“Abuse humbles you!”

Nah. Well not me anyway. I can't speak for anyone else though. I'm broken beyond repair. Between CSA and parental violence and then domestic violence, I'm utter shit now. My life was abuse, torture, starvation, rape. As a kid, the only thing that got me through was by being chosen, I was saving someone else. But now? After everything. I'm broken and bitter. You know what it's like coming out of the other side of that, realizing no one helped you? Not because they didn't know. But because you weren't worth it. Try making excuses for everyone never helping you no matter how you begged and trying to wrap your head around it later on when you know better. It's not all sun shine and rainbows like people think. Its not like Hollywood where the bad guys go to jail and the victims move on and everything is beautiful. Life fucking sucks. And while there are so many knights on social media dogging on abusers, getting all rabid to punch one of them, that's not reality for many victims. Almost all (but one) of my abusers are fully embraced by the community. No one ever got involved. No one ever was that knight for me. No one ever stood up to them. Not doctors, not police, not school counselors, not family or family friends. You have some very valiant thoughts. And I truly hope they are applicable for many victims. But it's not always like that.
