A: I'm so sorry
to hear of your trauma. But that you wrote means that you must
be doing quite well for yourself in the “comeback,” and that
there are happier times at hand.
I touched on one possible scenario like yours (but at the same
time not like yours) at the bottom of the Tsunami email:

Every situation is wildly different, but in the answer above I
tried to show that the explanation would almost always be way
outside of the box. Still, explanations are not nearly as
important as experiencing what you have, are, and will
experience from the trauma, and then understanding that it’s
your choice how to let it influence the rest of your life.
For whatever reason, and you’ll understand it “one day,” you did
“choose” it, from the highest and wisest place you have ever
been. I’d try to learn to trust in your own higher self’s
wisdom, not question it, nor bother with trying to understand it
now. Instead, focus on the endless choices you still have before
you in life (perhaps including some of the choices that have
arisen because of the abuse, such as helping others through the
fog, or perhaps removing all your energy from the past and
forgetting it – your call, there’s no right answer, do what you
want), and then focus on all the infinite good that still
remains in the world.
I do hope that helps. I do not under-appreciate the hideous
nature of what happened to you. I just don’t want you to
underestimate the infinite possibilities that still exist for
your happiness.
