Hi everyone, I am a 19 year old girl and i was sexually abused by my older cousin for the best part of four years, i told my secret last year and didnt really get the best reactiona or support from my family. I sometime wish i had never even told at all maybe it would have been easier to deal with than the guilt and shame of them knowing.
I would really love to meet some people to share my experiences with it is hard dealing with these things alone.
Hiya, i am sorry you feel so alone, we are all quite friendly here and you dont have to feel alone anymore.. welcome to the pen pal forum if you want to share experiences privately feel free to Private message me, welcome to the family so to speak :)
hi louise i'm 45 and just been deeling with the sexuall abuse i wen't through i kept mine locked away since i was about 10 but in the end it destroyed my life not telling and keeping it a secret its best if you get it out as early as possible then that way you can start to reclame your life you should not feel shame or guilt i know it is easat because you had done nothing wrong for this to happen to you just like me and as i have found out a lot of others none of us should feel shame or guilt for something that some one else done to us find some one you can talk to a councilor i found that really helpfull but extremly difficult at first always ended up in tears but i needed to cry so deose everyone i know its hard you think people blame you or don't believe you but no it wasn't your fault try not to let it bring you rite down at least you have made the step of telling and trying to talk so you are not alone ok take care john x
