Somewhat, only because I have a couple good friends who are really there for me. They are the only ones I have told and I think I'll keep it that way. It seems less complicated. As for family, that's the origin of my problem. Those who weren't the abusers are fragile in their own right (with more serious mental health problems than mine). I'm afraid telling them my secrets would cause them a great deal of pain and possibly harm their well being. It would probably also complicate my recovery and life in general. |
