Hello Everyone,
I am 26 soon to be 27. I have spent most of my life in college thinking that college would save me and give me a better life. I was sexually abused by my own father for around 4-years as a teenager. I was very close to my father and it devastated me that he would not leave me alone. I turned him into children services when it began, because I was scared and my mother and brother turned on me. We went through therapy and I stopped talking after I was put back with my parents, because I didn't want my mom and brother to hate me. So, for the next few years I had to fear being rapped and let it happen once hoping that my dad would stop and it just f*cked me up worse. I slept every night with a knife next to me and feared for my life. Now I just live with so much anxiety issues and keep hoping for a way to get better and land a job that I can start my life and move forward as I have tried so hard to better myself.
 
No, I am seeing a psychiatrist only. The therapists I have seen so far have made me worse.
 
I am very sorry your mother and brother didn't support you, sorry to hear what your father did to you, but truly HORRIFIED that you were placed back into that home!!!! No wonder you are suffering right now!

I pray that this forum will be healing to you. I have appreciated the people here.

Good for you for having protected yourself and turning him in, and even for sleeping with a knife to protect yourself. You did what you had to do, and that takes courage.

Love your cat, and look forward to seeing you around the forum.
