Needing love
As children being abused we were looking for some love from those tasked with caring for us.
We were children, with needs not being met, and yet through the abuser manipulating us and providing comfort , we may have felt we were complicit somehow.
They were in charge, we weren't.
Love that little child inside.

Sometimes it can all feel a bit much when trying to work your way through the trauma the abuse created. Sometimes it feels easier to just give up working on this, and just pretend you are okay with how it is.  
Please don't do that. Never give up, the rewards you receive are insurmountable.

Even though you may feel that you should take other's advice on what action you should take regarding the abuse you suffered: like (for example), forgive your abuser, or just move on with your life: The reality is you must do what resonates with you, in other words: 
You do You.

Resolution Options
Because we are all different, so are our views on how to get resolution regarding our abuse. 
For some of us it may be finding forgiveness, for others it may be confronting the abuser. Whatever you need to do to find peace is the key. Trust how you feel and go from there.
