Would you tell?..?

Question

If someone in your family USED to touch you like over 2 years ago...Would you tell your mom?..Or since it was a while a go move on and try to forget about it?..I just wanna know what you guys think...♥♥♥

It's just a hypothetical question...♥♥♥

Answer 1

yes..it will be hard but it has to be done..i speak from experience..be ready though because once that door is opened..all the emotions are going to pour out and a lot of resentment and a lot of disbelief will follow and thoughts even will come that it was "your fault" because "YOU COULD STOPPED IT BY TELLING" BUT PLEASE KNOW That it isn't your fault..i am praying for "you" blessings

Answer 2

YES!! As hard as it is to open up about abuse of this kind...it is extremely important to tell! It is the only way to be sure the perpetrator does not repeat the crime. And it is a crime...no matter the age of the victim. It is a crime that will definitely be repeated...someone with these tendencies cannot stop. They may be able to control it for periodic lengths of time, but they will inevitebly do it again...to you or someone else.
You should seek professional counseling as soon as possible.
Believing that you have been able to "deal" with it by keeping silent will only make it that much harded to face when it finally does come out. And the chances are extremely good that at sometime it will happen to someone else who will tell. Then you will face the now added guilt that you could have prevented it from happening to another.
A person who does this needs to be removed from society permanently and treated appropriately.
So, yes TELL!!!

Answer 3

TELL!!!! We're all going to say the same thing. It may not be easy or convenient, especially if the person is still around. I'm hoping that it's not your dad, so that would make it a brother, uncle, or mom's boy/man friend.

Sunshine, the only way to move on, is to release the burden, and tell.

Asking us is just the beginning. Find strength in our words, to confront the situation. Speak to your mother. Understand that she may not believe you, at first. Be adamant. Then find help for your self. Know, that in this life, bad things happen to good people, that it's not your fault, and that you deserve, to heal, and be happy.

Not everyone in this life, will hurt you. You deserve better. Always hold your head high, and demand that people treat you with respect.

Much love always - Touche OUT!

Answer 4

It is my opinion anyone who has had this experience and reads your question, needs to take action. You owe it to yourself and to other family members or even friends who come in contact with the person, tell your Mom or someone you trust ( an Adult) someone who can help you with this. I shall tell you something that happened to my friend!
Her daughter came to me asking what she should do because she did not want the stepfather giving her a fatherly hug or kiss, apparently at 16 she was able to detect the intuitive emotion something was not feeling right to her, I gave her my opinion, I never knew if she followed it up. The mother came to talk with me about the same situation,I said"Do you think he may not be giving her a fatherly hug and kiss,"the mother said, Oh No! he would not do something wrong. Well, he did ! He killed the daughter, serrated her skull and bludgeon her to death! Drowned in her own blood. Mother was asleep, deaf in one ear, brother heard nothing! What I am trying to tell you, is it matters not when it happened to you, someone needs to know, a person who can help do something and help you with whatever effects you are having. It could be post traumatic stress! Who will be the next victim or who has been the next victim. Take action!
I wish you the best!

Answer 5

Any time someone touches you in a way that is not comfortable to you. Tell because if you don't, they will do it to someone else. There are to many predators out here now preying on children. I pray that you will tell your parents and then they will call the police and catch this person. Nip this situation in the bud before it gets out of hand. May God give you the strength to do the right thing and not waver.

Answer 6

im guessing this is for a friend... I would tell my parents or a very close friend/ sister... becuase face it.. this person, hypothetically speaking, is obviously bothered by this even if its years ago or else you wouldn't be asking. Sometimes we have to tell people how we feel about things or past mistakes to get them off our chest... its a way to let things go and feel a sense of releif...but then again sometimes you just have to let things go and move on because possibly telling someone might make it even worse...It depends, whatever would make you happier...

Answer 7

Tell. It doesn't matter that is was a long time ago and that it's not happening anymore. If you're still thinking about it and it is more than likely bothering you now the it is part of you and your mom should know. She'll love you no matter what.

Answer 8

If you want to move on and forget about it, needs healing. Part of the healing is talking about it. If its still bothering you, don't let hi, get away with it. You are coming to us for advice. cause you want to tell. Don't be scared. You can email me privately if you like. My son came to be with this problem. If this person is still around you, its probably best you tell your mom. If there are younger siblings around you, maybe they moved on to them. Once a molester starts, they most likely wont stop.

Answer 9

Yes, you should tell. This person will not change and they will affect the lives of other people. It is also possible that they will get more aggressive in their behavior.
I feel for you, and wish you the best.
You may consider seeing a psychologist or therapist concerning this event, you may feel that you have dealt with this own your own, but research indicates it will affect you all your life.

Answer 10

You should tell someone, especially if it still bothers you. Keeping it a secret gives the power to the abuser.

Getting it in the open, gives you the power to start healing yourself
