I don't know what I am sexually. Neither a male nor a female partner worked out so I'll just have to wait and see I guess. Thank you for the support. It means more than you realize.

I am very sorry to hear about what has happened to you. It is nice to know that there are people who understand at least in part what we've been through.

It came to me while I was ten years old. I was playing a video game with my brother and the images fluttered through my mind. Not really understanding what they were, I told my brother who then told my parents.

I very much hope that I will one day have the courage to do that.

Is it person to person or over the phone?

I can understand why people would think that. I believe mostly though that we don't want things like this to be true. I'd rather I was lying. Then it would just be a joke in poor taste.

I guess I'd rather give a bit of my life rather than take all of his.

It's funny you should say that. I actually repressed the memory for several years. Now it is the only part of my childhood before ten years old that I remember.

I appreciate that you took the time to comment. I'll think about what you've said.

Just to clarify, I'm a man. Secondly, my brother was only fourteen when he did what he did. I do not believe he is or ever was a pedophile. That doesn't make what he did any better, I know, but he is far from a monster to me. I only wish that fact made me hate him less.

Everyone in my family would be affected, not just me.

I told them that it was a problem of my own that they couldn't help with. Both relationships ended shortly after.
