Re: Have u ever tried to write a letter

[Guest guest]

I wrote a letter to the guy that raped me. It was very theraputic. I

want to write a letter to my mom, but I'm really struggling with that

one.

I've done this sort of thing in the past. When you have something that you want to say to someone, writing a letter, gives you time to gather your thoughts, and put them on paper.

hi -- not very much awake here, with foggy brain, BUT suspect it's probably NOT a good idea to SEND a letter to an abuser, as it just lets him/her know they were successful in hurting you.

I DO however think that it IS a good idea periodically to write AS IF you were sending it, THEN TEAR IT UP and THROW IT AWAY!!

even the tearing up of the letter can feel REALLY good!

and trying to hurt them back just keeps it all alive, doesn't it? so suspect also not a very good idea -- besides which if they up the amount they are hurting you, that's also not helpful!!...

and I also doubt that they will feel hurt by what you might say, so not worth the sending...

If I had been similarly damaged, I think I would hunt for someone to help me work it through, JUST FOR ME... like a therapist, clergy person, social worker, etc...

but that's just my two cents worth from my foggy brain

peace!, Jean

I would imagine that the letter to your mom would be difiicult. Good luck on that hhhuuugggsssTracey White <tracey.white@...> wrote: I wrote a letter to the guy that raped me. It was very theraputic.
