It can be so hard to be honest about things like that, we get trapped in the idea that it happened because there is something wrong with us and we allow our abusers to control how we think and feel about ourselves. People who genuinely love us will always understand, and there is nothing wrong with us, only what was done to us. โค๏ธ

    It absolutely gave me a complex about my worth as a human. But hearing dad's side, and his experiences, it helped so much to hear him say he did want me and he has no regrets about me coming into being. I am wanted and loved. It'll take time to incorporate that into my brain properly.

    Thank you for your kind words and care ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ this community has helped so much
