When I Was Younger, I Was Sexually Assaulted And Hurt By This Guy I Grew Up With. I Flinch At People's

When I was younger, I was sexually assaulted and hurt by this guy I grew up with. I flinch at people's touch. I'm afraid that no one will ever love me because I get nervous when someone gets intimately close. I have scars on my thighs from cutting. I feel as though it would be difficult to love me.

I understand the feeling.. I’ve been through this and I’ve never gone as far as kissing because I hate the near threads of myself.. literally. But, it time things will get better and eventually you’ll be with someone who only wants to protect you, never hurt you. You’re amazing and worthy of life. You need to remember that. Your scars are your battle wounds.. you’re a soldier. You’ll get knocked down a few times before you can actually stay grounded on your feet. I love you. Chin up soldier, the war is almost over.
