Can Anyone Relate?

We all have a story, good and bad, our journeys through life are unique to each of us. The reactions, emotions, and choices though are somewhat repetative in a sense. Take abuse in a childhood, not all have people have that in their past and if they do there are so many types of abuse , in my opinion that can be done to someone. What you do with the trauma, the memories, the pain, from your childhood is the same, you can either grow past it and become a better and stronger person. Or you get stuck and dwell, stay stuck and blame and make a mess of your life now because of your past. The choice is truly yours to make, what you will do with the pain, once the abuse is in the past. Don’t let it control and ruin your future!

I have dealt with the effects of my childhood abuse since I was 15 years old. I blame my abuse for choices I made from 15 until 17, but after that I can only blame myself for the choices I made. I was old enough and had common sense to know they were bad choices , only causing more pain on myself. But I didn’t care, I was in so much pain and misery that adding more didn’t matter. I was on a destructive path that would lead to death , at least I would be numbed for the rest of my life and get some fun and happiness until the end!

The end never came, though I tried.
