Hi there ladies!... I have a court case coming up this month, very nervous about it. Since finding out that one of my children were being sexually abused by him, it's turned our world's upside down and Ive been finding it a real struggle to keep going about my business and stay positive. Have started counselling for it and have started taking antidepressants as it is greatly hard for myself to accept that this has happened due to it happening to myself growing up.. it's something I've had to try to stop thinking about as now I can hardly trust a soul anymore. What's worse is my child is very young and doesn't understand any of what was happening at the time and thought it was normal, he said he had told his sibling but sibling had alot going on at the time too ... The worst part about all of this is I was hyperthetically in a relationship with him and I use that term because it didn't really feel like a relationship at all... If only I knew what I know now ... Guess it's going to take along time to heal from this with my children and myself.. I'm so scared about all of it, not knowing what to expect on the day. What to say to my children. Everything

I understand how you feel and have walkedthis path. Some days I wonder how I was ever going to rise again but I have and so have the kids. Lots of counselling, lots of being very honest, allowing myself and the kids to be angry. Having friends who I could confide in and trust tohave my back helped. Above anything just time and our belief that what happened was just a chapter and would not define us.
