Would anyone else like to talk about what happened to them? *Trigger sexual assault, child abuse*

[Thisnamechanger]

In the wake of the MJ documentary...

Would anyone else who has never been able to voice it before like to have a safe space to let things out?

I'll go first.

My grandad.

My adoptive father.
My adoptive mother both facilitated it and blamed/hated me for it

I'm sorry this happened to you both adults should have protected you.

Mother. Father. Brother. Complete stranger.

Older brother :(

Cousin.
Daughter of mum's workmate.

4 brothers, father. First husband and a previous boyfriend. Thanks for
starting this thread, safe spaces are important. I have been cross examined in a legal and familial way, it's cathartic just to be able to tell someone. Ironically, I think that once you've been abused it makes it more likely to occur subsequently, but unfortunately authorities and families are inclined to disbelieve that one person can be a victim of so many people's selfish behaviour.
And then they wonder why children don't disclose abuse! The system just abuses the victim further!

Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to rant but it's an issue we're going through as a family in a different capacity 🙁

I misread the OP, I have disclosed this before. Sorry for derailing

Older brother

A teacher.
Recently found out that a previously close friend who I had lost touch with was also a victim of the same creepy bastard st the same time.

Friends older brother. I’ve told no one, until now.

I didn’t used to think that mine counted as I was almost 14 to the age of 15 when I was obviously getting too old but watching that RKelly documentary I think it does.
He was a dad I was babysitting for.

Next door neighbour (teenager) I was 8

I have disclosed before and had extensive therapy for grooming and 7yrs of abuse, plus additional assaults and rapes. Therapy was life changing. . Six yrs after first telling and my life is full of joy and hope and I no longer exist to battle PTSD symptoms.
Please talk, please get some support. You can live beyond and above what was done to you.

Stepmother and her friend, and yes PULYA the system is rubbish and a letdown

My step father
My mother found out and stayed with him and tried to force a relationship on to us. If I ever try to raise what he did she cries or tells me she's going to have a heart attack. I fucking hate them both

I’ve spoken of it here before, but my father, and then three sexual partners in a row in my 20s, which I’ve only had the ability to talk about recently and have only told DH. It was when all the Weinstein stuff was happening and for a while it consumed my thoughts constantly. I am doing much better now.

Bus driver who took us to school swimming lessons. I didn't tell anyone because I was convinced I would be blamed - he didn't do it to anyone else. Found out years later from DH (who used to live next door to him) that he was well known for it in the area.

Family friends, all three times. First two I was 12-14 and last one I was around 16.

14 yo cousin
I was 8
Every weekend for 6 weeks
Think about it a lot, everyday infact
I didn't realise I was sexually abused until I was about 18/19 until someone said something and it just clicked and I realised I was keeping it locked in and pushed the thoughts away until I heard a comment someone made.

I suppose I was blocking it out so if I didn't think about it then it wasn't real
