My Father Abused Me
Posted by Anonymous in Childhood on Feb 19th, 2010 | 6 commentsMy father abused me from when I was 4 until 12, then he died of cancer. I used to be able to cope but since I injured my back, I’ve had more time to think and now Im having a lot of trouble copeing. I cannot go see a therapist because I don’t want it to appear on any records since Im training to become a search and rescue technician and Im alreadying having trouble,: being a girl and have a back injury(no apparent damage to bones so they cannot say anything about that yay!) Id love to get help, but I know I could not tell any friends,Id be to scared somehting slipped out becuase no one knows.
Thanks for reading!

go get some therapy. the information is confidential and seeking help for an issue is commendable. There was nothing you did wrong, you were just a child. seek help so you can get those feelings out and have peace of mind.
Grow up and get over it!!!! He died so that died also. I have a hard time dealing with pussified people like you. Here’s a news flash…THE WORLD ISN’T PERFECT AND WE ARE DEALT A CRAPPY HAND FROM TIME TO TIME. Move on and live your life!!!!
Hey, cut her some slack man! You don’t need to be so harsh. She’s only here so she can get something off her chest, it’s not her fault her father was a jerk, and you don’t need to be one either. >:(
Do some anonymous fact finding. Call up a few therapists and ask if it has to be reported that you are recieving their help on your Search and Rescue application.
If there’s no way to get therapy then you should do it anyway.
I know it’s hard and it will feel like you’re giving up what you really want because of that man. It will feel like he’s taking something else away from you again.
BUT you cannot go on without getting help. These feelings will keep coming back. Better to get the help and work through it and apply for the job again later than to lose the job when the memories and the emotion and the trauma become too big for you to deal with.
This will not go away and you need to do what’s right for you emotionally as well as everything else.
I would agree with the Arianne’s post practically in it’s entirety. Inquire whether or not the findings in a therapy session has to go on your record.
However, if that doesn’t work.. In fact, even if it does, I have found that sometimes in life you can be very surprised by what the people you see every day have to say. There’s a lot to be said for the observations of someone who hangs out with you, or even just sees you walk by each day.
I’m so sorry, what a jerk that guy was, they say what goes around comes around, he got his come-up-in’s. And I hope you can get some help. Good luck. :)
