If you're an adult who experienced abuse as a child. You may not have felt able to talk to someone about what happened. Or, you may have tried and not felt heard. You are not alone.
What happened to you as a child, may have had a deep and possibly devastating effect on your well-being (physical and psychological). As an adult, you may have experienced anxiety, anger, low moods, feelings of guilt and shame. You may also have had problems with relationships, difficulty trusting other people or behaved in ways which put yourself at risk or danger. It's important to understand that this is likely to be linked with the abuse. Remember all abuse is wrong and it is never the child's (or young person's) fault.
