Yes I'm afraid it is sadly, as it brings things flooding back into the front of the mind, but it does not define our lives and we must not let it, or they (the abusers ) have won and are still controlling you.

There are decent people out there because not everyone is to be suspicious of and that is where you must go next so as to reassure you that' that experience, is now in the past and new good experiences are out there to be had if we let go of the past.

I am certainly no expert on advice and I do not know your circumstance, so get different outlooks from different people and then you can decide what's the best advice for you all the best Alex

Hi pet. Lots of congratulations sharing your hellish abuse memories. But yep its definetely scary as you worry if folk will i dunno talk to your abuser i feel after telling some of my story ( not a story but) yetyou feel even more exposed and paranoid and worried and drawn back into those memories. Yet we did share for whatever reason. It came out. Dealing with it and moving forward i dnt know how to cope with or deal with that is it the same for you? The fear. Its like a big lion that would consume your entire being without consideration in one go. But for you its maybe taking it in tiny steps occupying your mind with other things because whats done is done but dealing with it is so hard as it is never mind sharing then coping. If you need a friend to offload on. Im here as youl be aware now iv a knowledge personally of this. Stay strong. You sound lovely. And as iv been told we didnt deserve what happened to us. Those people are messed up. I dnt know though how to apply that to my survival. Maybe thiugh you can. Lotsa love.xx
