I unpublished my book for a few reasons that honestly, have been eating away at me.
Honestly speaking, I feel like no matter what, I won't be heard. And even though it happened 6 years ago, it still hurts and haunts me to this day. I feel unheard, and honestly like nobody believes me. I know, I lost a lot of stuff that happened, but what was I supposed to do? Keep it all to look at for 6 more years? For it to keep hurting me? I looked at it enough before and it did me no good.
I doubt anyone believes what happened back then, or maybe its just one of those "oh okay, well anyways" type of things. To be a victim and be unheard of or pushed under the rug makes me feel honestly worthless.
"You have no proof, you have no evidence, that person isn't seen as a bad person in the community". Everyone has a right to say what they want, I understand.
"You're an adult, just forget it" I cant. When you have such traumatic experiences, you can't just forget about it. It was literal hell
