[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 128016, member: 1514"] Tina.... I also come from a background of abuse. One of my main abusers was my mother. It has taken me many, many years to even attempt to sort this out. I also have difficulties with normal sex. The one thing I can say after all this time is to keep trying to find a therapist who deals with survivors of incest. When I finally found my current therapist I walked in and gave her a synopsis of my life and point blank asked her if she could deal with this or was she going to just gloss it over. She took me on and for that I will be forever grateful. I attended a group therapy thing for survivors of sexual abuse and that was very enlightening to me. We used the book [I][B]The Courage to Heal.[/B][/I] It also has a companion workbook. It helped me so much. Call your local mental health agency and ask for that sort of specific therapy, call a church...many therapists volunteer their time there. Keep calling until you find someone that is a good match for you. I cant say much about your family. I would think working through therapy first would be the best way to deal with this. You dont have to deal with anyone but you for now. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
