Hey I'm a 21 year old woman living in Belmopan. i am a incest survivor and right now i feel isolated because everyone is talking about it but not doing anything about it. Yes women's group are in our country but do we have a group that deals with molestation. I mean molestation do have a long term effect which I'm correctly going through but who in this country is a professional that deals with people like me. Many people have been molested in the past and currently are being molested but what is being done to help them? i have been molested from age 5-14 & it had affected me in my life that you guys wouldn't imagine. I have sexual issue, intimacy issues, anger issues and a lot more. I know I'm not the only one going through this. They may be some that are but don't know why because they block out the past but the effects of molestation stands example women who have been abused by their partner and still stand beside them. They is a reason for that behavior which is either the woman have been molested in her past or the way she was raised during childhood so that's what she is familiar with women stay in abusive relationship for so many reason but if they have been molested that is the main reason for their behavior. which is why i say molestations have its effects because the person becomes codependent. I didn't know something was wrong with me until i started to have a healthy relationship which I can't do properly because of my effects. Its hard to explain myself about my life writing it but what i mostly wanted to say that I was looking for a group that people talk about their molestation and the way it has affected them and the challenges they face. I want to be some where that women open up about their life because it will greatly improve my healing. Currently I'm reading the book the courage to heal if you will Google it the information is there also if u Google effects of incest all the information is there. Even if i have to create the group i will but then again I'm scared to open up my secret and other people don't open up then everyone will know about me so I'm asking if there is a place that someone can help me with my issues I am already getting help but I need more options the more the better for me. thank you for reading.

HEY Love/Beauty,
Sorry for what you have been through.
No, I don't know of any groups that can help you
But you are a strong and courageous person.
You are on your journey of healing...and even though it's difficult, you will find your way. You will heal and probably help many others along the way. Stay encouraged and never give up!!!

sorry to hear that... the only thing i can think of to say is-- it's not your fault... they have the problem and you suffered cause of it. i wish i could do or say more, and if i know of any groups or people that you could talk to, i will let you know.
