Neils,
I'm sorry to hear your having a difficult time. One of our most basic needs is to feel like we are safe. I would encourage you to keep talking about your fears. Once they are out in the open, they have a tendency to loose a lot of the power that they have over us.
Recovery is Possible!

Niels,
That feeling of being unsafe is a big one for survivors, and for good reason! After all, when we could be abused by people we knew and trusted, what were we to conclude if not that the world is unsafe and full of danger for us?
I don't recall if you are in therapy or not. That's really an issue for professional help. A good T will be able to help you see that even if the abuser is still alive, you are 29 years older and fully capable of protecting yourself now.
Much love,
Larry
