I'm not so sure how much to say here. Hi I guess would be appropriate.

Like most people I was abused, though I think perhaps abuse is the wrong word, but when I was a child there was a sexual relationship with with a parent. Things started sexually for me from longer than I have been able to make memories, around 4 I guess and then ended when I was 16.

Some days I'm angry, most days I feel guilty for my part in it all. Everyday I'm just confused.

I hope to meet some good people here.
 
Hello Secretshadows, welcome to the forum.

Sadly, I don't think the word abuse is the wrong word at all.

If I have understood correctly, then a 'sexual relationship' with a parent from the age of 4, is abuse.

I think you have every right to feel angry. You have no reason to feel guilty, but that emotion is very common following sexual abuse. I hope you will find the information and support here a benefit to you. We look forward to hearing more from you, and getting to know you better. (all in your own time, of course).

Well done for being able to write what you have and for seeking support.

Regards
CB
 
Hi there Secretshadows,

CB has said it all. You are every welcome here - and I hope it helps.

I hope you are in therapy? It is very hard to deal with this alone.

Regards
