News of Child Abuse Forum

I havent yet told my therapist that I have been abused as a child..I have been going to grouptherapy now for about months. This is a follow up after spending 4 months in treatment for mental illness, in my case I have been diagnosed borderline..

Should I share with the group is my question?

I feel that I rather would go and see a therapist one-one, rather than talking about this to the group. I ...

Hey Everyone. Kind've new here so hopefully I can post this here.

I'm doing a powerpoint presentation for my psychology class about child abuse. I'm really at a loss of what to include. I know I want to include what it is, statistics and maybe some extreme cases.

How long does it take for the memories to go? I really want to forget what happened to me when I was younger but instead I'm thinking about it all the time.

2) If what was happening to me only occured once or twice a week does that also mean it wasn't abuse? ...

I've always thought, and was a strong believer of God, but lately i have been very distant because of my life and depression. I've never been able to cry until now, i was so close into reaching Insanity 2 days ago. My face changed and so did my state of mind and personality.

whats a good way of unlocking childhood memories in order to discover that which is causing pain? ive noticed that this pain is whats causing me to smoke.

I have received a couple of phone calls of both of my parents and emails. They want to disown me, but they don't want to do the paperwork.

My Step-father doesn't want to disown because im a big dollar sign to him, he only wants me in the papers, because since he didn't adopt me and co-signed for my student loans. The government gives him a ridiculous amount of tax money. Plus he has 2 ...

Greetings from this mixed up puppy in Scotland.
