I happened to stumble upon this site and found your post. I just wanted to share with you that I also am an incest survivor. I understand the shame and guilt. I have had counseling upon counseling and found that it’s a lifetime journey. As we age and mature different areas of the abuse take meaning and have to be delt with.

I’m sure you’ve heard it before but please know that it was not your fault. It is a sickness within the mind of the abuser. You were a child, an innocent that the abuser took advantage of and controlled.

When sexuality is awakened in children so young love becomes a misnomer and we have no concept of what it truly means.

I will pray for you on your journey. I have embraced my past and know that it has made me the strong woman I am today. I can endure anything. I know you will come out the other side a stronger, more complete woman.

Blessings
