I am  22 years old. When I was 6 years old, I was sexually abused by one of the relatives. I had no idea about it, as I was just a child. But when I understood that was not a normal thing, I was very upset. It is now making me sad and I am suffering a lot from it. I also have OCD problems. I can't study properly because it is triggering myself all the time. I was thinking of telling about this to my parents, but how will they react is making me sad. I always try to be happy, but things are getting worse day by day. How will they react when they will hear that their son was raped at the age of six. I am going to consult with a doctor about my OCD problem, should I also ask help for it? I am feeling shy and embarrassed to tell this. How can I overcome this problem? Can anyone help me? Should I tell my parents? How can I tell it?

    Hi dxlk, j know it's slightly different but at age 19 then aged 25 2 separate people forced me have sex against my will. You need help with this, go see your doctor and ask to be referred to as counsellor that specialises in what is caused complex PTSD. You were abused as a child. You need to break down what has happened to you and may need medication too. Aw bless you I'm so sorry some thug did this to you. Good luck let me know how you get on.

    Hi. Some how you need to tell them or one of them, try not to let it drag on.

    When i happened to me i never told my parents and years went past before i told my father.

    Sixty one  years to be exact the year before he passed on, i struggled to tell him because he was in his eighties and didn't want to upset him. We had a good talk and brought out other things that had bothered me from the past, but when i was younger i found it hard to open up so i kept quiet. In my younger days boys are men from the day they are born and they keep their feeling to themselves, so i understand where you are coming from. You could try a phone line in the UK you don't need to give any details, just a stranger on the other end who has empathy to your pain, as i have for you.

    Time is a healer, we cannot change the past so we take one day at a time.

    When you realize that their are other people out there you will find it easier to talk.

    Peace to you.

    John
