Shining Through the Darkness

Shining through the Darkness by SoulzbyCarmela Today I really wanted to give up on writing this chapter. Like, how the fuck am I meant to write about my traumas, and how I got to where I am in life, when I’ve never really opened up about my childhood? The fact is, I know people would never believe me. Why? Because today I have a great loving relationship with my abuser, and I don’t mean in romantic way – he’s a family member who destroyed my life for a very long time, who will remain anonymous throughout this story. However, given the horror my abuser put me through, I can’t even believe that we have a relationship that’s a working progress – trust has to be earned once it’s been broken.
