“#Former Bachelorette Clare Crawley Reveals She Was A Victim Of Sexual Abuse As A Child
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nClare Crawley<\/strong> is opening up about a horrible time in her past \u2014 and getting real about what it means for her future, too.<\/p>\n

The former\u00a0Bachelorette<\/em> leading lady took to\u00a0Instagram<\/strong> on Wednesday, delivering a powerful message while revealing she had been sexually abused as a child. The poignant revelation also detailed how the 40-year-old reality TV star\u2019s past experience has impacted her adult relationships and ongoing mental health.<\/p>\n

Speaking out about the \u201cvicious cycle\u201d of abuse and the long-term aftermath and its effects on her life, Clare wrote (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cSelf love is the act of giving a voice to your truth. So here is mine. As a child of sexual abuse, my young adult years were spent in unhealthy relationships feeling unworthy of the good ones. It was a vicious cycle, because the more I chose the wrong men who treated me poorly, the more I believed I wasn\u2019t good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She continued from there in the lengthy caption. In fact, she connected things directly to her decision to remove her breast implants, as she explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cEnter the breast implants. I\u2019d be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t excited to get them, but the truth is it was money that would have been better spent on therapy to heal my wounded heart. I ended up spending the money on therapy anyway\u2026 cut to now. A woman who has learned to love herself deeply on the inside, knows her worth, and will fight for herself no matter what. I\u2019ve learned the toxicity that these implants can cause on our bodies, as it has done to mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow! Turning to inspiration, Crawley \u2014 pictured in the inset (above) with fianc\u00e9 Dale Moss<\/strong> \u2014 concluded the long message on a positive note, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I am stepping away from something that no longer serves me\u2026 not my heart, and certainly not my health. Surgery is this week! We are taking it back to Clare 1.0, who is lovable and worthy just the way she is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n

Very inspirational to see a public figure be so open and candid and vulnerable like this \u2014 and even better if her story can be a positive influence on other young women who may have gone through the same thing. Here\u2019s the full IG post (below):<\/p>\n
