As a child, I allowed someone to coerce me. I allowed it to continue for years without telling an adult. I did not stand up for myself. I trusted someone I should not have and the rest of my life is fucked because of it.
I did this to myself 100%

As a child? You were a child who deserved to be protected. You didn’t allow this. It was done to you. You are not to blame.
You’re blaming the victim, not the perpetrator. It’s not on you, especially as a child
If this was one of your friends who went through this, would you blame them? The rest of your life is not fucked. You’ll grow and you will learn. Be more patient with yourself now that you know what mistakes you have made. And love yourself.
you were a child. you didn’t allow shit.
You are not responsible for other people’s decisions, especially the decision to hurt others. What happened wasn’t your fault; it was theirs, and only theirs.
You might not be ready to agree with that yet, but you should hear it anyway.
