Hi. I was sexually abused, raped and tortured by my brother and his friend from t age of 14 until 18. Am presently having counselling for this but still find it really hard to talk about and struggle with my feelings around it all.

Hello Heidigue,
My heart breaks for you, you are so young you should not have had to go through this for so long. I want to ask questions, but only if you feel you can share. I have been raped twice and I was molested by my brother for 4 years also from age 8-12.It is a horrible thing to happen,it changes your life. I want you to know I am here for you any time. I The people here are very understanding and will all help.I will not judge you, do you have a safe place to stay. Are you safe now?Please drop me a line and we can chat okay just pm me. Be safe, and know that you did nothing wrong. It is not your fault, and counselling will help but it will take time allow yourself time to heal.Love and prayers Isabee

maybe don't worry too much on being reliant on counselling. If you think of a child, at first they are reliant on their parents. As they grow, the reliance decreases until it's gone.

With counselling, it can be a similar process. At first you may feel reliant / dependant on it. But as you heal the dependence reduces and a good counsellor will foster that growing independence.

Give yourself space to heal.
