Hello Spectrum: Thank you for bringing your concern here to PC.
 I'm sorry I don't have the answer for you. Hopefully there will be other members, here on PC, who will have some insights they can offer.  In the meantime, though, I wanted to simply welcome you to Psych Central.  One additional forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the relationships forum. Here's a link just in case you haven't already found it: https://forums.psychcentral.com/rela...communication/ And then here's a link to an article by our host Dr. John Grohol, Psy.D. on the subject of sexual abuse. The article provides links to a number of additional articles on the subject as well: Coping with Sexual Abuse - Psych Central I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

Oh my that is such an awful place to be...does your sister know? Is this something law enforcement needs to know? Do you have to be involved in her life? I mean like.. if its a situation where she knows and still sticks with him then she has made her choice right?

Hello Spectrum. I am so sorry you are in this situation. The abuse is not your fault. You deserve peace, unconditional safe love, and a bright future. Does your sister know about the abuse? Have you told anyone? Would you consider speaking with the police or your local doctor?
May I ask how old you are? Sorry for all the questions. I just want to understand your situation better. I hope you can find support from someone safe and trustworthy in your life.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. I am not sure how you can develop a relationship until her husband is abusing you. Does she know about it? I think you need to stop the abuse to be able to have any relationship with her. Also, if she knows and doesnt do anything, it would be hard to have a trusting relationship.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
