are u shure

Quote From: dhschick22

The show was difficult for me to watch today because I see so many parallels with my own life. If that young girl turns out to be like me because of the sexual abuse, then I feel extremely sorry for her. My brother molested me from ages ten to fourteen, well over twenty-five times. It has affected my life greatly. I remember in the show the young girl was saying how she's fat, ugly, etc., and that is the same way for me. My therapist wants me to tell my mom, but I saw how Grace's mother was so devastated, and I'm not sure I could do that to my own mother. Plus, it happened five years ago, so it's not like he is doing it now.....

Are u sure hes not doing it today.  every child he comes in contact is at risk. If u don't stop it now it will  fall to other children to tell. than what will u say,yes i knew...and i did nothing. u will stop the chain of abuse at the moment you tell.seek counsel you need a support system.Call local YWCA,mental health group,your family Dr. But seek  the help you need i beg you

I understand your hesitation...when my mom found out she was actually angry at me! it was not pleasant...I understand your therapists encourgement to tell your mom but maybe you could explain how afraid you are and you could role play some possible reactions before you hit the real thing...that might help you to feel more prepared...or perhaps you could do it in front of your therapist for moral support...it is good to share this..and the more you share the stronger you become...it isn't easy but it is worth it.....even though my mom didn't handle it well and I then had a whole new set of problems...I was relieved that she knew and I didn't have to hide anymore...I pray you will find peace and healing in your life!
