I feel like no one likes me either. I have no friends, and just 2 family members that are tired of me. I think I'm ugly too. I was also abused when I was little. I think one out of every 4 women have been molested or abused when they were a girl. This seems like it would definitely cause feelings of worthlessness for you. I know it sure has for me. I'm sorry you went through that. It makes me so angry that there seems to be so many evil perverts in this world. I used to think it was my fault, but not anymore. It happened to me more than once, but the time that it happened with a stranger, I was frozen and became "disconnected." This does not mean consent simply because I didn't scream or fight. I don't know your story, obviously, but I do know it wasn't your fault. If it was your fault, you wouldn't be feeling this terrible about yourself. Those at fault seem to pretend it didn't happen, or whatever. I don't really know what they think, but I know it's sick. I'm confused about why your friends would blame you for your niece's abuse. Did your brother abuse his daughter? Did you try to protect her at first and it backfired? Did he abuse you when you were little? You don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable. You can PM me if you want to too.
