Hi, guys! Today I want to talk about guilt. Everyone gets guilt from sexual abuse. You think that 'Well, I could have stopped it' or 'I could have done something'. No one should be blamed or feel guilty about this. The point is, you are doing something now. Most likely, you couldn't have stopped it, and if you could, it's not your responsibility as the victim. Nearly everyone responds as freezing in their tracks, or having a feeling of floating away.
If a friend, family member, or anyone attempts to victim-blame or make you feel guilty, no matter who they are, they are wrong. My whole father's side of the family sided with him instead of me, and tried to make me feel guilty about publicizing my story and trying to help people. If they don't want me and others to get better, they are not worth being around. Trust me. They will try to poison your mind and hurt you. Try to find supportive, loving people, and if they are already there, embrace them. There's nothing wrong with accepting help and love and getting a hug when you need it.
