when i was 18 i was raped, i didnt tell anyone untill a few years later, the person i told died shortly after i confided in him. i got married 10 years ago and my ex husband would rape me and be really horrible on a regular basis. i didnt think he would do anything to my daughter, but little did i no that whilst i was in hospital after my son died i discovered that he had been abusing my little girl who at the time was only 3. i have never had counceling for any of this, instead i have tried blocking it out by hiding it in a box inside. but for some reason it all seems to be flying out. im struggling big time. i have recently split from my youngests dad, who was also abusive but not sexually. i have recently found out that my youngest (2) has cp and sensory probs, my eldest (8) is having counceling in school. i cant cope with any of this and dont want to go back on happy pills. i dont no what to do anymore

I'm so saddened by what you've been through. My story is different, of course, but what strikes me as similar is that it took me 10 years to really get upset about the sexual abuse I experienced. It was almost as though my maturity about the situation had heightened. One day it hit me much harder than it had all the previous times. I realized that it was a huge deal, and it wasn't fair or alright. I finally sought counseling after a decade of avoiding it, and my therapist told me not to waste time wondering why I feel a certain way at a certain time, but to rather focus on HOW I'm feeling, and HOW to get past that. I thought it was good insight.
Best of luck in your journey.
