Tell me
I was sexually abused when I was 6? By my cousin who was much older and it continued till I was 10. thankfully, my family moved out of the country and I've been living a peaceful life since then. But the flashbacks keep occurring. And my cousin who abused me also abused my other cousin who was my age and she's still in the same place as him -which I'm terrified about especially bc of the quarantine! i was also touched by perverts when I was in the country like 5 times or more along w the sexual abuse from my cousin. I don't think it's rape bc I was stripped naked but he had his pants and underwear on. it's been 5 years I'm in highschool. 𝕊𝕙 𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕀 𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕞𝕪 𝕞 𝕞? She's my bestfriend and I don't want this burden. And I want to write or talk about this on my resume for personal statement for college. I'm ashamed. the only person who knows ab this is my friend who went thru the same thing. tell me. 𝕊𝕙 𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕚? And 𝕙 𝕨? I'm not telling my dad bc my cousin is from my dad's side -he's my dads late older brother, my late uncle's son. I've been sexually harassed half of my life now. help me.
@lovingCurrent233 I think many of us feel shame lingering from our past trauma, and it's difficult to open up about it. It sounds like you would like to tell your mother. If you did, what would you say to her?
Thank you, Current, for sharing your story here <3
@ZeppelinsOverhead thank you and I'll just take her to a park or something and I'll just say it "---- raped me" I'm not going to say that he raped my other cousin also bc her parents are the type to get mad at Her and they'll probably slap her -even if it isn't her fault. Or maybe I'll tell her and make sure she won't tell anyone.
@lovingCurrent233 I'm glad you're cautious about revealing your cousin's situation. It may be more delicate than anyone knows, right? I hope your mother is supportive if/when you decide to tell her. 7cups will be here for you!
@ZeppelinsOverhead thank you!
