The ramblings of an abused kid (trigger warnings galore)

[GoSlash27]

I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror today, averted my eyes. I forced myself to look at my reflection, directly in my own eyes. All I saw was me.
 I chuckled at how silly all of this has been. I'll be alright.

Today was a busy day.
 I managed to positively identify the "scene of the crime" of my first ordeal. I may have also found associates of the woman who intervened on our behalf (confirmation pending).
 I will soon have reliable dates and locations for nearly everything within this 15 month span, save a motel room I'm resigned to never finding.
 Examining all of my memories of "the scene of the crime" caused some anxiety, but not as bad as expected.

 I feel like my cPTSD ordeal may be over. I'll check with my T. There are no more secrets. No unknown triggers. My "monster" has a face and it has been slain. I'm free.
