Hi Sam,

I'm glad that youre posting here at this site. You can find help for what you've been through. Here you will find support. Try reading through some of the posts on the other threads, many have listed helpful advice and have told thier own stories of sexual abuse.

If you are even talking about it here or anywhere else, this is an important first stetp in recovering from the trauma. Have you talked to any adults about this yet?

Samantha,

I'm sorry you have had so much to deal with.

I would like to offer my welcome as well.

Additionally, the part of your post that sticks out to me most- is your age and that you have not told.

I whole heartedly believe you should tell someone-

I understand how hard that can be - I was 15 when I shared my secret with my mom.

Would you be comfortable discussing why you feel you cannot tell? Perhaps we can talk you through some of your concerns with telling and get you past the apprehension.

Honey, the truth has a way of letting itself be known - please don't make it harder on yourself - You brother NEEDS HELP. You need validation and healing - The secret is not helping either of you.

Please, let us help you get comfortable enough to talk.

Blessings to you,

Balue

Welcome Samantha. It particularly touches me to see that you are so young. Be gentle with yourself and take the time you need to feel comfortable here.
