COCSA

Questions and discussion about sexual or other abuse or assault, and support and help for survivors.
Forum rules
This area of the boards is expressly for support and help for those who are currently in or have survived abuse or assault. It is also for those seeking information or discussion about abuse or assault. Please make every effort in this space to be supportive and sensitive. Posts in this area may or do describe abuse or assault explicitly.

This area of the boards is also not an area where those who are themselves abusing anyone or who have abused or assaulted someone may post about doing that or seek support. We are not qualified to provide that kind of help, and that also would make a space like this feel profoundly unsafe for those who are being or who have been abused. If you have both been abused and are abusing, we can only discuss harm done to you: we cannot discuss you yourself doing harm to others. If you are someone engaging in abuse who would like help, you can start by seeking out a mental healthcare provider.

When I was around 10-11 I have a nephew who was 6 who would show me his private parts and I would show him mines I wouldn't force him to do anything sexual but at one point he kept asking me to show him and wouldn't stop. He stop after a little bit but I'm remembering this and I'm feeling extremely guilty because I was older and I knew I shouldn't have showed him and feel that I have scarred him. I feel horrible and scared because of that I may have ruined him.

Hi UMMMMM2002,

I'm sorry this is causing you so much distress. To start with, can I ask if there's something in particular that's causing you to worry about this now? Did your nephew reach out to you about what happened and say it was something he feels harmed him? Or was there something else that brought this worry to the surface?
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
