I think this is my problem
by: confused on Fri, Sep 14 2007

I was 11 yrs old when my life changed forever, I was in a life and death situation and I lost my father. I was okay in my growing up years I wasn’t over emotional for the most part and I reacted to situations as most did. But I engaged in an abusive relationship for 10 yrs (although he begs to differ) and that’s when my behavior changed. Now I am nothing more than a sack of tears, anger, anxiety saddness, and depression I’m scared of someone hurting me. I don’t like watching horror movies or violent ones because i’ll become extremely anxious. And i’ve thought that what I went through as a child had not affected me. But now that I have been through the abuse I’m scared of what happened to me as a child. Why is that?

It’s not very inspiring or very helpful to everyone ,but maybe this will show some dont have as bad of a situation as me. I am only 16 years old and I am involved with a girl who is also 16. I’ve known her for a few years and i began to have feeling for her as young people often do. I became deeply involved with her life and made it threw a year with being her everything, but little did i know there was more to her than meets the eye. [more..]
