adviceman49 answered Sunday April 22 2012, 11:51 am: Talking about sexual abuse is something that can make people uncomfortable. For you talking about it is comforting as you know the person listening is a caring person. Your teacher did her job when you did as was suggested and went to her and explained what happened to you. Now must likely she would like to put this uncomfortable situation behind both you and her. Unfortunately this is of no help to you as you need to talk about what has happened and be comforted while doing so. She may not be comfortable talking about this with you and is not really qualified to help you.
If I was one of the advisers who gave you advice I may also have recommended you contact an organization called RAINN. This stands for Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network. If you were asked to call them and have not already done so I believe you should. They operate a 24/7 hotline you can call to talk with people who will listen and give you advice. They will also offer to find people in your home town to help you deal with what has happened to you.
Being sexually abused or assaulted by your brother in-law is not something you can just shove to the back of your mind and try to forget about. You need to deal with it with trained professionals who can help you deal with this in the proper manner so that it does not ruin you for life.
You may need some type of closure for what has happened. Closure is different for each of us. If what has happened to you has not been reported to the police and this is something you feel should happen. The professionals you are referred to will help you with this. IT could be all you want is an acknowledgement from him to you and the rest of the family that yes he did do this to you and an apology to you. This too is something the professionals can help you with.
To get this help you need to ask for it just as you asked your teacher for help. Please call 1-800-656-HOPE. Talk with the volunteer who answers your call. They will listen and they will help you. If it were possible to take you into their arms and hug you over the phone they would do that too. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
