PC,
I can't add much to what others have said, e.g. about being a child at the time of the abuse and not being responsible for ANY of it. But, like Rsk, I just wanted to say that I am profoundly moved by your courage and compassion. We so often wonder how we would handle something hurtling at us from out of the blue. You are already there, and I can only hope I would do as well as you. First of all, you *remembered* the abuse and second, you are talking about it openly and freely, to your T, to us on Babble. Doing that dissipates the power of old secrets. Your need to google the details may just be part of the route your psyche has chosen for working this thing through. PC, you are actually showing great strength and resilience in how you're dealing with this situation - which you didn't ask for any more than you did the original abuse. This bodes very well for your healing of this trauma, as does your ability to use the support that you have available to you - which includes us as well.
I wish you peace and healing.
Love, Lucie
