Good always overcomes the evil. There’s always good, kind hearted people in the world.

..."they did it on purpose". The betrayal, especially when people you know either don't do anything and know what's happening, or willingly participate, is the hardest to part to get over.

"Those torturers don't have the power to define what being human is". That statement has given me the final nail in the coffin of my abuser's once fearful strangle hold over me. I've just learnt I am human. It helps me to let go.

Yes. It's been 6 years. I've lost all. My family career everything from ptsd. I'll never know who or why. It's made me insane. How do I come back from this?

The worst part of torture is when it stops.

I am a torture survivor and I am struggling to know how to trust my judgment of people as the people who tortured me where people i previously trusted. do you know were to start because I am doubting everything I thought I knew.

[lauriedmills]

Yes. That's the worst of it - they do it on purpose.

I was tortured by more than a handful of my family members. Druggings and sexual abuse and rapings... It all happened because I kept spreading word of their dark secrets that were very toxic to the family dynamics. They didn't like that, not one bit.

Evil attacks people and that malice
But how does this recovery attract the torturer

I bet they use a stole
