Sexual Abuse Support Group
Sexual abuse is a relative cultural term used to describe sexual relations and behavior between two or more parties which are considered criminally and/or morally offensive. Different types of sexual abuse involve: Non-consensual, forced physical sexual behavior such as rape, incest or sexual assault, or psychological forms of abuse, such as verbal sexual behavior or...
And no you did not kill your dad. The people who hurt you are way more responsible then you could ever possibly be. There is never an excuse for rape. Even if the person is passed out naked in public. It is not and never will be your fault.
Right now the first thing you need to do is find a way that you can watch yourself and make sure you don't hurt yourself. I know it really hurts right now and it feels like it wont get better. But it will. Many have been through what you've been through. And yes it has been just as bad. I know that you feel alone, but sexual abuse is so common there are likely to be many people you know that have went through something similar but never talk about it.
But find someone you know you can trust completely. You said you had a friend you told. Can you go to her? Cause the first thing you need to do is stablize yourself a little bit. You are a strong person. That's why your brain is thinking your strong enough to remember. Cause you are strong. If you have to get a friend's help and find a doctor or therapist to go to without your mom knowing then you can try that. you can simply tell the therapist that you're afraid to tell your mom. That way later they may be able to set something up so all of you can talk. And be sure to have others you have confided in be there as well so your mom is less likely to react badly. Cause right now you need support. So find all the people you can right now. You can do this.
None of this is your fault. The abusers are always, ALWAYS, at fault. I know this is difficult, I know. I'm having an extremely difficult time right now, but I know that suicide is NOT an option, even though it's such an attractive idea. I agree with what Renasci said, you need to stablize yourself. I would listen to what she said as it is great information she gave you. You need to hang on to the hope that things WILL get better, and they will! I'm friends with some women that went through absolutely horrendous abuses and they are doing so great now. Not that they don't have down days, but they are living examples that their is life after the pain. I always hold on to that hope that things will get better, no matter how bleak things may seem. Sometimes hope is the only thing that gets me through to the next day, but I know it will happen in time.
Hope some of this is helpful.
Sorry to tell you that; I pull no punches.
But you may serve a longer sentence for THEIR crime than they do.
Hon, you deserved protection.
These guys deserve going to jail
Your dad's friend deserves to be put in jail. I believe you could try to do that.
When weighing two lives in a scale...one an innocent child, the other that child's abuser...who do you think I think more worth caring for?
You.
First, you didn't kill your dad. He was an adult and he made a choice. It was HIS choice.
People often say that suicide is a very selfish act. It's not. To the person ending their life, it seems like the most selfless act possible - they world would be better off without them.
But, it has devastating consequences for those left behind.
If you possibly can, seek professional help. You have a long journey ahead of you, but it's a journey you CAN complete. You're worth so much more than this. Please don't give upon your life. You are worth so much more.
Do build a support network around you.
Love to you,
Laura
