[quote=Anonymous]Several…

I was molested by a family member as a child (probably ages 7-9). My family was very fragile (my dad was always threatening to leave my very unstable mother) and this person told me that if I told anyone, I’d break up my family. So I didn’t tell a soul.

I called the cops on my dad when I was 8 because he was beating my brother and I was scared. My dad shamed me so bad after that call.

I attempted suicide at 21.  Only my mom and dad know (and presumably my stepmother). I was in a psych ward for a week. After my dad picked me up from the hospital, we never mentioned it again.

I suffered from suicide ideation for 15 years. I’ve called the crisis line several times. The last time - several, several years ago - the man said something to the effect of, “You matter.” And it was so basic and so life changing at the same time.

It all feels like a sad past life. I am now happily married and children. I love my life. I am estranged from most of my family of origin. [/quote]
