my letter to my abuser - for my therapy session
i remember everything that happen to me at the age of six when i lived with you. i remember sharing the bed with you. i remember you pressing up on my me. i remember you pushing my head down under the covers. i remember you making me perform oral sex on you. i remember telling you "no" and asking you to stop. you never stopped. i remember uncle timmy watching from across the room and not saving me from you. i remember you threatening me if i were to tell my grandmother, your mother, on you. i remember you drawing pictures of me and you having sex. you drew this picture of me on my knees in front of you. i see that image of me everyday. i remember you urinating on me. i remember the smell of you and sex.
i want you to know that your xxx actions devastated my life. i became fearful. i became doubtful. i became extremal. i became sad. i have problems maintaining personal relationships. i feel odd. i am an outsider. i don't think anyone likes me. i think i'm ugly. i think everyone is laughing at me all the time. i spend too much time alone - it's not good. i have more negative chatter inside than positive. i often wished i had never been born. i once thought of taking my own life. i didn't because suicide is a considered a sin in the bible. i thought what would be the purpose of taking my own life if the only place i would be going is hell. i feel like i'm already there. i struggled through school. i struggled with the law and drinking. i struggled with work. i struggle with boundaries. i don't know how to say "no" when i mean to. i let people take advantage of me. i'm passive. i struggle with my sexuality. i feel worthless.
i feel like a dirty wet rag that someone keeps throwing away over and over and over again. it's all because of what you did to me at an innocent age of 6 years old. i was a child. i had no idea what sex was about. i wasn't suppose to know at that time. i was suppose to have fun and play. no one ever wanted to play with me because i was strange. i wasn't like most kids. you made things for me confusing and difficult to cope with. i hated myself. i was ashamed of myself.
your xxx actions has impeded my own maturing process. the world seems to be spinning too fast and i'm moving too slow. i don't feel like i'm ever going to catch up. i'm very quiet. i don't speak up for myself. no one hears me. i'm filled with all this self doubt. i have no confidence. i'm always second guessing myself. i worry too much - a lot. people can see it on my face. i'm angry and bitter. i frighten easily. i'm not balanced, and people either feel sorry for me or avoid me.
i mentioned my sexuality. i'm not sure who i am suppose to be with. i'm a guy, i know i am suppose to be with women. i don't feel worthy of them. i'm afraid to pursue them because i'm afraid to have sex with them. i'm not confident that i can perform well because of my passive nature. i hate the idea of being with men. i wanted to be married and have children by now. i wanted to be loved. i don't think i ever felt that.
school and work have been problems for me. i have a hard time concentrating. i give up easily. it takes me a long time to accomplish most tasks in my life. it's frustrating. it's insane that i feel like i have to write out a list of things i have to do everyday for the rest of my life just to move forward. my life is suppose to be much more than this - i believe. i see it being much more, but i'm having a hard time reaching for it. i feel like i'm in this hole and i can see the top. i'm trying to reach and climb, but that top seems to be growing higher and higher. i jut don't get it.
i want you to know what you did to me. i still feel like a child. i'm not growing. no woman wants a man-child and no one wants to hang around a man-child. you know most of my friends are much younger or much older than me. i think i choose them so sex won't be apart of the friendship equation, but then i look like a freak to my peers. i'm not feeling like a winner right now in this stage of my life. i've never felt like a winner. i know i'm capable of being a winner, but my mind is placing a lot of obstacles in my path. i spend too much time in my mind and not enough time in my heart.
