Survivors often deny or minimize the abuse they endured.
Denial, difficulty accepting these horrible things happened to us, or had the affects it did on us.
A lack of awareness, a definition of what constitutes abuse that leaves us unsure of what happened to us.
Repressed memories can surface, but leave doubts within ourselves because we don’t understand why we wouldn’t remember.
Have you ever denied the abuse? How did you overcome this? If you are still unsure if you were abused, what makes you unsure?
