I've had SA for as long as I can remember, however I've only admitted this to myself recently. Just writing this here makes me feel nervous and sweaty and like I'm about to cry.
I've been in a relationship with my first love for almost 12 years and he still does not know the depth of my problems, because I don't even trust myself enough to admit certain things. I think I would have had it easier if my parents hadn't taught me that no matter what you never discuss your problems with anyone. They used to beat each other up when I was a kid (never me or my sisters though) and then in the morning everyone had to sit down for breakfast and act like dad hadn't choked mom at night.
Wow. I've never written any of this down. Not even in my diary.
I'm so thankful I found this forum and feel so much better to know that I'm not the only one struggling. Maybe there is a way to cope with myself after all.
Oh, and I'm from Scandinavia so pardon me if there are some mistakes in my english. ::
