paying for family's silence

Quote From: labelfree

I was sexually abused by my brother from age 5-13.  I was also inapproipratly touched by my father.  He tried sticking his tonuge down my throat and grabbing my chest right when I was starting to develope breasts and it really truly disgusted every part of me.  When I was in my late 30's my oldest sister told me our Father actually molested her when she was a little girl after I gave her a book called "Secret Survivors" by Sue E. Blume  it was kind of a techniqnical manual and My sis thought I had some kind of magical powers and I was able to see something in her and she came over and cried her eyes out when in actualtie  I gave her the book to show her why I was so messed up!

 

The only thing I can say to help you to start out with that SAVED MY LIFE IS GET DR> Phil's LIFE STRAGIES....  You will see the web of lies with your own eyes.

 

This is very hard work.

It must be done.  If you want to win at this game we call LIFE.

Be a winner...OKAY...JOIN me..YOU have to do The work as I did and the others did before me.

There are many place's here you cant vent and get help.  I will be your friend.

Wow, the same thing happened in my family, brother and father. There were 5 girls in my family and I know that 3 of the 5 were abused.  I will have to pick up the book.  Because I was taught to keep it hidden, I never told my husband about the abuse. After I had a son and daughter my brother that abused me moved next door.  I told my husband and my son that I didn't want our 6 year old daughter ever over to his place but they didn't know why.  My son went over to my brother's place to play with his son, and my daughter went too.  She started acting really strange, and I felt something wasn't right with her. I started questioning her and found out that my brother sexually abused her and later found out that he attempted to have sex with her.  She is now 17 years old.  She has had many problems dealing with this.  She has slit her wrist at the age of 13, purged her food after eating after that, told lies about being attacked to the police, and now her boyfriend has broken up with her and I found exlax in her room.  She has been in counseling most of her life. The counselor that she was doing so good with years ago has moved on to another job, and now she has someone else, but I don't care for her.  I am not allowed to talk to her counselor, t o make sure they know everything about her, I'm not sure she is telling them everything.  My husband and I are looking for a different counselor. Maybe one that can also help us help her.  (Sorry this is so long) I have written for help to Dr. Phil, but understandably I didn't hear back from him.) 

Thanks for reading

I've never posted on a board before, so please bear with me. I can relate to many of your posts so I thought I'd start with you. You mention above that "this is very hard work", a statement I not only agree with, but am living with now. For 20 years, I've tried to convince myself that it's over, it's the past, but all I've really done is bury it with an eating disorder, living with an abusive husband, overachieving, being super mom, friend, coach, fieldhockey official - I think you get the picture. I recently started with a new therapist, who is tough, and good but I am finding it so difficult emotionally that I want to quit. When you were experiencing these times, what did you find helpful. Also, I am going to take your word and get Dr. Phil's book - how did that save your life?  Sorry for rambling......

Forgiveness is usually denial

Hi Labelfree,

 

Your posts have been extremely comforting and helpful to me....THANK YOU!

 

Several people here have talked about being pressured to forgive.

 

I've noticed that denial can come in many forms.

 

Nine times out of ten when people start babbling about forgiveness

it's really just another form of denial.

 

Another way of trying to make people shut up.

 

Another way of stuffing feelings.

 

Another way of "let's all pretend incest doesn't exsist in our family".

 

Incest is unforgiveable. 

 

It is Premeditated First Degree Soul Murder...committed over & over & over & over again.

 

We can, however, work a recovery program to reach a place of acceptance

and strive to live our best life in spite of it.
