Molestation

[bleedoutlove]

It's taken me a long time to come to terms with it, but I was molested when I was younger, for years. I don't want to take legal action or anything. It's not their fault, I mean, they'd never want to hurt me. I just... it's caused so many problems now. I don't know why I'm saying this. I've only told one friend, cause he told me he was, too. It's just... I think it's the reason for a lot of my problems.

You shouldn't apologize for letting it out, coming to terms with your problems is half way to solving them, if you need to let out more then feel free, Vt is here to listen and help where possible.

Maybe it's something you can tell a counsellor? I'm pretty sure if you assure them that the damage is no longer happening, then they can't take legal action if you're telling them in confidence. Talking about it with a professional might help.

Telling someone what happened is very hard...especially if you don't know or understand what happened yourself. This is what happened to me. I never told my parents because I did not know what happened. I just knew I did not like it.

I was 5 1/2 when a 16 or 17 yr old neighbor tricked me into getting undressed and giving him a bj.

Coming to terms with any form of abuse can be difficult, so its really good to let it out. Even if they never would hurt you, something influenced them to molest you and, frankly, its there fault. When you can't admit to yourself what it really was or repress your memory, it more than likely will cause some sort of problem. As Kathy said though, you should try consulting a counselor.

It was entirely their fault.
The person who molested you is responsible for their actions: sexually abusing a child. It's sickening. Admittedly, I can kind of relate because I don't want to take legal action against the man who sexually abused me, but I have entirely different reasons.
I'm sorry about this, and hope you manage to get over this and become a healthy, happy young woman. You deserve it <3

I definitely agree that you should talk to someone who can offer good advice, and the sooner the better. Deal with it now rather than later, and hopefully there are solutions to whatever other problems its caused. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to "fix" those problems I think.
