Question for survivors of rape, child abuse, etc.

Post Reply New Topic

For those of you who have survived anything that would give you PTSD, do you find that being on the spectrum means that others judge your reaction more than they judge those who abuse you? I've had so many times in my life where I've been raped and sexually harassed, where the person who did it claimed I'm lying because I have mental health issues, and everyone believed them. Same growing up when I tried to have my parents held accountable for beating and molesting me. It's like people won't help me unless I s**t the f**k up and get abused quietly, because my only purpose in life is to be abused.

I'm a survivor of abuse and have been diagnosed with PTSD. Psychologists, psychiatrists, etc believe I've been abused; none doubt my story. In fact, I've never found anyone to doubt my story. Generally, people don't doubt other people's story of abuse. Yours is a troubling instance of it and I'm at a loss to understand why that is.

I was a young kid when my sexual abuse happen. So I don’t remember much his mom sided with him though. So my mom ended her long friendship with his mom. He was 19/20. I’d blacked it out for so long makes me sick thinking of it.

I was bullied at school as a child. I wasn't diagnosed back then but noone would believe me anyway - because other kids would just lie they did nothing I started it (Or perhaps I were unintentionally starting it?) and bystanders would say the same thing. And when I were telling my parents about that (which were abusive too btw, especially dad) they would only say I am too sensitive and other kids experience the same thing because this is just how kids are and I should deal with it by myself instead of being a crybaby.
