Question by Miome: How do I protect my nieces from my pedophile father when my brother and sister don’t believe me?
I am a 38 year old woman who recovered memories of incest and sexual abuse 8 years ago. At the time I just started my recovery from drug addiction (a direct consequence of the sexual abuse). I told my family and my brother and sister don’t believe me that this happened. They have regular contact with my parents and I fear for their children’s safety. What do I do?
I live in Cape Town, South Africa. The place my parents live is about 1200km away from me. I will keep telling my siblings. To “skepdic” pls DON’T tell me I’ve made this up, because it happened to me and suppressed memories is in fact a very creative way the mind protects you when you are unable to deal the trauma. 90% (if not more) of sexual abuse reports are COMPLETELY TRUE and accurate. Child sexual abuse is extremely damaging! and survivors need to be believed, not victimised even further.
that is “deal with the trauma”
