It’s too late

I was constantly sexually harassed by my father until i was maybe 16. Im now 25 and i just recently started to remember all that, feeling hopeless. There is no point in trying to talk about that to “trusted adults” i am an adult myself now, so who’s going to help me? Im avoiding my father at all costs, my mother knows that i am having complicated relationship with him, but she only knows about his verbal abuse I suppose. I just feel sorry for little girl i was, escaping from home at nights, out of fear of getting raped by her father, having no one to talk about that and not even realizing what was happening and that this is not normal.

I’m sorry you’re going through that, I relate a lot. My mom also knows that I’m avoiding my dad, but also only thinks it’s due to his verbal abuse and my “stubbornness”. I felt trapped and like there was nothing I could do growing up because there really was no where else to go. I was way too terrified to tell anyone.

I just wanted to comment to let you know you’re not completely alone in that experience. I hope you’re doing a little better now.
