This is a space to chat or vent about things which you think may be more triggering for the Community but still want to get off your chest.

Every Monday morning we will close the thread and start a new one so we have a fresh one each week. If you'd like to check out this week's venting thread that isn't triggering, click here.

    This probably be the last thing about me for a while as I am talking far too much at the moment and it's taking me away from having the mind to help all of you that are having much more of a harder time then me right now.

    I know there is a lot going on in my life right now, it may not all seem like a big deal for everyone else but everything that is going on for me is a big deal for me. My head is just full of things that I have been collecting from a young age, past experiences and everything. I never got support for anything that happened in my past which is why to me is still feels fresh. And I also have a lot of new things going on aswell as stuff I have already talked about but I'm not going to get into anything.

    I'm just going to say that at the moment, i have a sibling that is still showing signs of low feelings, we have been trying to sort out help for him but the systems around here are absolutely messed up, so i am currently trying to support him myself and show that i am there for him. He doesn't open up or anything but it is to be expected. I just know something is really affecting him right now and to be honest him being in this state is affecting me as i think i am the reason for it.
    him growing up around my lowest moments, hearing about all my attempts while he was only really young it must of been hard for him, having his father taken from him at a young age with no understanding of why. The poor kid didn't even know his father was abusing him and nobody still knows because there wasn't evidence of it as he was good at making sure of that, the only evidence was me witnessing it but i was such a scared kid i couldn'tgo to court facing him as he was also my abuser, i was so emotionally distressed from having to write statement after statement of what happened to me and the stress of there not being evidence of what he did to me i let him get away with what he did to my brother

    @Redemption I know you and everyone else are here for me, I just don't really want to talk about it.
