I was molested by my brother who is 4 yrs older than I starting at age 8 til about 14.
My husband of 34 yrs knows about everything and has lived through 34 years of mental and emotional abuse from me due to my abuse. I have been in counseling for the past 4 years, but I can not open up to my husband or be carefree with him as I am with other people. It's like he still gets the "abused" me and the others get the person I would rather be. Could I be projecting my brother onto my husband in that I cannot be the "unabused" like I so desperatly want to? My husband is about the same age and built as my brother. I've never really thought about it, but someone suggested this as a possibility. |

Yeah, that can be possible but also your husband is closer to you and that is different from everyone else who isn't as close. Being closer to you means that they can hurt you.
