Hi @Former-Member
Are you new in SF, I don't think I have seen your name & Avatar, before, sorry I don't mean to upset you by saying that.
I care about you, & I thank you so much for opening up & being brave sharing your shocking past with me. I think that you are wonderful, no exaggerating I am proud of you to be able to come through such horrible past experiences as a child & come here to say such kind & loving words from your hurting sad heart to me? Wow I want just hold you tight & hug you, smile at you & call you my sister & my new friend, if that is ok with you? My family don't care about me, I have 4 sisters & they are gossipers, & all are wealthy, yet are mean & labeling me as mad, & other names that I can say at the moment, maybe I will open up in this thread if I feel I can at a later time. But its horrible & disgusting what they are saying about me behind my back as I found out a few years ago & its so awful & shocking that I can not deal properly with it at this moment I will just put it away until I am stronger, & I will get stronger soon I believe.
You & I can learn to look after ourselves together, does that sound good to you @Former-Member 🙂
I will sit with you & hug you anytime you need me to I'm good at hugging & comforting people & I love to help people, I have soft heart, but I'm no door mat that's for sure, like some have wanted me to be, (not here in SF) I'm talking about in my life.
I'm teary thinking about what that evil Foster Carer said & did to you its like a horror story, only its true in your life.
You can come back & talk to me & other in this thread anytime, I want you to ok, please!
((((BabyDragon))))
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Bella I love you 🙂

thats a rather strange feeling @Former-Member have you been in that sort of state before? has anything helped previously with the memories or emotions?

@Former-Memberfirstly NONE of it is your fault. not one bit of it and i know that is really hard to believe but it isnt your fault ok. what those other men done to you is on them, they make us beleive its our fault, make it a secret, make us feel ashamed, dirty, embarrassed, disgusted because they dont want to live with that guilt so they place it upon their victims and walk away like nothing ever happened. thats what they do, and that is not your fault.
the dreadful about trauma is when you release some of it even on here on the forums as you have done, its like opening a can of worms and once its released it can be hard to contain again. everything just flows out. sometimes out memories and thoughts from them get shoved so far down we dont understand where the nightmares are coming from.
often the horrible things happen to those with soft hearts, or kind and giving natures. people prey on that. they see it as a weakness but it really isnt.
Bella.. when these things were happening did you get any support from anyone?. are you getting some support or would you be willing to see someone to come and help you with these in the ways of a support worker or psych at all?

also @Former-Member ^^
those memories your experiencing i was told are called sensory flashbacks. they arent very nice at all. its like experiencing the bodily sensations that occured as well as being able to visualise it.
often with mine depending on how bad they are i can see, hear, feel, and smell what is going on.
have you ever heard of these at all?
