i was molested at the age of 12 thru 14, i told my ma, she did nothing, and it was never spoken about again.
BUT when i turned 34, flashbacks, and nightmares came pouring in.
the way i dealt with it was to admit the abuse happened, and confronted my ma.
that was easy, going to parties was difficult, cuz it was my cousin that molested me and he would be at every family function.
for 7 years i didn't go to family functions becuz of him.
all that has changed no more flashbacks, nightmares, the feeling of throwing up and diarrhea at the same time when seeing him is gone.
this went away becuz i leaned on and trust in my faith.
everyone heals at their own pace, take baby steps. (((hugs)))
