when i was 11 i was abused by a family friend, he abused me over a peroid of 4-5 months, because i was young and impresionable i thought nothing was wrong with what he was doing to me. because of this i took it home and abused my brother and sister, it wasnt until i was caught out by my mum that everything came to light and things were sorted out. the man who abused me got 2 years in prison and my mum didnt press charges against me because she realised that it wasnt my fault really, i was miss lead by an adult. i recived therapy for what i did and for what the adult did to me.
my brother, sister and my mum have forgiven me for what happened and trust me again, but i have felt guilty since it happened and have suffered flash backs and bad dreams since. it makes my depression worse as well and because of it i suffer also from deep set anxiaty. i am to recive more counceling for it because of the guilt that i still feel even though my family has forgiven me. i just dont know how to let go of the guilt i feel/suffer from??

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
I hope you are able to get past the guilt and forgive yourself.Try and be thankful it dint grow any bigger than it did before you received help. Sounds like youve got a wonderful and caring family that was on top of the situstion.
heres a hug for you, take care.
Good luck. You should never have been put in this situation.
i've always felt terrible b/c of things in the past. I was around a group of kids all abused...i thought it was how ppl were supposed to be...
my vision of normal and acceptable was way off.... young kids learn what they are taught, and they can't be all knowing at age 5,...humans just don't work that way.
I'm sorry your feeling like this though. And i think you should do everything you can to be happy in life. you deserve good things. So yes, maybe talk to a counselor/therapist, keep writing here... what ever works for you.
