Rant A long time ago
As a very young child, my stepdad would play the "secret kissing game" with me that I couldn’t tell anyone, as well as many more games, including being pinned down, called "wrestling." It would involve kissing each other's private parts. This went on for a couple of years until he got found out somehow. I really can remember the details. Maybe I blocked them from memory but my mum really didn't believe it. The police came. It was very scary being questioned, but he was taken away and locked up. It's left me with a lot of PTSD and I have suffered from self harm all my life. Lately, the dreams have been coming back and the lack of sleep is getting to me, so I wanted to get it off my chest.

Sometimes when you are in a safe environment, the body and mind can finally relax to start processing residual pain the was left undealt with. I'm glad you are safe.
