[quote=Anonymous]I can't read through this whole thread but I did want to contribute as I had a very similar experience personally in that a sibling came into my room for a number of years as a child.  I have never come out to my parents about this or confronted my brother.  I have told my DH and a few close friends and my sister as I wanted to know if this had happen to her.  She says it didn't and confirmed that I can NOT reveal this to our parents as it would devastate them.

This whole experience the last couple weeks of this being in the news has been a combination of personally horrifying as it makes me relive something that I have tried very hard to forget and also a little bit reassuring in a weird way that something that has greatly affected me my whole life and forced me to feel like a hypocrite in continuing to have a relationship with my brother (who aside from this issue for a few years when he was a child, I actually like) is not "wrong" of me to feel.

I was left frozen last week when my mother out of the blue started talking about Josh Duggar and how disgusted she was with him and the horrific punishment she described that she felt was appropriate.    She has absolutely no idea and this would kill her and devastate our family.  It also oddly felt good to know she didn't condone this and was disgusted by it.

I guess I don't really know where my input fits in this discussion but I guess for me, a victim of incestual sexual abuse, this feels like something that is probably much more common than any of us want to realize and for me it has nothing to do with conservative or christian beliefs.  My family is very liberal.

I am a professional educated woman married with two beautiful children and a success career.  I am a victim like these girls and the bottom line is there are no easy answers.  This hurts everyone.  Just know that in your efforts to protect your own children life is cruel and brutal sometimes and you probably don't have the ability to know everything that goes on.  Don't assume you and your family are immune.   [/quote]
