A Chance To Confront My Past

[moonstream]

I was sexually abused by both my aunt and uncle (along with my sister and my cousin) when I was 9. My aunt passed after a short battle with lung cancer 2 years ago and about 5 years ago my uncle committed suicide in their garage. The other day I was garage saleing on that side of town and I saw that the new owner was having a sale. It took me several min to get out of the car and make my way to the house and garage where my abuse took place but i went, I was shaking like a leaf but I went. The lady mentioned that she had done remodeling inside of the house. I figured that it should be different enough so I asked for a tour. It was Not different enough. The bathroom where we were forced to shower together when I was just a child was still there along with the curtains in the living room that were always closed. I thought I was ready, but I really wasn't. The flashbacks are now worse than ever. My man is very supportive but this is not something that he can understand. I just need someone to share my story and help me finish my last steps towards total healing (if there is such a thing).
