It's not easy to forget past abuses

[aninditasen]

Many of us have faced abuses in the past. Some of us even by our parents. Being the third of the siblings I was often taken for granted by my parents who often abused me verbally and physically. The next rots were my in-laws and my husband sometimes. At that stage I was grown up in my early 20s and retaliated when things became intolerable. However we often can't pay back in the same coin. What I mean is I couldn't be that mean and harsh to people who treated me that way. These memories do keep coming back to our memories time and again which makes us feel sad and angry too. How do you do away such memories which are disturbing?

People who have been abused badly in the past often suffer from PTSD, it can be very hard for most of them to overcome.

I'm so sorry for what you experienced from your own family, in laws, and even husband. I salute for you on your resilience and faith in God that makes your past ordeals bearable to you. Fortunately, I haven't experienced in my life abuses. I'm thankful to God. I pray you could forget your worse past and replace it with happy ones.
