One of the cruellest things about abuse is that somehow the perpetrator manages to transfer all the shame and guilt onto the victim.
I remember very many years ago, when I had described a relationship to two quite separate counsellors several years apart, them both using exactly the same words, 'That's abuse'.
Strange how very liberating those words are.

They're so important, aren't they? it's because they release us from having to shoulder the blame for what happened....xxx
