Hi,

We've been thinking about our abuse a lot lately (reckon it's a trauma anniversary around now, hard to say things are so fuzzy) and more and more horrifying and sickening memories keep coming back to me. It only went for a year starting when we were 6, but the man who did this to us was a juniour teacher, and since then has worked as a proper teacher, a special education teacher, and a ...

Hey I just had to cut a “friend” off due to bullying and sexual harassment and I couldn’t do it anymore because of my mental health suffering. And now I feel guilt, I experience flashbacks, I have trust issues now and paranoia etc. but the number one troubling symptom is sudden onset of depression. I was fine earlier and then the depression just came back. It just came on all of the sudden. It feels ...

Hi, something had been bothering me lately. It involves my past abuse, one of my coping methods and my current outlook about sexuality; the latter most likely heavily influenced by worsening OCD in addition to my background.

Growing up, I (24, M) had experienced SA in the hands of my family members, some direct and most of them indirect. They have stopped, but I'm afraid it might have left me with quite the unhealthy state ...

I've read several of these stories and figured it's time for me to share. Just a warning up front my brain doesn't look at the things in my past the way it should. After reading your stories and reading your reactions to the things that happened to you I can tell you for sure that I'm very much abnormal.

I'm a 46 year old guy. When I was a kid around 7 - 10 years ...

I have unfortunately made the decision of reaching out to my dad after not speaking for a while. Due to the abuse, I go through phases of extreme hypersexuality. During those phasing I've always fantasized about reconnecting with my father but after I masturbate, that feeling immediately goes away and I become disgusted with myself and almost want to throw up. This week was really bad for my hypersexuality and I finally (I don't even ...

**TRIGGER WARNING**


I don't know how this works, first time posting here.
I have an unimaginable amount of guilt for the sexual abuse I endured from my father. For as long as I can remember, I honestly just thought I was just normal. I don't remember when it started but I do remember that it just always was. It ended when I was in grade 9 (so 15) and I remember being so confused why ...

Hi, I am new to the forum and my first post. I have been troubled by something I observed over the holiday. In short, I am a SA survivor at the hands of my Bio Father. This was many years ago and long story short, I have all the leftover scars THUS, I may be hypersensitive to other children's experiences.

My SIL is VERY aggressive with my grands. He forces them to hug him all ...

i was abused by someone a year older. i was 8 or something.
it wasnt forcible rape but more like he coerced me, initiated it 1st time and now i recall and understand, he would do stuff, touch me in places to turn me on.

it sucks that i still have fantasies for him. n for other men in the sense i want to be treated badly. he still owns me.

i dont hate myself. ...

I didn’t realize until many years later just how much I was gaslit and manipulated during my abuse from the ages of 11 to 15.

I’d tell him during one of our many “weekend trips: “Idk how much more ploughing I can take( My father explained the meaning of the word to me and how it pertained to sex). It’s been all day, I need to stop for a bit.

And he’d say: “just a ...
