The more I understand about abuse and its effects on my life, the further I sink into depression. I’m rarely happy about anything nowadays. The years I could’ve spent as a child learning how to connect with my peers were compromised by an adult that wanted as much control over me as possible. Many years into adulthood, I feel completely alienated from the world. I’m outraged by the hypocrisy of others, the way people ignore the suffering of children and make jokes about sexual assault. The way abusers so often face little or no consequences for their actions makes me feel hopeless. Ranting in therapy changes nothing for me. As frustrated tears fall from my face, children are still being hurt and I still feel completely alone.
