Everything your feeling is a normal reaction to what you have experienced. This is something that happens with all victims of abuse. And when an adult does get caught, one child comes forward, or someone sees something and once that takes place eventually more of the victims come forward. No one wants to believe that these bad things took place, no one. And the main reason an abuser gets away with abuse is because the victim somehow feels so uncomfortable and over powered that they often stay silent. And many stay silent because they don't want any of it to become public. But if you have a therapist that you see you can request that the information you discuss be private. You can even have the therapist sign some kind of agreement between the two of you.

I totally understand not wanting everyone to know all of it, your trying to be brave and part of you doesn't want to disturb your family even more. But you do deserve to have private councel for your personal issues, you truely do.

We are here to listen and many of the member that visit this forum do understand why you struggle. But as I said before, it just wasn't your fault and you do deserve to have someone help you with it. We are here to listen and support you Reuben.
