Post Secret Archive

I’m glad you did, Me too, but no one believed me.

I know how that feels. It happened to me to.

i was too, i tell people i trust.
but honestly, sometimes i think it was all a dream.
or maybe i’m still lying to myself.

i was too. and i’ve only ever told one person. but i never told them it was my cousin…i’m too ashamed that i let it happen…

You didn’t let it happen, never blame yourself. It isn’t your fault.

Your secret is the same as mine, the non secret kind. Everybody just pretended it never happened though and i was left to deal with it on my own, nobody ever talks about it now and they all carry on as normal.

I was also molested by my cousin growing up, right up until my late teens. now i am 30 and he is still trying to bother me. i have threatened action against him but his threats are more severe. he claims he loves me and always has. i hate him for the past sufferings that he has caused me and will not take that shit no more. today i take back MY life and MY future. Both will not involve him and i WILL make sure of that.

GOOD JOB

This happened between 2 of my cousins. I was the only one that took her side.

You’re braver than so many, and I’m proud of you. My coach only molested me for 8 months, he groomed me like you wouldn’t believe and when I finally woke up to what he was doing I told the police. the thing I hear most is ‘oh we all new he was like that.’ It pains me to think that so many adults could turn away, but thnen i think than i was the one person who stopped it for his future victims, and I’m proud.

Hey everyone. It seems that a lot of people that commented on here have had similar experiences. I too have had one. I know it’s really hard to get through and I am still dealing with what happened and it was 5 years ago. But there are people out there that have had the same experiences that can help you. There is a site that I found a while ago that can help. It’s called Points with Purpose and it is run by an artist David Ilan. For every survior and supporter that joins he adds a dot to a portrait he is doing for Rape and Sexual abuse. Check it out. Here’s basically what it is taken from the site:

If you have been raped or sexually abused you can join the project here (It’s free), giving your real name or an alias, and have the option of sharing your story. There is also a place in the drawing for people who want to support survivors. I add one dot for every person who joins until the drawing is complete. The final drawing will be of a woman looking confident, proud and beautiful. By joining the project, thousands of people with a shared tragic experience will work together to form a work of art meant to show others who go through similar experiences that they too can feel confident, proud and beautiful again.

This is the link to the site.

My parents divorced when I was 3. My dad was a drunk. I was molested and abused in every way by my dad from the time I was 2-12. I never told until this past summer. We never did anything about it either. Now he’s in the hospital. I used to hate him, but now I feel like I have to get over what happened and spend time with him before he dies. He’s not supposed to live past Christmas.
My mom abused me verbally and physically, though she never realized it. I never told her either. I didn’t want out relationship to be worse than it already is.
I feel sorry for my baby sister who has to live her life with a mother like that, but I’m glad she has a better father than I ever dreamed of having.

good for you!!

I’m still trying to get the courage to tell my parents about my childhood..

me too! and i feel so much better now.

I was molested too, you’re bravery to tell inspires me, I wish I could
Someday I hope I will be able to like you did.
If effects me everyday and I hate him so much
