Abused as child many years ago

Abused as child many years ago

I was abused by an uncle who lived with us.  My father called me a liar and refused to believe this was happening.  My mom tried to get me help but my dad would not let it happen.  Now 30 years later, i'm waking up thinking what happened to me and angry that my father did not help me.  Why am i going thru this again so many years later.  How can i ever get rid of the anger i have for my uncle and my father...

Re: Abused as child many years ago

Have you tried dealing with your anger with a therapist?  I find that things dont go away until we face them head on - including anger.

Re: Abused as child many years ago

Jjf  - it is great you can reach out and ask questions about your feelings.   What you are experiencing is something i can relate to. I suppressed for many years my feelings towards my abusers, an uncle being one of them.   It is so awful your mother and father did nothing to help you process this horrible experience.  i found talking to a therapist who specializes in this area so helpful or by calling a sexual abuse helpline.   Good luck on your journey to heal.  Take care and look round on this site it has been very helpful for me.
