[quote=Anonymous]OP, yes abuse —in any form— can delay someone reaching their potential. There can be lasting effects, like complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). It’s ok to acknowledge that you’ve been hurt and to mourn the things the abuse has taken from you.

But, as much as you didn’t cause this, it’s solely in your hands to steer the future in a different direction. And by doing so, you will reclaim your sense of power and worth. There are good treatments available, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and inner child work. I also highly recommend group therapy for this type of experience. It is so useful to find out you are not alone and to see how other people in your shoes have set healthy boundaries for themselves. Many groups are virtual or message-board based, making it easier to get help when you need it. Therapists can often recommend resources that will be a good fit for your needs.

Wishing you the very best. I believe that we all have it within ourselves to do the work to achieve a better tomorrow.[/quote]
