[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 289087, member: 1514"] I think I differ a tad bit with DDD about putting the abuse behind you because I still havent managed to completely do that but it isnt something that I revisit on a daily basis. It does have a lasting impact on who I am though. However, I was pretty much abused on an ongoing basis for years. I dont know who it is going to serve to figure out if mommy abused step brother though. That really isnt your fight. As far as if you should tell difficult child all your past history...I dont think you should tell him stuff until he is grown. And then I dont think he really needs more than a quick overview. My kids didnt know my complete history until I started therapy and started a group for sex abuse survivors. Jamie knew before then that I had an abortion because a friend of his had one. Cory didnt know about it until about 2 years ago. Slowly over the past couple of years I have told them more and more about how my mom treated me and look how old they are! [/QUOTE]
