Gillian, I have experienced some of what you outlined (but to a much lesser degree.) There's a sense of comeuppance that your abuser didn't best you. And then there's the feeling that you are helping others avoid the same pitfalls.
But what has made your stories resonate so much with others is the personal aspects of them. It's not that they are solely tied to trauma. I am struggling with this too - finding new personal angles. So yeah, you are not alone.
