The fact that your mom told the rest of the family has made the memory come back to you. I'm not saying that you had forgotten about it, but now that others know, in a sense you are having to go through it all again. You are right, tomorrow will be better.

hi hun im 39 everything your feeling is normal if you can call it normal. im always here for you ok.

Talking about abuse is like poking a healed wound. Everything is going to be okay. It is better to talk than to keep silent. Continue talking knowing that you can heal the wound. I am here for support.

Thanks for the replys! I appreciate the support! I know I'm just grieving the loss of what was taken right now and I'll be fine. My inner child just feels like crying today.

Sounds very familiar1 Its ok to vent! Thats what were here for. Take some time and be good to your self, take a nice bath or whatever it is you like. Try to spoil your self. I hear you Im feeling thoses same feelings, cant eat, sleep, or do any normal daily things. But the important thing is, its normal to feel like this and we will get stronger.

Mine too, let her cry so she can heal.

What you are going through is normal for someone who has suffered what he did. Hangin there it is like you said tomorrow will be better if not be strong and the next day will.

wishing you peace and happiness.

I'm going through the same thing at the moment because my son's therapist asked him if he'd been abused this week. He hadn't, but it brought my abuse to the surface, and in some ways I feel like I'm back to square 1, but I know that with every new day I will feel a little better.

Thanks guys today is better and I feel stronger. I finally quit crying for now. It's just hard cause my sis told me that the family suspects he molested his daughter too. She is about 3yrs. younger than me. They say she use to like going to his house when she was little until she was about 8 then she would cry and throw a fit not wanting to go with him. She has had alot of issues throughout her life so I've often wondered about it but that still doesn't make it any easier. I hope he didn't but I know they ususlly don't stop at one kid. We were close as kids and she asks me at every family function that we are both at what happened and why I separated from them. I've never had the courage to answer her. I just change the subject. Maybe now the next time I see her she will understand. I just hope she doesn't hate me for letting the cat out of the bag so to speak about her dad.

None of this is easy. Just the fact that you can cry as you are i think is a good thing. I think you have earn the right to cry at to top of your lungs.

Sounds to me like you have held it in long enough.

Remember we all cry a little for each other.

This day will pass to.
