It's hard to admit that this has actually happen to me. It took me a few years to realize that it wasn't right because it happened when I was 8 and continued on till I was twelve. I feel so vile whenever I think about how someone in my family could want to have sex with a young child. Granted I didn't but I just always blame myself for them wanting that or wanting to touch me or feeling attracted to me. I just feel so alone and like this hasn't happened to anyone but me. Now I know that it isn't true..

" Welcome to the group. You are very brave to reach out for support. There is not now, nor was there ever anything vile about you. You were an innocent child. This is a safe place to come with your feelings, questions or just to vent. ((Hugs)) Sandy "

" Hey Smother! Welcome to our group, I hope you find us as supportive as I have found us!

It was never your fault. You were a sweet innocent child. I'm sorry someone in your family hurt you and abused you. They are to blame, not you.

I always say, it wasn't my fault, but it sure is my problem, now! Because we seem to carry all the shame and the repercussions of their actions.

Hugs to you. Good luck on your healing journey! "
