SA?
Ok so this is my first time posting on here and actually my first time posting or even talking about this out loud.
When I was younger I’m pretty sure I was sexually assaulted by my sibling but I haven’t told anyone because he was only a year older than me. I’m 31 currently. I love my brother despite what happened and although I remember it vividly and what it entailed I try my best not to think about that time because we are both adults now and live semi decent lives. I feel like dredging that time up would render pointless. Idk I just thought typing it out loud could help me not be so closed off about it. Everything is “normal” between us and we don’t speak of that time.

I think many live with things they looking back on may seem very confusing but they have moved past and get along with person ect. Others avoided it and something brings it up to us again. I feel some can get closure from sharing in some place like this etc.
Others want to address it. is this an item that is on your mind a lot or you are rehashing over and over? if it is something like that you may need to face it.
if you did address this would it in your opinion help or hurt your current and future relationship?
@toughTiger6481 I don’t think about it often but sometimes it sneaks into my mind. We were both young so it’s why it’s hard for me to hold it against him. I think maybe he saw something and was experimenting not knowing what it was or meant. Or maybe I’m making these excuses so I don’t have to face the truth myself.
@TR2025
I get it..... when young some things that seemed like it could be mild experimentation...
but with 20/20 hindsight or by judging by other criteria it may seem like it might be something else. people also have different memories of every event and in my life the farther back the event was the hazier it gets from all perspectives.
