Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Lisa
by Lisa
I had been sexually abused by my older brother, older than me by almost ten years. It started when I was very young, I mean like toodler aged. I am not going to go into detail too much, but he made me do things to him that no small child should have to,he also did things to me. Anything you can imagine short of penetration, that's the only thing he didn't do. It went on for years until the age of 8 when he married and moved out. My mom or dad never knew until I finally told around age 11, because he had done the same thing to my older cousin, except with her there was penetration. It has been hard for her and me me being 38 now and her 40. It has made me and my cousin very close more like sisters because of this horrible thing he done to us, she gained a lot of weight being a stress eater, and I turned to drugs. We have both came a long way. I have been drug free now for years, and she saw a therapist, and I did as well. I was diagnosed with ptsd, and medication and therapy has helped, but neither one of us can forget. I have forgave him just for my own sanity..but anything traumatic, is just hard to forget.
