Squigy: Wow is all I can say. You are really and truly an incredible person and it is a real honour to know that you are among us. PLease stick around and post some so we can all get re-acquainted with you.
Hey there Squigy, my new chat room brother... thank you for allowing me to be part of this momentous event in your life. I was overjoyed to hear your news last night, and you have all my respect for what you have done.
I told you last night how I long for my own abuser to admit his wrongdoings, apologize, and god what I wouldn't do for an explanation. And by being brave and having the courage to call your cousins, I feel like in someway we all got to live vicariously through them.
Thank you for your honesty and integrity. You have given your family a piece of their life back and hopefully your relationship with them as an adult can be a rewarding one.
SOOOOO proud of you brother. Keep me posted.

P.S. Told you so! Hee hee!

i carry a lot of guilt over passing on the abuse to others. i was molested when i was five, and my abuser also included another neighbor girl in the games he showed me. he had us do sexual things to each other, to him and he did them to us. i can blame him for all of that, but it is harder to accept passing that on to others.
in turn i molested two girls and my male cousing along the way. we were pre-teens, and i didnt know it was sex exactly, but i knew it was wrong. unlike you, i have never been brave enough to say i'm sorry. that took a lot of guts. you should be proud of yourself.
your story is so familiar that it's scary. i repressed all memory of it until three or four years ago. mine came back as i was struggling with addiction to the internet, porn and cybersex in particular. i have no idea where those people are any more, even my cousin is just a distant memory. i wonder if i should even try to contact him? would he remember? would he care? i guess so far, i'm just not as brave as you were.

What a lucky man you are to have such a strong and forgiving family, I can't begin to imagine the joy and relief that you feel right now.
And I have no doubt that your cousins feel something similar too, why else would they be so understanding ?
Doing the 'right thing' took a lot of guts, I'm so pleased for you.

Squigy,
I am very glad that you recieved such compassionate response from them. I hope that they mean it true, and that there is not different feelings in their heads. Not to say bad at you, I just hope it is real.
I know that I appreciate that you could come forward to them, and that you were truly sorry of what you did. I know for myself never to expect such a thing, and therefore, have some difficulty, to feel compassion for those who abuse others. Again, I am not trying to be bad at you, just to be honest of my own feelings. But perhaps, that is not good idea, so I will not write further.
I am glad it work for you.

Squigy, (great name!)
Wow!
I'm proud of you.
Never underestimate the power you have to heal yourself and others. Whether you realize it or not, you did relieve those people of something they carried around, even if it was subconcious.
And you relieved yourself of the guilt you gave yourself. I imagine that was liberating.
Peace,
Scot
