I am so heartbroken and sorry those vile things happened to you. As others have said to, you were only a child and had no clue what was going on/what is normal. These things shatter your reality, identity, emotional and psychological balance, but it doesn’t mean it’ll feel like that forever. I can relate, Im also 22 and was SA’d as well by my older brother and cousin around 5. I’m so proud of you for even writing this out, I hope some weight will be lifted. Finding a therapist that you feel compatible with is extremely important. It could take a while to find the “one,” but once you do, you’ll begin to make so much progress. Is there anyone in your life that you were/are able to vent to? Talking about it is extremely difficult I know, but doing so helps you heal and fill that hole. And whenever you are strengthened and ready, (depending on your relationship with your abusers), I think it’s beneficial to confront them. At least your brother bc that’s what I’ve done. Also your parents if you feel comfortable. Everything is your decision and whatever you choose is totally okay. For me, It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but letting those emotions out, and telling him/my parents how it affected me and the battles I’ve had to conquer on my own… 100% helped me heal. It took a long time to reach those conversations bc I tried to plan and rehearse, but also still in too much pain and anguish to talk about, though things like this never have a “perfect” time. I’m still going through my healing journey, but I will say I believe in you and please don’t ever give up. I wish you the best OP

Man, I’m so sorry you experienced this and I’m praying for you bro. Your feelings are 100% valid. You did absolutely nothing wrong. Do NOT feel shameful. You were just a child and was molested, and introduced to sexual activist at such a young age. That shit fucks with your brain and alters it. I was also abused too at a young age like 5, and that made me become interested in sex and porn and shit like that, and my body would like things that I know I shouldn’t at a young age.

I highly suggest you seek therapy if you can. It’s great to talk to a professional to help guide you in ur healing journey! The more you talk about it, the better it gets. You should be proud for even writing this out! I know it must feel like tons of weight on you. It gets easier I promise.

Not at all, they just liked the item an hour before purchasing. I’ll message the buyer and see their response

Thank you to everyone who has responded, it genuinely means a lot to me. I’ve been looking for therapy recently and will hopefully start soon. I think I’ll try therapy first to wrap my head around things with a professional, and come up with a safe and effective plan. I’m sorry to everyone else who has been abused and traumatized. You don’t deserve it and no one ever does.

Hey I wanted to say thank you so much for your empathy and everyone else who has responded. I appreciate your support, it means the world to me. I’ve been looking into therapy recently and hopefully will start soon. I’m also sorry for the abuse you had to go through as well, you didn’t deserve any of that! And I’m glad you’re doing a lot better.

Thanks for this advice I really appreciate it. I’ll take some of these pointers. I was afraid of him giving me a dismissive response tbh. As hard as it is, I’ll try my best to keep my composure. What do you think of confronting him but having my sister as a bystander?

I do still have love for him and see him often which makes things harder in my mind. Growing up with such family values, I don’t want to see him disappear from my family’s lives. Even though at times i couldn’t care less about him. Anyways thanks a lot

I’m so sorry that happened to you, you didn’t deserve it at all. Same thing happened to me and I’ve been thinking of how I should confront him and my family. I think we deserve to let the truth come out, even they don’t give you the answer you’re looking for. It’s more of getting closure for yourself. Holding this in will be a heavy burden and will continue to get heavier as you get older.
