i've been searching for a place where i could talk to other survivors of sexual abuse. i'm currently seeing a therapist but know that, that isn't enough. I've only been confronting my abuse for about two months. I'm terrified, i've seen the effects of dealing with this on my mother who was sexually abused by her father and four of her brothers she has suffered severe meanthal health issues and self harm. My brother and his wife, who I'm close with, has two young girls we found out about year ago that they had been sexually abused by their cousin for several years. No one in my family knows that I was abused, I want to tell them but can't. It would devestate them, and I think it would lead my mother to suicide, it would mean that there had been three direct generations that had been victims of incest. Why has this happen to me and my family?
