We are all survivors
Quote From: redhead116iam a survivior of childhood sexual abuse I am so glad that he did a topic on sibnling abuse is so good to see I was abused by my older brother from the time that I was 11 to 14. I have not spoken to or seen my brother since he abused me. I told my family what he did to me because I went and got counselling and had it all paid for. I am to this day healing from the abuse he denies doing what I accused him of he also abused my younger brother. I found one bookelt about this subject but it is less talked about then parent to child abuse.I was also in an abusinve marriage and have managed to move on from that also and am married to a wonderful man that is loving caring and understanding. I have gone thru my tunnel of healing and am still always going to find new ways to heal. I was also dianosed with being bipolar and have to now cope with that as well and having PTSD. I haven't done drugs or turned to the streets for healing. I was very angry and now find that I am less angry and better able to cope with life. I work full time and am raising two fine young men. so healing is possible. DR PHIL should put on survivors of the abuse to show that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I think that any of us that are alive right now ARE survivors!!!! We didn't get where we are but being victims. When I speak of my brother raping me I always refer to myself as a survivor!
