    hi everyone

     

    the thing is, i was sexually abused and nearly raped by my cousin years ago, but i managed to tell my mum about it who has promised not to tell anyone else. so now she knows but we haven't done anything about it, and he doesn't know ive told but coincidentally the abuse kind of stopped around the same time.

     

    so its a bit confusing, but its stopped now and mum knows so i can just get on with my life, right? well for some reason i cant! pretty much everything brings back painful memories, and im starting to feel sick and ashamed everytime i think about it. its my own fault for not stopping it so i don't know how i dare even think this, but i can't forget about it and its taking over my life!

     

    has anybody got any advice please?

    all the best,

    blue-hats

    hi blue hats. I'm so glad to hear that you've spoken to your mum about what happened. I know what it feels like to keep quiet and its so hard, sounds like you've been really brave. Just because your told doesnt mean that you will be fine. Telling is only the very first step of getting better, could you tell your mum how you feel? I think it would really help if you could. Its really not your fault, not not not your fault in anyway. You have done nothing wrong. Have you got a councellor? If you can't talk to your mum how about call childline or go on 121, I think a problem shared is a problem halved. Really hope you feel better soon.best wishes. Xxx

    heyy well i was sexually abused for 2 years and then nearly raped one night he was a person from the family which made things a lot worse. i told my parents after that night two months later we didnt go to the police but they did severly beat him up twice! i still cnt stop thinking about it even after a year or so but eventually in time i think you will get over it just try to move on with life and always be proud of yourself for confronting this issue with your mum.

    take care hun xxx

    Hiya,

    I was sexually assaulted and nearly raped by a guy i didnt know when i was on holiday.. i know where you're coming from with the memories, and blame and not being able to 'get over it' as such..

    Something that's helped me is a good mate of mine (who is the only person ive told) said to me; The more you torture yourself by thinking about it and blaming yourself, the more of a hold you are letting him have over you. When he did it he was controlling you, taking away your choices, and if you carry on letting it affect you like this then he's still controlling you. But if you face it, accept wasnt your fault and deal with the emotions it brings, you can stop being his victim and become a survivor.

    Remember to give yourself time to heal, but try not to let it destroy your life. Someone did something bad to you, it wasnt your fault, but you're strong enough to overcome it and still enjoy your life.

    Hope this helps,

    Demontackle xx

    I think u should talk to your mum again it might help (: cause she knows what has happened and will know how you are feeling if you keep it tucked up inside you. It will happen even more (:

    Hope it works out for you

    hey ummm just one thing you got wrong there. you generally don't get to choose if sumone is gonna rape you or not. rape is forced sex so it wouldn't be your choice. anyway...

    blue-hats-rule:

    i'm sorry this happened to you. don't beat yourself up about it because the more you let it affect you, the more he is winning over you. try and move on. maybe talking to a counsillor or talking to your mum again and explaining that you still have the bad memories. you could talk it through with her and that might help a bit.

    hope you manage to be strong and brave and move on. that way its you winning not him.

    lots of love
