Something people donāt understand about child abuse
One of the things that I really hate is that people donāt understand that survivors act differently and respond to their traumas in different ways.
Iām a survivor of csa and so is my friend. Her trauma made her extremely hypersexual while I could literally cry if someone even touched me.
My bf is a survivor of csa, I can talk for hours about my trauma if I felt safe enough while he NEVER brings it up.
A friend of mine is a survivor of emotional abuse and so am I. Her trauma made her angry while mine made me soft and defenseless.
My bf remembers every little detail about his trauma, while I repressed most of my childhood and traumas.
Thereās no special ācriteriaā that you should fill in order to be a āvalidā survivor, and thereās no specific way you should act if you were abused.
People respond to their traumas differently and itās okay, your abuse is STILL valid no matter how you respond to it.
