A Child Abuse Survivors Group Community Group
We survived child abuse, but the pain still remains and so do the other effects which can last a lifetime. We are often unable to find adequate help, and we are seeking answers that can help us understand what happened so that we can go on to lead normal lives. (Please note that this is a group for child abuse survivors only. If you are a professional in the mental health...
Aside from the physical damage that sexual abuse can cause, the emotional component is powerful and far-reaching. Sexually abused children are tormented by shame and guilt. They may feel that they are responsible for the abuse or somehow brought it upon themselves. This can lead to self-loathing and sexual problems as they grow older—often either excessive promiscuity or an inability to have intimate relations.
The shame of sexual abuse makes it very difficult for children to come forward. They may worry that others won’t believe them, will be angry with them, or that it will split their family apart. Because of these difficulties, false accusations of sexual abuse are not common, so if a child confides in you, take him or her seriously. Don’t turn a blind eye!

I was told I was sexually abused and it was my fault. I asked for it. My problem, I deserved it, my fault. Took me years to wrap my head around the idea that as a 12 yr old girl, no matter how developed my body was, I was not the one to blame, it was a man with no self control who was at fault, not me. I am still very ashamed of the sexual abuse I went through, the fact that (in my mind) I allowed it to happen, that I failed to stop it once it started, that I caused it to happen to me. YEARS. And I still feel shame and guilt over it.
the abuser will torment, rape and isolate, sell the child's body for cash PERMANENTLY if they can. its a form of kidnapping to hold another captive, that includes children. the longer it goes on the worse the abuser will become and that many more the abuser will go after.
if you can't get the perp for one crime, then get them for another, accidents happen, there are other ways to get someone. al capone went to jail for tax evasion, not for stealing. look at it that way look outside the tiny box. wake up.
