I remember when those thoughts first started running through my head, i was panicking about my son. i thought, "what am i going to tell my son?" i couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel. me son were only 12 when i had to tell him that his dad had raped and abused me, and that's how he were born. he didn't want to be the person who he was. he didn't want to be in his own skin. i blamed meself. i felt so stupid. my bruises healed...my mind didn't. we both felt so alone, and there was nowhere for us to turn. there must be others out there feeling the same way.
