How can I talk to my family about my abuse?

No tell the true! He will hurt somebody else ! The trie will liberate you

I am a survivor of abuse from male relatives in my family. I have been to counseling. I told my husband about my past. He knows about family members that I will not let my children around without one of us around. To protect yourself and daughter, please donā€™t write or send Pictures of your family. I would tell your family that he not the sweet uncle everyone thinks he is. Who knows he could have done stuff to other family members that they are ashamed of us as well. You will feel better and start the healing process. I understand where the trust issue comes into play.

It was me I believe is my cat because kid downlights cause I have fuck it on my own and mostly I believe my kid so maybe your mom blue YouTube if she love you

As a rape survivor I can tell you itā€™s going to be very hard to ā€œjust get over itā€ without family support. I was 17 and just started college in Boston. A man asked for the time so I walked over to him and he grabbed my arm and had a knife at my back. He raped me in the stairwell of an abandoned project, sliced me up a little down there, hit me a few times and left me on the roof. In February. In Boston. I walked out and up the street and realized I was at Boston medical center where my bff father was a surgeon. I called her first. She called her dad and he came down. I didnā€™t want to tell my parents because I thought they would think it was my fault. Finally I had Carine call my mom. Her, my dad, my nana, and a ton of Boston police and state police. 8 have uncles in both. Whole point is I was up in my parents bedroom watching TV and fell asleep. Normally my mom would wake me so her and my dad could go to sleep. For over a week my dad slept in the couch right by the front door and my mom wanted me to sleep with her. She needed me near her. She needed me to know that my family would do anything they could. My dad offered to put bars on my windows if Iā€™d feel safer. I didnā€™t want that. I am not the person I was all those years ago. He took a lot more than my money. I have severe PTSD to the point Iā€™ve had ECT treatment and Iā€™m not ashamed to admit that. This got long but trauma can turn you into a completely different personā€¦

I dont know how close u are to ure dad but i would tell him second tell ure husband first then have ure dad and husband there to tell ure mom for moral support sorry u have to go thru this u need to get it off ure chest

Hold a family intervention. Go on line and see if you can engage a therapist who will help you host one. You simply invite everyone over for dinner without revealing whatā€™s going to unfold. Then you reveal the ugly secret. Itā€™s like lancing a boil. Itā€™s painful and traumatic, but no healing can occur until you bite the bullet and do it. That goes for the whole family, not just you. Further trauma may be revealed. He may have abused other family members, and/or been secretly abused himself.

You need to talk to someone about this! Donā€™t keep it bottled up!

You need counselling support from domestic abuse services

You MUST talk it OVER to your MUM to be FREE.You MUST.Its YOUR LIFE,not your MUMS.Dont draft any NOTEs or Post any Photos to him. DONT!

You should think about what you would do if it wouldnā€™t affect anyone else and then do that.

You need to go for some sort of counseling. It helped me tremendously. I risked telling my parents and I was not believed. I wasnā€™t even wearing bras yet, and this dirty old man wanted to tell me I was getting to have a nice figure. Creep. I realized it wasnā€™t my fault. It took twenty years, but my Dad finally saw something the old geezer did when he stopped in to see him and I was there. He believed me. I still didnā€™t care if they believed me or not. I knew the truth. I found once I went for counseling, it helped me to talk about it at times to others who had been in the same sort of situation I had been. You would be amazed how many have been abused as we have. It set me free. The more I let it out, the better I felt. Get help. Give your Mom a chance to know the truth. She deserves to know. If she doesnā€™t accept it, that goes with her. I think she will believe you.

No baby u tell your mom. Itā€™s the only way to start getting you better. Why was her brother living with yā€™all?

Itā€™s time to come clean and tell everybody what happened

Writs to him. And in passing mention that he may write and not visit you or your daughter. Your husband can take him out for coffee lunch or dinner but not over to your house to see you or your daughter. Suffer for righteousness sake

If the original poster could message me, I want to tell you a story.

This is something very familiar and I want to share my story with you.

Hey this is on him not you! You did nothing wrong. If they donā€™t believe you itā€™s in them! Hope you find the courage and peace! Also talk to a professional

GO SEE A THERAPIST. After trauma therapy, you will know what to do. But please do not write or send pics of you and family before working through your trauma.

My best advice is therapy for at least 2 yrs.prayers for healing and strength :pray:t2::pray:t2::disappointed:

You need to talk to A GOOD THERAPIST and they will help you to be able to talk to your family, you may never forget but it will ease your pain.

Do not be manipulated into communicating with this sickoā€¦protect your own sanity and break ties.

Please seek professional help, this is too much for you to have to bear on your own. Talking to someone outside the family I believe will help you immensley.

You need to do what is right for you and your healing. Not what anyone else says to do. You will do what you need to do with the love and support from your husband sending love to of love and healing Kia Kaha

Fine a family therapy and go with your mom might take a few sessions good luck

Please go and get some counseling, it will help you deal with the flashbacks and your feelings.

Ok from experience tell your parents together then get therapy and ask your mom to do a few sessions with you.

U have already received some amazing advice. As a survivor of sexual abuse I send you love and strength :pray:t2::tulip::heart:

The best thing you can do is sit down with your mom and speak the truthā€¦

No question , you and they need to know x

No. Tell them Let them deal with it. Heā€™s not in prison for nothing

at least tell a counselor

Tell them or at least someone please.

I went through something similar with when I was younger. I was so scared to tell my mom. I didnā€™t think she would believe me and I thought it would start huge fights. I finally told her and felt so much better. She was totally supportive. Give your parents some credit, they might surprise you.

Tell your uncle that you are going to tell your mom then tell your parents and your husband then walk away

Tell. Your job is not to spare their feelings but to share your feelings.

Facebook is not the place for these tragedies,Iā€™m sorry but itā€™s not

Tell them the truth because you did nothing wrong.

See a counselor before you do anything. :heart:

Keep away from him if he gets out keep your children away from him

First I would get professional help.

No. You donā€™t have to send him anything. I would go talk to a therapist for your sake.

You will not have peace if you donā€™t let someone know.

Tell your mom what happened it will somewhat give you a little peace. This way your mom wonā€™t send him pics of your family behind your back & I bet your mom will feel the heartache & guilt that she will keep this info to herself. If she wishes to tell others of her brotherā€™s abuse then let her.

donā€™t write to him and No pictures!

TELL THEM NOW AND THAN get help from a professional :cry::cry:

Get it off your chest speak to a therapist and go from there regarding how to break it to your family. This is stressing you out & stress kills. Good luck. God bless

You need to do what is best for YOU.

My advice is to decline sending pictures or having contact. Explain that you do not feel comfortable sharing pictures of your children to a prison.
You wouldnā€™t share them on social media without privacy settings right?
This way you donā€™t have to release information to people who wouldnā€™t accept the truth that you have known about their beloved convict and also sometimes what they donā€™t know canā€™t hurt you.
You have been through enough.
Thereā€™s no need to relive the pain and guilt of the soiling of your innocence just to pacify a family or anyone especially a known pedophile.
Stay clear and stay true to yourself.
I do however suggest that you seek counseling for the trauma you experienced. Whether or not you realize it there are detrimental affects caused by abuse especially at such a young age. You need to heal, please allow yourself to.
