What adult survivors would like you to know...
- We often experience physical discomforts, pains, and disorders that are related to our emotions.
- We often appear to be extremely strong while we are falling apart inside.
- There is nothing wrong with us as survivors - something wrong was DONE to us.
- Sometimes others get impatient with us for not "getting past it" sooner. Remember, we are feeling overwhelmed, and what we need is your patience and support. Right now, it is very important for us to concentrate on the past. We are trying to reorganise our whole outlook on the world; this won't happen overnight.
