I come from an incest family.
That is a fairly stark and shocking statement,
but there is no nice way to put it and no easy way to read it.
I hope you can appreciate
(if you aren't one of the many abused people out there),
that it is terrible to live it.
As you can imagine, my childhood was not fun.
As well as the sexual abuse there was emotional abuse.
My mother coped by distancing herself and working to get out of the house.
I have two older sisters who both suffered more and longer than I did,
although the "father" who was doing this was not their father.
He was mine.
I always knew that what had happened had happened.
I know some people don't remember.
I thought all families were the same.
I coped with my life by being expectionally naive in many ways,
but very good at reading what people expected of me.
When I finally realised that I had been sexually abused
- that there was term for what had happened to us,
I all of a sudden realised that I _was_ a thinking, feeling person.
I had rights.
I have the right to be happy,
to make my own choices and my own mistakes.
I have the right to be free from fear and abuse.
A lot of rights had been taken away from me
- the right to have a childhood,
the right to have good relationships,
the right to feel like a real person.
The right to be happy.
I have them back now,
and I intend pursuing them for the rest of my life.
If there is anyone out there who is on the same road as me
- at any stage,
having just realised abuse,
have just survived abuse,
having got to a point of feeling good about themselves
- ANYONE,
I would love to have your input and help to continue my journey,
and hope that I might be of help and support in yours.
