Incest Resulting In Pregnancy Survivors
About Me
My name is Donna, and I am a survivor of incest which resulted in pregnancy. Incest is truly an insidious form of sexual violence. It is profoundly confusing. It has caused feelings of shame, fear, terror, anger, isolation, helplessness, worthlessness, guilt and self-blaming. I felt defective, inept, unlovable, abandoned, frightened and betrayed for many years.
My Purpose
My purpose of this site is to foster resilience through this shared experience/healing journey. I hope this can be a place to emphasize our assets, strengths, and successes. A place to share our limitations, shame, sadness, social isolation, boundary setting, self-perceptions, substance use histories, overcompensating, and memory loss. A place to share the minimization and ignored pleas from family or negative family responses following disclosure of incest.
