News of Sexual Abuse and Incest Forum

I just realized that I latch on incredibly hard to rescue fantasies and characters that are in the "savior" role. It seems I latch onto characters who are a bit "scarier" too. I think it's the idea that they're strong and not afraid of anything. Does anyone else do this? We have DID and I realized we have split a ton of protectors too.

Exactly as the title says, They told me it was my fault for being ‘such a pretty girl’. Until recently I haven’t been able to discuss it. From the age of 9 dad sexually abused me along with my brother who was 12 at the time. I’ve never known a mum. Dad not only encouraged him to have sex with me and do what he wanted with me, he showed him how to do it ...

Hi everyone. I'm in my late 30s, male and I'm struggling with memories of being abused by my mother.
All my early years I've lived with the idea that something was wrong with me down there, because she was constantly checking my penis and testicles, making sure "everything was ok". At some point, around the age of 10 or something like that she started telling me how small it was and took me to a ...

hi all, I've just joined.

I've just got out of a long term, quite abusive relationship. It was a meeting of two cluster B types and very dramatic at times.

I (male) was sexually abused in my teenage years which I'd repressed for a long time. Both my parents are narcissists, which I have eventually realised, through years of therapy, has led to BPD traits.

The biggest problem I had in the relationship I just ...

I'm mortified. My youngest child told me that his elder brother sexually abused him from ages 4-6. There is a 10 year age gap between them, which means his elder brother was 14-16 at the time. I had the hardest conversation of my life confronting him about. He admitted to doing it but also said he did not realize that what he did was wrong until he became older. Where have I gone wrong? How ...

I am asking for the opinion of professionals. This is a case from many years ago that haunts me.

I was 11 years old at the time, I was taking care of my 3-year-old sister in the absence of my mother. Most often in our free time we watched cartoons lying on the bed.
One day, while watching cartoons, I look at my sister and I can't believe my eyes - she was masturbating. Through ...

it was brought to my attention at a counselling center that people were targeting women who were abused.. because they were abusers.. they figured damaged women would be easy targets. My therapist was blown away. sick just sick

I am not sure why I am posting this… I am not even sure if this is a post that fits here… I just didn’t know where else to put it… and I feel like I just have to say it out loud even if no one listens.

This is a sexual abuse forum, and I don’t even know if my past qualifies.

Ugh, how do I start? I am a 54 year old male ...

This is the first time I've posted on this site and I'm not sure what to say.

I'm a male in my 20's and have been in psychotherapy for two years now for sexual abuse that happened to me when I was growing up. My therapist said it might be beneficial to check out some online communities that deal with what I'm going through, so that's how I ended up here.

I never wanted to ...
