Help Sexually abused by my brother?!


Question: Help Sexually abused by my brother?
When I was 5-7 maybe , I don't remember exactly, my brother used to sexually abuse me. I'm not sure if I am making this up or not, because I was so little. I'm 12 now and I haven't told anyone this. I think its my fault that I was sexually abused. He hasn't talk about it, and we act like nothing even happened when were are around each other. He is my half brother and is 21. We are really close I guess. I see him maybe once every 2-3 months. We talk through Facebook though. I don't want to tell my mom about this at all, because I don't want this to hurt him. I know that he was either 15 or 16 when he did this. I know that if this really happened he wouldn't of done it again if he thought it over. Should I tell anyone?

Will honey. I'm sorry to hear that. Ya know, that your slightly effected by this...idk if he took your virginity or what? But It does help to go to a psychitrist and talk it over so you can identify with yourself & maybe go on in life without contempt or a slight disgust for your bro. And depending on how you feel you can talk it over to your bro,...because 15 is an age where you should be wise enough to know what your doing is wrong or right. Ok, I saw your posting and just had to send you this msg because I just found out yesterday Mo'Nique was sexually abused by her brother. I would watch her movie 'Precious' she said she was able to play that role because of her childhood experience of being sexually abused. Her bro went on Oprah & appologized but it was just bad. I think that your situation mightve been slightly dift. But you could atleast know your not alone...but youtube her honey! Keep your head up high and stay focus of your dreams! Don't let this pull you down and don't be overly permiscuous, don't resent or be rudee 2 ppl because of you holding your issues in. You gotta let it out! Mo'Niques held it in and & she lost relationships and divoursed 2 or 3 times! So I hope this helps! Love ya...Idk you but I still love you! *Hugs*

We lack sympathy and compassion in this world,



It is not your fault. You are 12 so you need to reach out to someone. If you want to keep it private from your family now, that is fine, the important thing is for you to talk about it now! At your school is their a guidance officer? Is their a public health unit? Your doctor is also an option to begin discussions. Remember, you did nothing wrong and it is ok to talk about it. You need to do it for you.



You should begin by telling your parents and then start seeing a therapist and then it will up to you at that time and your parents whether charges should be brought on your half-brother. You could have had temporary amnesia to block out the pain and humiliaton of the event and that is why you are not sure if it really happened or not. Please get help immediately.



i don't think that a 6 yo would imagine being sexually abused confront him about it.
but not in a dark alley way be smart about it plan for the worst (violent outburst).



Tell your close family, depending on how you and the person are related now
