Handing the Shame Back Gloria Masters

Survivors
If for any reason you carry guilt about what happened to you, you are not alone, we were all conditioned to feel this. Whichever way you were groomed into thinking it was your fault, was done with one goal in mind, to have you carry the responsibility so they didn't have to. Their intent was to make sure you held that load, and as a child you did!
It's time to let go now. Handing it back  will free you.
It was never yours to carry.

Tess Gonzales - Part 2
Christian. Survivor. Advocate.
Tess suffered  incest at the hands of her mother, who drugged her. She was eventually abused by her brother as well. Throughout her childhood, she felt unable to fit in. She was close to her grandmother,  and found that volunteering at a local rest home was key in helping her to navigate her way through it all.  You can find Tess:  https://www.facebook.com/tessa.gonzales.7773?mibextid=ZbWKwL

For survivors everywhere, we can sometimes we feel we don't fit in with others, in part because our experience was very different to theirs, and trying to explain it is challenging.
This was also true of us as children, and is to be expected. If you are struggling with this and it's feeling big, maybe consider that: 'In the not fitting in you are teaching people something.'

Its' not their fault
The survivor in your life, may still feel its their fault, that somehow they caused the abuse to occur.
Although to you , it may seem unusual they feel that, please understand: as children they were conditioned to believe they were wrong, and actually caused it.
They didn't have ability to understand they were being lied to and deceived. 
Help them to see that!
