Today is a downer day

[Short Circuit]

First time in a while that I have felt like this again, really sad, crying and thinking of doing "it" again!

What has exactly upset you today?

What's got you down bro? We're here to listen :)

I was talking this morning to someone about something that happened in my past, and he told me it was my fault I was abused

[Sonic Boom]

Erm, I don't think anyone asks for abuse. So how could it be your fault? That's just ridiculous. Why would this "someone" suggest such a thing?

[Scotland]

You should ignore whoever this is, no one asks or deserves abuse. This person sounds like an idiot

I'm just going to start by saying that ignoring this kind of thing won't help whatsoever. It is never a persons fault that they were abused. Depending on who the person is, you should really try to avoid them. Saying that someone deserves it or brought it upon themselves implies that the person was justified to abuse another individual.

We're here if you need to talk about it, its what we do. :)

Well, love, he/she sounds like a bacon-diaper. You didn't choose to be hurt and you didn't deserve it, either. Some people don't understand the pain of being abused but you know you're tougher than the rotten fish finger who told you it was your fault.

Words can hurt but you've had worse than this and you've gotten through it, meaning you can thrive through anything. Be anywhere you want to be. Brush it off, stamp "IGNORANT BASTARD" on his head and survive like you always have.

Love,
