I have, however, been abused. It has taken me four long years to realize that trying to compare types of abuse, and state that what happened to me wasn't as bad as what happened to, say, catchild, and therefore my pain isn't as important, is ludicrous. What was done to me left damage all the same. I have flashbacks of my own.
Thank you. I'm trying to get to that place myself, but it helps seeing others who can say it.
From misia's post, sorry if I'm intruding
