How do you tell your deepest, darkest secret?
Printer-friendly versionMy parents think they me from abuse... How do I tell them, or anyone for a fact, that I have been abused? (verbal, emotional, and sexual) How do you let someone know that you've been hurt and don't want to be hurt again. How maybe your pushing them away before they can push you away? How do you even deal with the fact you were hurt in the first place?
I'm not sure what your first sentence is trying to say so I'm not sure if you're living with currently abusive parents or were abused by somebody other than your parents.
I don't think I have a definite way of telling others. The first way I told my parents was by writing a short story about abuse and telling them I needed them to read it. I was pretty non-verbal about it at the time.
Can you write the person you want to tell a letter if you're unable to tell them in person? Tell them what you can in that letter, that you're pushing them away, that you've been hurt and don't want to be hurt again, etc.
It can take years for some people to deal. Some need therapy, others do it through supportive family and/or friends. I'd say therapy is a good bet, if you have the means to get into it through your family. Try to find somebody who has worked with abuse individuals in your age range.
