My name is Sarah, and I am a survivor of emotional, sexual, and physical abuse. I am sharing my story in the hope that it will help others who have experienced similar trauma. I want to show you that it is possible to overcome adversity and find hope and healing.

The Abuse

The abuse began when I was a young child. My father was an alcoholic and my mother was emotionally unstable. They both took their frustrations out on me. I was constantly belittled, humiliated, and threatened. I was also sexually abused by my father.

The abuse continued for many years. I was afraid to tell anyone what was happening, because I thought no one would believe me. I felt ashamed and worthless. I believed that I deserved the abuse, because I was a bad child.

The Turning Point

When I was in high school, I finally reached a breaking point. I had a nervous breakdown and was hospitalized. After I was released from the hospital, I started seeing a therapist. Therapy helped me to understand the abuse I had experienced and to start the healing process.

It was a long and difficult journey, but I slowly started to heal. I learned to love and accept myself. I learned to set boundaries and to protect myself from further abuse.

Finding Hope and Healing

Today, I am a strong and independent woman. I have a loving husband and two beautiful children. I am grateful for every day that I am alive.

I know that the scars of the abuse will never completely disappear. But I have learned to live with them. I have found hope and healing, and I know that I can overcome any challenge that comes my way.
