Sexual abuse?

Just wondering if anyone else has been through this or is it just me? My parents sexually abused me and let other men abuse me in return for money. I feel so disgusting but luckily I'm in care now. Just wondered if I was alone, cause I feel it...

Since this is a charity board that supports troubled youth or something along those lines you probably will find a good number of people on here who have been through similar experiences.
I am sorry this happened to you, I wish you the best for your healing.

Hello! Are you getting any help from authorities or has the government made so many cutbacks that you feel you are alone? You can talk to me in live chat anytime. Have a talk to someone at college about it, or speak to people on youtube. You are going to university soon right?

I haven't been sexually assaulted, but I can't even imagine how you would have been feeling at the time and even now!
I've just graduated univeristy doing Fine Art and based my studio practice on Liberal Feminism and tackled these sorts of issues as they're ones I feel very strongly about.
I wish you good karma and that life works out well for you

I know there are people out there but never come across anyone struggling. That's why I came here.
I'm sorry to hear what you have been through. Yeah I have spoken to people about it but never face to face (if this makes sense?) Its always written down etc. I would like to talk to one of my carers about it but never know how to bring it up - shes always busy. How are you finding talking about it?
Hey Bmy
Thanks for the offer. Social services aren't that supportive as they don't believe what has happened. Luckily I have very supportive carers (one in particular) so that's good.
Hey Rosie
Sorry to hear about that. I'm getting there, just need to learn to let go and let others know how I am feeling instead of bottling things up.
That sounds good, I'd like to see your work sometime Would you feel comfortable posting some photos on the creative part of the boards?
Thank you, same to you x
It's great you felt able to open up and post about your feelings related to being sexually abuse. It takes courage, and as you can tell you're certainly not alone *hug*
Good news you're in care now with what seems like some supportive carers. You say you want to speak to one but she's too busy? Is there any way you can ask her to find some time so you can open up to her about it more?
Do you also have any friends you can speak to?
What you said is also important to highlight;
Remember you can keep posting here and also if you ever feel very low, please call Samaritans as they give good support too :yes:
