Oh, I'm so sorry about this, but everyone is right. Your T is there with you and won't let you go. You know you can trust him, and the shame you feel about what happened will NOT send him away.
Just keep remembering, like you tell me all the time: you were a child. No matter what happened or what you did, you were NOT responsible, even when something as horrible as this comes up. I certainly don't judge you, your T won't and nobody here ever would. But it's so hard to keep going. Remember you were a kid, and you used the only coping skills you knew, and the horrible ones you feel you used to get through those minutes and appease your father. You had to find a way to live and a little girl of eight is just so innocent and it's terrible that your father robbed you of that.
You were so brave to let the memory come, and even braver to come here and write about it. No more secrets da*n it! For any of us, because it keeps our abusers in control.
