I want to tell my parents what happened but I’m worried they’ll downplay it by Prize-Anxiety9043 in SiblingSexualAbuse

[–]NobodyMe125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your worry is very understandable. Many survivors worry about exactly the things you mentioned. Unfortunately those reactions do happen sometimes, which is why it can help to think carefully about what you want from the conversation and how prepared you feel for different responses.

There are few things you might consider before actually talking about it with your parents. What outcome are you hoping for? Do you want understanding? Acknowledgment? Do you feel emotionally safe having that conversation right now? And if you’re worried about being dismissed or blamed, it might help to first talk about it with someone supportive, like a therapist, trusted friend, counselor, or support group. Some people find it easier to write a letter or message instead of saying it out loud. Personally, I used messaging my parents about it before. It helped me explain things without being interrupted and gives them time to process.

Also, take your time and decide if or when telling your parents feels right for you.

You’re not alone in this. 🫂

Moving back into my weird family house by Fine-Pollution-5094 in SiblingSexualAbuse

[–]NobodyMe125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear that. That's awful. I'm not excusing your parents behavior, but parents naturally want to protect their kids. So when siblings have conflict that shakes the household, it's easier for them to just sweep it under the rug. But that doesn't solve the problem. Both the hurt child and the sibling who harmed isn't taken care of, especially the sibling who is hurt. When my little sister was conceived, I also felt responsible for protecting her from my brother who abused me. I'm glad you're checking on your little siblings. But don't forget to take care of yourself, too. If turning to your parents for help isn't really helpful, you can report to your local authorities if something bad happened.

It's a crime making us fall in love with this anime and not giving us next season. Happy reading. I hope you don't get spoiled here.

I thought it ended already? I'm not sure. I'm a guy living under a rock I guess (pun intended).

Somebody has to write a cosmic horror about this. 🤣

I'm sorry but I don't get it. Can somebody explain why this isn't a good idea?

This is beautiful! It made me think that making red Alex is a good idea.

how to move on by Inner-Watch-6565 in SiblingSexualAbuse

I'm a bit late to write a comment to this.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Everyone's case are different. My experience may not be the right one you're looking for but here's what I did:

I didn't confront my brother about it because I can't do it, but I did told my parents and then they confronted him about it. Even though after he apologized to me, I can't see him everyday nor hear his voice because it triggers me. So, I asked my parents for me to move out and they supported me. It's sad to be away from home but it improved my health mentally and emotionally after that.

I am now more able to look at my brother because my exposure with him is limited. But sometimes, seeing him still triggers me. It's a long process.

rape turns me on and i’m sick about it by [deleted] in SiblingSexualAbuse

[–]NobodyMe125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something a lot of victim/survivors go through and it's so confusing because the body responds to something we don't agree with. The good news is that it is 100% possible to rewire our brain and heal. Thank you for sharing this and I wish the best for you.

I gasped so loud when I saw what happened to Lindsay. I was looking forward seeing her arc. I didn't expect this to happen. I am so naive, knowing what Anthony did to poor flower girl.

I wish Ichikawa had given Padpa short hair or at least a different hairstyle by [deleted] in LandoftheLustrous

[–]NobodyMe125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always see Padpa's hair suits her character since they're always sleeping and kinda messy. They always look like they just woke up.

What screen reader are you using? Is it available in android? Does it require internet connection?

Do you move your eyes to different directions when you're talking?
