Welcome to May The Stars Shine Upon you. This blog is intended to tell a story, start a discussion, and provide some relief to those who live their life in the aftermath of abuse, whether it is sexual, physical, or emotional. It is for the everyday struggles of those who have survived and seek to move on with life. It is about how everything has changed, even if to others it seems the same.
The idea for this blog came about when I realized that no matter how many self help books I looked at, they all very vaguely described my experiences. I needed more. I was looking for the why, the how, and to feel less alone. I am not the only one. This blog will be primarily written by myself, but also with input from others who have survived their own pasts.
So if you are reading this as a survivor, as a loved one, as someone struggling with everyday. Please know that you are in no way alone in this battle. It doesn't end when the abuse ends, it lasts for as long as we do.
I hope to have this blog cover all the day to day struggles from the inside. The negative emotions, the nightmares, the flashbacks, the inability to feel safe, the relationship problems it creates, the social issues, the attempt at communicating, becoming a survivor rather than a victim, and many other aspects of life after abuse. Please feel free to comment, share your story if you desire, or ask more specific questions.
We are not alone. And I reject to live this in silence.
- D.M.
