This is something i planned to take to my grave honestly. But i am writing it here anyway because why not, right? I was touched by my older brother for years. Groping touching fondling everything except penetration. I was 8-10 years old i believe. It stopped when he went abroad. I did not remember any of this at all. A year before, my brother texted me apologizing for abusing me, saying he felt guilty, and he was institutionalized in a mental facility with severe depression. I told him i didnt remember any of it, and he said, 'you were just a kid and way too naive, your mind probably blocked it out' And we have never talked about it since. But since then, randomly, i get pieces of memories of it all. And the worst part is, i used to giggle. I did not know this was bad- my mother never had the bad touch talk with me either. Maybe i liked the attention. But now i the more i recall, the more filthy i feel. I feel like a whore somehow. Every friend i ever had ended up falling in love with me, maybe i manipulate people into liking myself? Is there a way to just...stop ? I dont knoe what im asking but, like, is there a way you can just stop thinking, stop feeling, stop hurting- just stop?
I wanna give you the biggest hug rn. Your brother's apology and supposed "guilt" pisses me off cause it changes nothing. As hard as it is, please remember none of this is your fault. You must be an amazing person for people around you to fall in love. Hang in there. Accepting and moving forward after trauma is always hard. You could consider therap...... reply
