how?

[ChristInAction]

how do I go about telling someone?
i'm scared to tell someone b'coz i dont want them to turn around & tell someone or worse, tell my mum what happened.
Things are already hard enough at home.

does it even matter? I was really young.
It was like 10 years ago.

Its scary to say it out aloud.
I'm still scared he'll know that I'v told & will kill me.
It also scares me because telling someone what happened, makes it real. I have 2 face that it acctuly happened.

what makes it harder to tell. a good friend at church lied about being raped by her father in a public bathroom 2 days after a little girl had been raped & murdered in a public bathroom.

I keep thinking noone will believe me.

U r brave, girl, u r starting to tell here in this forum, it is good start, keeps it! I believe u........i know the fear, the worry, and those other feelings....

it a good start, you start to talk about what happen. find someone who you can trust really trust to talk to, and go from there just be strong .

Tellings not easy. I found writing helps. I keep a journal that I havewritten it all out in. But I haven't been brave enough to share it all yet.
TaLKING HERE HELPS. There are also resourses you can turn too, for a safe place to talk. Have you tried calling your local women's shelter. They usualy have someone to talk too.
Just an idea.

Talking, writing, remembering... none of it is easy, but it does help.
