Meme: Gif of Pedro Pascal and Nicholas Cage riding in a convertible with the top down and looking at each other. Pedro’s expression looks like he just shared something humorous. His caption is, “Abuse survivors sharing funny stories about their childhood.” Nicholas’ caption is, “Everyone else,” and looks bewildered.
Oh no! I’m sorry that you’re in that position. Maybe you can find an avenue to discuss them with someone? I read (actually heard) the book The Body Keeps the Score. Even if you repress the memories or think you’ve moved on, that stuff is in there affecting everything, whether you’re aware of it or not.
Just wanna give a big ol’ +1 to The Body Keeps The Score. My partner read it and it was a game changer for her.
