How do you no How to trust again when someone in your family was sexualy abused ?

Question

(as a child by someone who was trusted to look after them )

Answer 1

you are going to have to take that one day at a time,i just turned 40 last august,and i still have trust issues and they are not with just family members. i have trust issues with just about all men that are old enough to be an abuser towards someone.and i am speaking from personal experience, i was sexually abused as a child by my own father,and i am still dealing with the fact that i was not to blame for every thing that he did.it is a long hard road but your first step is to realize that the person who was harmed was a victim not the,criminal.and you go on from there.i am now in a relationship that is going right because i have worked out some of my major problems where men are concerned,but i still have years of abuse to get through. it is hard but you can get through it.just don't give up.

Answer 2

As with any other trauma, you refuse to accept the role of professional "victim" or allow you life to be defined by the act(s). Just as you would do after experiencing any other unpleasant situation in life, you get up, dust yourself off and move on, as people have done for thousands of years before wallowing in self-pity and self-indulgence became fashionable.

This may be considered harsh, but it is reality.
