Child Abuse Story ofHealing and Recovery From Mik

by Mik
(Northern Ireland)




Sisters United: 
I've been lucky. I'm now 40. I was sexually abused by my brother aged 8-9. I can't remember when I told my parents, I've blocked it out, it was some time during my 20's but they chose to not deal with it & still let him away with all his crap. He still emotionally damages me and only last month told me I'm spoilt and selfish. I'd like to disown him but I did it before and it only caused more hassle with parents/wider family gatherings etc. Anyway the reason I'm lucky is I have a great understanding and accepting husband. But I also found a 'sister' who was abused by her brother and together we have grown in confidence, strength and self esteem. We even have a special day on May 12th every year (the date we disclosed our secrets) and we go out and spoil each other. She also has issues of anger towards her mother for not protecting her or punishing her son. This is why I'm so lucky as I've found my mirror image who feels what I feel & makes the road ahead lighter & brighter. I hope someone out there is as lucky as me to find a sister to unite with against the world xo

Chosen sisters are wonderful to embrace as family. We all need people in our lives who can relate to us and empathize. I'm delighted you've found such a person. I also hope the relationship is one of not only sharing the awful things that happened, but that there is a friendship that is healthy and focuses on the positive as well. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
