Thank you for sharing such a brave and open post here. We’re sorry to hear you’ve experienced abuse and trauma. It sounds like you’re dealing with a lot, and we can imagine how hard that must be, but we’re glad you were able to open up here. It's great to see you've heard from the lovely Matchy69.

We wanted to reach out and share some resources you might like to try:
  • If you'd like to talk any of this through with a counsellor, you can reach the Beyond Blue Support Service on 1300 22 4636, or via our webchat or email here. 
  • Another option is the Blue Knot Foundation on 1300 657 380, who support people who’ve experienced childhood trauma, available every day between 9am-5pm (AEDT).
  • They also have some resources on their website which could be useful to visit, particularly the pages on Survivors Self Care
