Thanks Anita.  I was sexually abused, not by my parents but by my brother who is 8 years older than me. It was ongoing a bit as a young kid (I think I was 4-6). And then once when I was about 8-9. It’s not something I talk about a lot. I’ve only told maybe 3 people outside of my family. Anyhow. I think this also affected my teenage years as well and probably most of my life. I have no resentment towards my brother we still talk and see one another on occasion. I also have a mental health condition which I’ve taken medication for over the past 20 years. I’m lucky as I haven’t dealt with another “episode” since I was 23. I’m not almost 43.  I actually can’t believe I’m typing this all out on the internet but it’s my story.
