Hi Steemit, I Am A Survivor Of Ritual Abuse
Hello Steemit,
I am a survivor of ritual abuse, and I wanted to come onto this platform to share my perspective on subjects and issues that might help validate the experiences of other survivors. One of the worst parts of growing up with the trauma of this abuse is the belief that you are alone and insane, and that if you speak out, no one will believe you. For that reason I wanted to make this blog to tell other survivors they are not alone. I am choosing to stay anonymous both to protect myself and because I do not want the abuse that happened to me to define my entire life. To some extent I am also split, so, my "real identity" is less affected by the abuse than the parts of me that produce my writing here. I chose steemit as a platform because of the degree to which it being built on blockchain prevents censorship.
I will attempt to provide what specifics I can in such a way that they do not endanger myself or others.
It's also important to say that just because I had an experience or something triggers/resonates with me, does not mean that every other ritual abuse survivor went through the same thing. There may be significant differences between different groups of abusers and between the intended outcome for each victim. Am far from the only victim of this kind of trauma, so if my experiences differ from others my intent is to add to the discussion, not to invalidate anyone else. I hope this blog will be able to in some way validate the experience of others.

Hi, welcome to Steem! Your post made me search abit on the topic of ritual abuse. It sounds horrible. I am glad you managed to survive the trauma. While I do want to find out more, I hope by writing about it will not bring back those undesirable memories.
Thank you, I really appreciate you being willing to look into it as I know it's a subject that is easily dismissed. Writing about it may well be painful - but it's also cathartic and in my opinion helps process the trauma somewhat.
Blogging serves a vital role on a psychological level. Thanks for coming onboard.
Thank you so much, I agree.

Hi, I did a bit of research on SRA a few years back and what I found was beyond shocking. I hope you are doing ok. Although the topic is very dark and something I wouldn’t wish on anyone it’s also somewhat fascinating. I look forward to reading your posts.
Thanks so much! Writing about it is therapeutic, even though it's painful.
"I will attempt to provide what specifics I can in such a way that they do not endanger myself or others."
So in other words you have no proof.
"I chose steemit as a platform because of the degree to which it being built on blockchain prevents censorship."
What a crock of shit. You are steemit because you can get paid. Don't worry the retards in this place love this garbage
Sure Mr. "I love pizza," I give a damn about a single thing you have to say.
