? What good has come from your abuse.

If you had to state one good thing that came as a result of your abuse what would it be.

For me it made me a very aware of the need to protect children and adults from abuse. Because of this I know i have made difference in some peoples lives and I have prevented some kids from being abused.

I know this may be a stupid question but as always i am curious how others think and feel about their abuse.

Its not a stupid question. I try to turn it into a good thing to help others even though it still hurts. It has made me more aware of what can happen,i believe everything happens for a reason even if i dont know what the reason is.

I would have to say the only good thing that came out of it for me has been meeting all of the incredible people at Daily Strength and Pandys. I have some wonderful new friends and on-line friends that I cherish.

It gives an opportunity to hear what others have gone through and to help protect the innocent,it is important that peole know they are not alone on some island .

it's made me aware of what's really in the world, and the need to be vigilant and careful. and it gives me perspective--a place to start understanding what other people go through.

It's not a stupid question, but hand on heart I have to say absolutely nothing.
I'm sorry if that makes anyone feel sad, but that's how I feel

I have an incredible sense of empathy for people. I think something happened that made me hate to see anyone besides myself get hurt. thats not so good cause I worry so much and don't take care of myself, but the abillity to empathize is good.

Nothing. I'm not stronger, better or smarter.

He robbed me of my childhood. He stole irreplaceable innocents. He stole a major part of my life and his actions continue to harm me in my adult life.

He's hurt others. He's done the same to them as he did to me.

He is a monster and deserves no compassion.

He didn't do me any favors. He has done me no "good"... only harm.
