Help for childhood abuse survivors in South Africa
From people who came through it
“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder and I keep my documents in a bag at a friend's house, just in case and and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
tide.snow · been through childhood abuse survivors“For anyone new to this: In 2023, that was me. It was remembering in my thirties and I couldn't see past it. I picked up the guitar again.”
Bruce V · been through childhood abuse survivors“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side. Some days now I forget to be sad. The helpline helped me plan how to leave. I didn't know they did that. Go slowly.”
fern_wolf04 · been through childhood abuse survivors“I was in the same place this time last year. What my stepfather did. That was every day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.”
