified of ppl in my life knowing what i've been through....b/c i don't want them to think i'm a freak =/
it is EXPRESSLY WITH OUT A DOUBT NOT what i do with the abuse i had growing up. i will avoid drama on that issue at almost all cost. b/c it is painful.
I hope that oneday if i explain this to ppl in my life it will help them to understand me
