Why Your Family Won’t Believe You

When we grow up as survivors of childhood, emotional, physical, sexual, or any other type of abuse, we often live in a state of fear and trauma. And have a high tolerance for unacceptable behavior.

Then one day we start to have flashes, images and memories. We may even tell someone in our family that we think we can trust,only to find it dismissed and tell you “that could never happen.” So we bury it and we start to feel crazy.

Then one day in our adulthood, after therapy, recovery and support we approach our abuser, or we share it again with a “trusted” family member. Only to find that we are dismissed once again when we know what happened. We long for the confirmation and validation from our family so as not to be labeled crazy or dismissed any longer.

Join Dawn, The Recovery Lady  this week as she explains why the family not only won’t but can’t validate what happened to you. And more importantly why YOU ARE OK, SAFE & SANE!
