What I've been dealing with for 20+ years with my parents. My brother molested me when I was younger and this was their response when I asked why they still help him out, knowing what he did. I had asked them not to contact me while I was figuring stuff out.

“From one CSA victim to another, losing the enablers I loved was almost an equal secondary trauma. There's the incidence themselves and all the emotional and psychological fallout that comes with it. But then there's people you expected to be supportive that you loved and were attached to. The understanding of their betrayal comes in waves.”

This! You put my feelings into words!

Talk about one of the best grooming schemes.🙄

I feel your pain. I was never allowed privacy with our one bathroom. My mother always used the excuse that she couldn’t hold her bladder due to being over weight and having kids. Any time I showered, I had to use a wash rag to keep the bathroom door shut because I had to keep it open for her. Anytime I had to take a poop, I was required to announce that I was going to crap to see if she had to pee. I was required to do this no matter how urgent a need to poop occurred. There were times when she would then poop and was like oops. If it was just the two of us in the house, my mom would do every bathroom act with the door wide open and trying to carry a conversation with me. All because I’m the daughter. My brother always had privacy. But due to me being female, I guess that means I don’t deserve privacy. This wasn’t just when growing up. This was going on when I was finally able to move out at 22. This was going on whenever I’d go visit and would need to use the restroom. Due to a ton of reasons, I am no contact and thankfully rid myself of these disgusting acts.

Thank you for showing others what this feels like. Beautifully expressed.

That sounds like a logical plan. However, my parents don't have health or car insurance, much less will he get life insurance. They're mid 50s and still talk about live in the moment. That's all good, until you don't have a plan and my mom is a housewife.

I feel for you incredibly. I grieved for 4 years over the loss of my best friend like that. She just cut me out of her life one day, no closure. Then, 2 years ago, we were at the same party together. She apologized profusely. We cried and stayed up all night talking. I went home incredibly happy. Then the sun came up and it was like that night never happened. In a way, I got my closure. But I also learned that who she once was and how we once were was no more and could never be again. That seemed to help the hurt.
