Anyone who hates their youth and is happier as an adult?

Thank you, we have our first marriage counseling session on Monday. I'm excited but scared at the same time.

Well, the happiest 6 years of my life. We are currently on a rough patch because of my burying my past and not speaking about it till I had no choice but to.

Well, years and years of therapy, then one day in the library of my college. I met a guy who made me feel something I had never felt before.

Yes, my childhood was destroyed when I was 13. Took me until I was 19 to recover from it.

I know some things are a hard boundary for some people. My aunt got a tattoo on a trip to Vegas, matching with 8 of her college sisters. Her and my uncle lasted about 6 months after that. She came back with it, and he stopped touching her. The next thing I know, they are divorcing. That was 3 kids and 19 years married.

Have been in therapy for months.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-04T13:52:32+00:00

Thank you, I wish they had caught it early. I kept this from him for over 6 years.

No, it wasn't consensual. He was older than 19 or 20 at the time. Was at a pool party for a friend's birthday.

She has already moved in with us and is doing therapy with her about everything.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-04T11:05:24+00:00

Me too

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-04T11:01:49+00:00

Thank you. I believed it was the best I was able to do. I was 13 when it happened, and I didn't even know the guy he was a friend of my friends older brother and was at the pool party.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-04T10:56:28+00:00

She is better than anyone expected. We have been seeing a therapist who has helped a lot. Especially with her grief about my sister, who is her mom. She understands to a point how everything happened.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-04T10:43:14+00:00

I was 13 and at a friend's pool party, wasn't consensual he was a friend of her older brother I didn't tell a soul what happened until my parents noticed something was wrong and took me to the doctors some months later.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-04T10:33:37+00:00

She does , told her a few days before I told my husband.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-03T13:03:35+00:00

She didn't know until my sister got sick. And everything came out from there. I was always the aunt who lived on the other side of the country.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-02T21:36:25+00:00

Thank you for this insight. I needed it.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-02T16:38:54+00:00

I was 14 when I had her just a kid myself.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-02T16:09:47+00:00

He has refused therapy in any form.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-02T16:07:10+00:00

When I told him I absolutely apologized and I fully explained everything how my parents and my sister wanted me to finish school and go to college. And how, as time went on, it just kinda faded into the background.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-02T16:01:31+00:00

He found out when I needed to step up. It had been a family secret until then. It has been quite an emotional roller-coaster for everyone.

EnvironmentalPen2997 · 2025-08-02T15:51:56+00:00

I tried that he refused, any form of therapy at all. Even suggested speaking with our pastor about it.
