[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 593120, member: 2196"] As a sexual abuse survivor by my older brother, I can tell you that you are doing the right thing in contacting social services. When I was eleven my fourteen year old brother forced me into sexual acts and threatened me into secrecy. I stayed silent and endured the pain and suffering for about a year. Then I confided in a cousin that I was being abused. She told her mother, my aunt at the time, and my aunt told my mom what was going on. My mom decided to do nothing except tell my brother not to do it again. And then I got a lecture and the question, "Why did you let him do it?" Being eleven years old and overpowered by an older bigger sibling did not allow me a choice. I fought and he won. But I still got the blame. And my mom chose not to tell my dad because he was abusive. My brother was his worst target. My mom feared for my brother's life. So she kept our little secret hidden. The abuse continued until I was about thirteen and my brother found a girlfriend and lost interest. So you are doing the right thing by confronting and getting social services involved. I know he's still your son and you will always love him, but please do not hesitate to protect your younger daughter by whatever means possible. I endured two years of suffering and it will always haunt me till the day I die. [/QUOTE]
