Complex TRauma
At 6 years old my 14 year old brother was taking me in the backyard alone to show me his ***. I had a very sheltered Christian upbringing. I had no idea what a *** was expect that it was used for peeing. I have seen my baby brothers diaper changed. MY older brother tried to convince me that I really wanted to touch it. I did not want to touch it and I was not interested, I had zero interest in my baby brothers *** or my 14 year old brothers ***. I finally agreed after much nagging and attempted brain washing. He did not brain wash me I just did it because I wanted him to stop talking about it. This went on for a few weeks him trying to make me an active and willing participate. I wasn't. Next he wanted to convince me that I wanted to give him a blow job. I refused and announced his request to the entire family at dinner time. All 8 kids and both parents were at the table and people were shocked. our secret meetings ended but I still feel lame, targeted, damaged and angry. I feel like guys can some how see the damage and try to see what they can get away with. It's sad we suffer as kids and continue suffering into adulthood.
@BeccaMoon, I’m sorry you’ve been through that and I understand why it would be damaging. How are you feeling?
Hey @BeccaMoon, sorry if I write you here, I'm the one who wanted to send you an article about schizophrenia in the group but I lost connection and this seems to me the only way to reach you.
And I came through your touching tale above and I feel to share my sorrow for all that. Hope you could get all the necessary warmth from your parents and people who love you after the whole episode and, overall, in your daily life.
About the article, I just wanted to make you aware about this famous and acknowledged "double bind" theory about schizophrenia. Please, always talk to your doctors for all matters related to your care and therapy.
