If you get abused, for years, then open the window and run away… you did not get away, you never will.
I was abused from my mother, and for over 8 years in school, by my “comrades”. I was not just beaten physicaly, by punches, kicks and more. Also mental abuse was daily routine in my life, till i was 17. Since the last time this happened, 25 years are gone, but i still did not get away from this experience. I still have much problems with selfdoubts, depressions and still flirting with suicide from time to time. There are days, maybe weeks, where i am not troubled with it and life a happy life, but it always crawls back in my mind, gnaw away my confidence and put me back on the ground.
So no, there is no getting away from abuse. It will stay with you, for all you life.

Totalmente de acuerdo hermano :pensive::pensive: me paso parecido pero muy niño con 5 años ya me llamaban el rarito solo por cuestionarme las cosas, jamás e tenido un amigo real :skull: a los 24 años me dio un brote sicótico y agredi a 5 policías nacionales…" pensé y disfruté :sweat_smile: " pero todo tuvo sus consecuencias negativas, no me pueden ir preso porque estaba en estado psicológicamente mal :exploding_head::grimacing::woozy_face: aunque creo que fue peor me ingresaron 1 año 2 meses y 16 días en un manicomio. Estuve atado dos semanas :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:. Y lo peor ( y totalmente ilegal) 2 meses y medio aislamiento en un cuarto sin luz solo oscuro y mis pensamientos.
Hoy día con 45 años :sleepy: … hace mucho tiempo que estoy muerto en vida…solo espero que llegue el momento que demuestre:
No seré malo, solo el monstruo que habéis creado :shushing_face:
Un abrazo fuerte compañero

You are absolutely right. Abuse leaves a deep, rooted mark on us no matter what. It is this shadow that keeps on running after you, no matter how much you try to run away from it yourself. As you’ve described so well, there are times when you won’t even think of it, and others when it will come at you unexpectedly all over again. It leaves an impact on so many aspect of your life, of your own being, that it makes it hard to see how a life could be possible beyond it. It’s heart-shattering and utterly discouraging at times, and I’m personally sitting right there with you on this journey.

Although it makes it difficult to dissociate the trauma and abuse from who we are, I think it is still important to hold on to that truth as much as we can. We are not our trauma. We are not just the sum of consequences of others violence and hatred. We are who we are, despite what happened, but we are uniquely ours too. The depression, the nightmares, the physical pain don’t define any of our worth, of our potential, of the possibility for us to reinvent ourselves. The abuse leaves a mark and becomes a part of our story, but it doesn’t hold the absolute power of being us. We are so much more. You are so much more than what happened to you. :heart:
