No Longer a Victim

The hardest part of being sexually abused was not talking about it.  I buried it, deep down inside of me.  I have no memory of my childhood.  I don't even remember highschool, even though I was sexually abused at a young age.

Whether you admit it or not, being sexually abused affects your entire life and will affect your adult life, your marriage and family life.

I will just say this.  I hate sex.  Whenever I had sex I could still feel my grandfather's hands on me, and his cigar breath.  Needless to say, my marriage didn't last nor can I have a sexual relationship because no one understands.

My advice to you, even if you just tell yourself is to talk about it.

1.  Stand in front of a mirror, and tell yourself.

2.  Journal.  Write down your feelings.

3.Confide in someone.  (make sure you can trust them.)

4.  Pray, talk to GOD

5.  Leave a comment.

The moment I said, "I think my grandfather did something to me"

A weight was lifted off of me.  Then once it was no longer a secret and out of the darkness, I told a co-worker and then she told me a story about her cousin.

We are not alone. It happens all the time.  The fact that we keep it a secret is only hurting ourselves.

We need to get out of the darkness and into the light.  The truth can not hurt us.
