But glad you are receiving help. It takes courage to seek help. Therapy helped me understand. Please know that in no way you are to blame for the abuse at the hands of your father. \u00a0When a father abuses his child it&#8217;s never the child&#8217;s fault. \u00a0No child asks to be abused. \u00a0I empathize with how you feel about yourself for I felt the same. \u00a0Many years were spent feeling shame as if I asked to be abused. \u00a0Many years spent believing I was a whore because my father said so. \u00a0Many years I dreamt up thoughts of how to kill my father. \u00a0But it was never in me kill anyone, and as therapy progressed I learned that bad thoughts were okay but bad actions were not. <\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv4872430725yui_3_7_2_53_1375144771358_52\" dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv4872430725yui_3_7_2_53_1375144771358_52\" dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Wishing you all my best as you continue your healing journey.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv4872430725yui_3_7_2_53_1375144771358_52\" dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Karen<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karen, I am at home for abuse victims. \u00a0I feel like a whore and a wreck after being raped by my father. \u00a0In therapy sessions I recalled all. \u00a0Last week I confronted my father and asked him why. \u00a0He beat me up and asked me why I made him? \u00a0Your story helped me cause I [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-karens-answers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3095"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3096,"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3095\/revisions\/3096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.switchingtime.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
