Answer #1

I agree with what mechelins said - you’re doing the right thing and being very brave - praying for guidence certain helped me - a true friend will help/support you…I wish you the very best, you’ll be in my thoughts and prayers !!

Answer #2

… I how you feel…I was scared to tell any one for years mmm about 10 years while it was happening and then a year after it stopped it was not untill recently that I spoke up about it…I didn’t tell my family though they not a huge part of my life…but I did tell people in whom I trust dearly and it has really helped me..just the exsposure..alone.

Don’t worry about what your family may or may not say..or may think or may not think..not to be rude but it really does not martter…you need to get some help talk therapy is one of the best ways to deal with it..you have PTSD I am not a Dr. though and I am not to sure either way…I am really familar with the prossess going through it my self..it takes time a lot of time..years and years some times depends on the person…the hurt I do not think fully goes away but you learn to deal with it and move on.

Rmember God is in control and He loves you…Although I can not understand at times why he allows so much evil in this world I still believe that he is God..and although he could have stoped any thing from happening in your life..mine or any one else he didn’t and it must be for good reason.. God allows eveil..but the bible says in Romans that all things work together for GOOD…it took me 12 years to begin to see that but it really is true…some times we just don’t see the good of it…this will make you a stronger and better person..a more humble and compassionate one too…or if you let it it can destory you…and eat you up from the inside out..but that is only if you your self allow it to do so.

There is no good way or bad way to tell them..you just have to get up and do it…write them a letter if you can’t find the words to tell them in person.. I think that they will understand and by the way it is in no way your fault..so don’t think it is..even if you had went up and asked for it it would not be your fault at all…Adults know better.

Good Luck and please Fun Mail me and let me know how it goes..I will keep you in Prayer though.

Answer #3

People make plans and God laughs, just wing it there is no right or wrong way to tell them all you have to do is just do it and I know that this is not an easy thing to do alone it is far easier to just say it then it will ever be to do it though.. I will keep you in prayer and God Bless.

well first off i would like to say your very brave to be asking for help. i think you should pray about it. and then with the strength of God go tell someone you truely trust. and if they are a true friend they will help you confront your family about it. you shouldnt be scared cause your family should love you no matter what!! you are special in Gods eyes no matter what anyone thinks!
