Abused ove 10 years ago, Just reported it, some help please!!!

see… I moved 2 states away… because I felt the same about restraining orders. Do you have a self defense weapon? (a gun?) If anyone were to break into your house and try anything, you can legally shoot them. Have you told your parents about this?

The only advice I can give is… expect change. Alot of it. This is something that will drastically change your life, hopefully for the better. Perhaps once your parents know they can better sort things out.

Never let anyone silence you.

trying going to www.RAINN.com for their online hotline. it helped me.

I wrote a letter to my mum this morning and left it at home for her to read, so she will know by the time i get home from work this afternoon. and she will tell dad so they will know. We do have a gun but i donno about that idea. Its so frightening. and im worried my parents are going to be angry with me since my dad is leaving to a new job out of town, and things are changing. I dont know what to do.

I forgot to tell you… You are not alone! I spoke at a anti sexual abuse meeting for foster parents and had about 4 ladies well into middle age come to me and tell me that they had been sexually abused but never told anyone because they didn’t think it happened often and that no one would believe them. Total complete strangers! and they had the courage to tell me. Congratulations on coming out about it, that’s not very easy.

Thank you so much. Im so scarred that he will come after me I have just moved home with my parents and we live in the very same house we have lived in all my life we live out of town on a property. My dad’s leaving to go to a new job in another town so he wont be home so much anymore. it scares me alot worried that he will come and hurt me or my family. im the eldest. a restraining order isnt going to do anything. the police are a while away if something were to happen.
