Any advice on how to deal with sexual abuse from a family member, the nightmares that haunt me and the flashbacks throughout the day although this happened 6 years ago & continued for 2 I thought it was over but this has me depressed for the last couple of weeks. If anyone has gone through anything similar please reply.

Hey I know how hard it can be, feeling like you are okay and then having it hit hard. I would recommend doing some therapy, there are several techniques they can use, I did a lot of CBT which helped me to deal with flashbacks ect. It is hard but you can get throught. And if you ever want to talk, I am here:)
