How does one recover from childhood hurts and pains? Growing up in an environment where you weren't protected. Hurt by the ones who were suppose to love you. Molested by your father, and neglected by your mother. Trying to find you way as an adult as your past is present and seems to be your future. Your relationships seem to reflect your past. What is one to do? Any thoughts

Seek professional help. A psychologist (NOT a psychiatrist, who deals with medicines) can do wonders. They'll sit and listen, they'll help you find your way back to the problems and give you new responses that help you build a better life. It takes a long time and it's painful, but the rewards at the end are worth it.

I think this is one of the hardest things people face is to move on from your past and not let in seep into your present and take over your future. I think professional help is very beneficial. Talking to a counselor or a psychiatrist is a good start. There are a lot of support groups you can join with victims in similar situations that meet regularly to discuss their issues that can be beneficial. Taking action and talking about what happened is the first and hardest step to recovery. After this, the rest just gets easier and easier, and professional help will give this person the guidance and support he/she needs.
