    PTSD???

    my step-dad (he was engaged to my mom, i call him daddy) had passed away in march of 96' a couple months later in may, my best friend had past away from CF a couple days after my 9th b-day. I didnt start getting panic attacks or depression till 01-02. but around that time my mom's husband, i dont consider him to be my step-dad or family, would always try to touch me (in a bad way) i had ended up telling my mom a couple years after it started, although i didnt tell her everything he has tried to do or has done. she had said she was going to give him a divorce but never did. they are still married and i always get a sick feeling when he's around me or even when he walks passed me. i dont feel like i could/should tell my mom or anyone in my family about any of the other times cause i think it would pretty much be pointless if nothing is going to be done. my mom had even stood up for him when he had molested one of my old friends that i had grew up with. he only got 5 years probation and had to go to classes and that was it. and even after that he was trying to do things to me or get me to do some things. i was a little apprehensive of writing all this, i havent even told my councilor i used to go to that he has tried many other times than what they all already know. i, of course never would let him and would tell him to stop, even though he wouldnt. my family pretty much doesnt support me all that much so i feel like im all alone other than being able to talk on here.
    the only person that doesnt know about what he has done, other than what he did to my old friend, is my oldest brother. my mom says he knows it all but i know he doesnt cause my mom's husband would probably be sitting in a wheelchair right now if not worse.

    i had told the councilor i used to go to about some of it, but it seemed as though she was on his side. when i had told her about what he had done to my old friend, she had said 'well he was drunk and probably didnt know what he was doing' it just seemed that everything i had to say about him she would always come back as making an excuse for him and thats why i completely stopped going.

    im not sure if he is. ever since i told her about what was going on, he did stop trying all of those things. but he still looks at me (and my sister) in weired and uncomfortable ways. i do sometimes tell him aloud to stop looking at me but no one really notices. he really doesnt seem that sympathetic, he had tried to 'act' sympathetic when my mom had asked him for a divorce but since they never got one he went back to seeming like he didnt care. i guess since my mom had pretty much done nothing about it he probably thinks he can get away with anything, and that doesnt make me feel very good.

    Even if he was drunk, he still had no right to touch you in such a way. There might be a reason why someone abuses a victim but it's not an excuse. I'm sorry you feel that people have taken his side. I'm on your side though, as I'm sure many others are.

    I was abused by my Dad and he got away with it too. My Mum believed me but me and her don't have a good relationship. I've been referred for counselling for the second time now as although i think I've managed to get over it, other people around me seem to know me better than I know myself.
