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 am a member of the PTSD group. Found out about this group and joined at least back in October, but never came over. I could not get myself here. Not sure why. Since joining I found out that my adopted father is my real father. I was sexually abused by my father, brother and two other families until I put a stop to it all by age thirteen. It was a sexual cult. Except for my father which the memory started to come back a little seven years ago, all my memories started coming back since late June. My father and brother seem to be the ones I have on my mind these days. They are the hardest by far.

That is a pain that runs deep. I was also molested by my father and brother separately. I am glad you have found our group. Sometimes even just reading others' stories can be a comfort, realizing you are not alone. I have my good days and then there are days that my childhood just makes me so angry at the world. It's quit the emotional roller coaster sometimes. Hugs to you!

I was sexually abused by my brother, my brother's best friend, a babysitter's son, and a neighbourhood boy. I kept the secret as long as I could until I cracked and let it out. Now I have no family because of disclosure.

I'm now in a fairly good place. I can hold a job and am learning to advocate for myself.

Welcome. I hope you find this group as helpful as I do. It's a very difficult and complicated topic to discuss.

It took me a long time before I started posting here too. We do understand, welcome.

There will be no blaming, no shaming here...just understanding and support.

welcome .... memories coming back make for so much pain but as I was just reading in another comment you have to clean out the wound so it can heal even though the cleaning of the wound hurts so much you want to just pretend it is not there.

I wish you peace and patience with yourself and your healing.

It took me a couple months to say boo here, yet feel at ease. We all know that immense pain and sorrow all too well. My best to you,

    Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
