Incest Survivors Support Group
Incest refers to any sexual activity between closely related persons that is illegal or socially taboo. Consensual adult incest is very rare. Incest between adults and prepubescent or adolescent children is a form of child sexual abuse that has been shown to be one of the most extreme forms of childhood trauma. If you or a loved one is a survivor of incest, join the group...
I'm sorry you have a need to be here, but hope you find support and comfort. I remember you from before and yes, there was a bit of drama. LOL When so many hurt individuals get together there is bound to be from time to time.
I'd like to ask you to look at something from a different perspective if you would for a moment. How is the post that is causing all the hubub at the moment different from your post, or that of the young lady you referenced? All three posts are by very well meaning individuals who see something in their beloved community that bothers them, so they talk about it.
I personally think it is great that we can and do talk about things that bother us. It shows that we are safe here to disclose even things we don't like about our group. It shows that the members are moving past the quiet acceptance of victims to the outspoken self reliance of survivors....at least in my opinion.
As long as we are all compassionate and respectful, I think disagreement can be a growth opportunity. I respect you and your opinion and I am glad you are here voicing it :)
Yes, that was my point exactly...anytime anyone voices an opinion others may feel uncomfortable. But that is normal and can be healing. I hope you understand that I am only saying that the fact that so many have felt safe to speak out about what is making them uncomfortable here is proof that this IS a safe place.
I just hope that we can all look at each others point of view as having validity, even when we may not agree.
