My confrentation letter to my brother

My confrentation letter to my brother
I read the letter that Nick Easter posted and thought it might be theraputic to post mine as well. Almost like I didn't have to hide it like it was something I should be ashamed of.

Anyway, this is rather blunt, and is probably triggering to most people so read at your own risk..

(I was going to x out the perp's name but why should I protect him LOL)

John,
I am writing you to tell you that I remember and know what you did to me when I was 12. You taught me about masterbation but then you went over the line. You started masterbating me and had me masterbating you. You were 15 1/2 you knew what this was all about, you knew it was wrong. Yet you continued on to performing oral sex on me and having me proforming it on you. You even attempted anal sex but stopped when it hurt but that was only because you probably thought that I'd tell. You were my older brother and I looked up to you. I didn't know the first thing about sex and you knew that you taught me about masterbation. You made me think that this was normal and that all brothers did this, but its not normal its not right and its abuse. You might say to your self, I liked it, sometimes I even iniated it. You'd be right but you see you played on the lack of love in my life. I lost Grandpa xxx, Grandma xxx, Mom and Dad were divorcing. Mom was going to college to get her degree. I was loosing alot of people in my life and you made me feel that if I didn't do what you said that I didn't love you and you wouldn't love me in return. I would loose you too. I don't remember exactly but I have a feeling that you made some kind of threats to me as well.

Because of your selfish acts, I didn't have much of an adolesence, I withdrew socially and had a difficult time around people my own age. Highschool was a lonely difficult time for me, no friends, no girlfriends, no prom. Couple that with shame that I felt and still do feel on a subconsious level that I had sex with my brother. All the subconcious feelings of anger at you trying to have anal sex with me drove me to view gay porn, making me think I was gay. But thanks to lots of therapy and I group of abuse survivors on the internet I know why I'm doing that. I can't be around people from the ages of 12-25 without getting tense and anxious. I can't walk out of my house without checking to see if there are kids/teens playing outside. I could have gone to college gotten a degree had a good job right now but my issues clouded my world and I'm a 26 year old living with his parents with no girlfriend, no college degree, no job. Thanks to medication this is getting better but it still hasn't gone away besides thats not the point, I shouldn't have to take any medication you shouldn't have done this to me in the first place. I can't move on from my crappy job at work because thanks to you I don't feel like I can do anything right and the only reason Chris keeps me around is because he's an idiot. This of course is not true but try convincing me on a subconcious level, its going to take a lot of time and effort to do that, again something I shouldn't have to do.

I am very angry at you for what you did, you knew what you were doing. You knew what was acceptable at 15 1/2 but you decieded you wanted to do this and you didn't care about me. It was all you, you wanted your dick sucked, you wanted intercourse. You wanted to get off and it didn't matter what you did to other people to get it. Because you wanted to get some, you ended up ruining the best years of my life. I can't go back, you don't know how much I want to go back. I've spent alot of time filled with anxiety going to psycologists, drove to the social phobia clinic in Philadelphia every week for 3 months. Spend lots of money and time. Even spent a weekend in Canada with fellow survivors trying to put my life back together. I'll spend lots more money and lots more time trying to live as normal a life as I can. But I'll never live a normal life, I only can get somewhat better and learn to cope with the things I can't fix.

Even after all you've done to me, your my brother and I still love you. I hate what you did to me but I still love you.

I need to know that (names of my nieces here) are safe. So I need to tell everybody what happened and you need to get treatment, I realize this will be really embarassing but I can't bear the thought of you hurting (names of my nieces here) or anybody else for that matter. You need help and I will help you get it but you do need to get it.

**Ok, the part about me still living with my parents has changed**
 
So badly my English is also that I understood. Wow white degrees as I does not mean feelings with reads to describe is however good really good.
 
Jason,

I am sitting here crying reading this. You were much more straight forward than I. Mine was more "what happened to you brother to make you think this was ok". Thank you so much fo sharing. Thank you for having the courage to post this!

PEACE!

Do you need the price of a stamp?

(((Jason))), the letter really was to the point, he has done these things to you, you tell him what affect it had on you, hope he gets help, I really hope he can take it on board just what affect he had on you, but sadly, only the one's who go through it really know!!!

Feel strong my friend in letting him know just how much it did affect you and your life, while he lives his own in some comfort,

The perfect Christmas present for an abuser.

Take good care of you,

Lloydy,
I wish that was all that was holding me back from sending it. I guess I'm just afraid that he will manipulate me into doubting myself. Not that that is going to be too hard these days.

I look at young kids seeing in them who I wanted to be and I guess I'm scared that I'll find out that *I* was the one that took that away, it was my fault. I just can't take the chance that it is.

Took a look in the mirror today with my shirt off, looked like a butterball turkey (need a turkey for next year, I'll see you then LOL ). To quote a very funny comedian (who I think is a survivor even though he won't admit it) "I stink".

Well thank you Mr. Ebert :D

(sorry I'm in that kind of a mood tonight)
 
You are too cool J. :cool:

You just got out on your own, give that time to settle in and soon you will be feeling a little better about yourself, and that is just the beginning.

Later on down the road as you settle your mind, you may find it enjoyible to do what is healthy for you and you will begin to look the way you want.

Remember that there are always going to be ups and downs, and if you are having a bad time now, you will have better times later, just as if you are having good times now, you will have bad times later. Life is quite dynamic and always changing.

When we learn to meet our challenges and dance with them, we begin to understand that each challenge is a learning experience.

Hang in there man.

*singing* Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier...
 
Jason, what a great Idea! I think I will write a letter to the guy who raped me. He was a stranger, and I will never see him or know who he was. But I can write him a letter, and tell him how he screwed up my life. I think that will be good for me.
 
Jason
the letter will keep.

But one day, when he reads that letter his life will flash before his eyes. As it should do.

And what better recomendations than revues such as those? ;)
Dave
 
Jason,

You have that letter. You always will. You can send it at any time YOU feel safe to do so. Confronting can be quite terrifying, and when you do send it, please try to be prepared for 'backlash'. Feelings of fear, guilt, etc. You need to make sure you are safe and ready, and have support available for how you feel afterwards. It is a strong and good letter, I hope you feel better after writing it.
