Nineteen51
Beloved of All
I’ve recently had a triggered emotional episode lasting an exhausting few weeks as I have had most of my nearly 60 years on earth.
I’m a survivors child sexual abuse by a number of perpetrators from a very young age through my teens and has damaged me for a lifetime.
Most frustrating and heartbreaking is trying to sustain any relationship with women in the romantic sense because even if there is chemistry in the early stage of meeting someone these triggered episodes or brokenness shows in me surfaces and brings an end to any intimacy. It’s not something that can be brought to the attention of the person of interest. They just see me as someone that doesn’t match her feminine energy as manly energy. I really felt like things were progressing with someone but eventually she was probably looking for me to lead and that is a struggle. Women I most attract with no problem are usually not good for me and many have been predatory in nature.
The struggles experienced by myself as an adult of early sexual trauma have been part of my therapy but my symptoms of a distorted world view, as well as self-perception happen when I’m triggered during the initial beginnings of a relationship. I really felt like things were working with this person and still hope it might not be over. I really think opening up is too early to put on her. I really like her and really felt she was into me as well. I really don’t know how to heal from this. I pray God would speak to her heart things I can’t say. I freeze up when things get intimate. Confuses her. I think this freeze is the childhood response to being molested and the feeling of abandonment. I pray God has a plan to heal me. In Jesus name Amen
