I am 27 years old and am finally getting my life together. I was molested at the age of 12 and that is when I knew that it wasnt the first time. I told my parents and my father proceeded to make arrangements to meet my Uncle (the molester) to set him up for revenge. My father proceeded to beat up severly my abuser and leave him in the middle of no where. That was the last I spoke of my abuse to my parents. They believed that if you forgot about it, the problem would go away. Well it didnt, memories came back that there were other occasions of abuse that I remembered and I went into a deep depression., thinking daily of suicide. By the time I was 17 I entered therapy and got help. In my early 20's I went to the doctor and realized that I wasnt a virgin, although I had assumed I was. My abuse was more severe then I had realized. I had been raped and I had no idea. I married and memores of my abuse followed along with the fact that I married an abusive husband. He is manic depressive , has a drinking problem and is verbally abusive. Two months ago he came home drunk and raped me. And all the memeries and feelings of pain have come back of the past more then ever before. Over the course of time I have also found out that my brother and sister were also sexually abused and my mother attacked by the same man that abused me. I come from a long line of sexual abuse but have chosen to stop the cycle with me. I am in therapy and am taking back my life finally after so many years.
