*Trigger Warning Child Sexual Abuse* I was abused when I was 8 and don't know how to feel

[Camchops]

Hi um I never have done something like this before so I don't really know
What I'm doing but I just need to get it out because I feel like it will help


My mum and dad were friends with these people how had a son who is about
4 years older then me and when I was little he would come up and force me to
Kiss him with lips and inappropriate sexual activity. 
One day my mum saw heard that he was missing me and talked to me
She said where did he kiss you and then I said on the check she said anywhere
Else would of been inappropriate we stopped visiting them but it's cause we moved to
Bowen I think that's how it was spelt

When I was at Bowen we had these nabours It was a mum a girl in yr 8 at the time
And her very little sister who would never were clothing just undies that's not
Important but so we had a small fake plastic house thing and when she would jump the
Fence into our house she would take me in there and kiss me and
Make me touch her intimately and then act all normal
My mum and dad loved her I Rember once she drew my dad and his nostrils looked
Weird in the drawing it's weird how you Rember random details

So yea I don't know what to say now um if U need to talk I'll listen and
Have a good life things get hard and like sometimes they don't get better
But um yea keep going I know it's hard I love and support you

Hi Camchops

Just wanted to say hi and welcome you to the forums. Thank you for joining us here.

I'm so sorry to hear about what you went through, what was it like writing it all out and posting? I hope that it helped a little- I know sometimes it helps me to tell people or write things down, and it seems to help others too. If it helps, you can go to other threads here and maybe join in or have a read and connect with other members of the forums too.

Feel free to let us know how we can support you- and sidenote I also totally get the random details. Lots of things in my trauma are very blurry but certain random things just stand out for some reason.

Hey 🙂

welcome.

Sorry to read what you had to go through at that time in your life. And your writing also shows you are strong and courageous in that you have been able to speak out about it here. Also, other people who might not even post here may read your story and find out they are not alone.

How are you going these days?

Tim
