From someone who also has a little child still inside her as well, I can say that for me, it's been too long. I have been waiting forever to speak on what has happened to me throughout my childhood. It's so much bottled inside me that I'm ready to burst with the truth. That's why I've joined this site and I'm searching for others so I can talk about this and in hopes, find others who have experienced the same or similar. If I have a chance to speak with a therapist, I believe I'm going to let it all out. If you're still scared to speak, then it may take a little while longer but I honestly believe once you start talking, there's no stopping until you get it all out. And if your fear is what will come up, you shouldn't be afraid. That's what the therapist is there for. To be there for you and to help you through these times.
