There was some failure somewhere. Her brother was 9 years old. She does not discuss it, but he very likely carries tremendous guilt, whether he has expressed it or not. Something must have happened to him either he was assaulted also or he was exposed to harmful adult material (p%rn). Anybody in this position should figure out if there were older influences of the brother, like an older cousin that lived or visited the house, older friends in the neighborhood, unfettered or unmonitored access to the internet or some source of "adult material", possibly owned by the parents (if it happened in the early 2000s where DVD's or magazines were still a primary source of adult material versus internet), that may have planted this horrible seed in a brothers mind. Many 9 year olds are still angels oblivious to the sins and evils of the world, her brother was corrupted somehow, by someone. I pray for all people in this situation.

I was only able to speak the truth, of having been molested and the life issues that resulted, when my parents died...and I, finally, felt free enough to make a decision to NEVER see him again...no more "happy family reunions" to please our parents. it's been 25 years since I confronted him and broke free. 5 1/2 years of head therapy, diagnosis of PTSD, followed. Funds well spent! I'm happy that you were able to tell your truth so early in your life. Keep up your fight to heal from within...the effort is painful, but worth every tear. Forgive my brother? NEVER! My anger, shame, guilt, grief and disappointment provide the fuel for my recovery and for my choice to make a better life for myself. I am stronger for having come through to "the other side," and you will be, too. Remember that incest is "allowed" to happen because a family is dysfunctional, We are not victims any longer.

The years have rolled by and I am able to see things with totally different eyes. I look back at my 27 years of journal entries and I can see when various levels of progress and healing have been realized...when anger became strength and determination, when frustrations became steps forward, when shame became courage and when responsibility shifted to its rightful owner.. While the work of learning to live with new ways of thinking has been exhausting, it is well worth the effort!! Reading journals shows my old ways of living as a victim...a decided contrast to the survivor life I am living today!! I remain a life in progress!

I have nothing but the utmost respect for you. You have more guts than most people ever have.

I was molested by my older cousin from about 8-11. I never spoke out about it because I live in Alabama and the “cousin lover” stereotype always disgusted me. I never wanted to talk about it. I was groomed into it because I looked up to my cousin so much. He was my hero and always babysat me. I still struggle to talk about it and no one in my family knows, except maybe my little brother because I remember him witnessing it sometimes. It’s still hard.

A song for you dear. Sincerely. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2ls2MaCaM_QgrQ.html

Your very brave to speak out. It was never your fault and pray you get through this🙏🏾💖

One of my 2 daughters was molested by their own dad when I was at work when she was 31/2 years old and she told me about it one morning when I was leaving for work and that she didn't want him doing that to her anymore and it just tore us up! Being in court was horrible and her having to deal with this was so heartbreaking! It didn't really hit her until she was about 12 years old what had happened to her and she had very awful anger issues. She was so cruel to me and her little sister and so she had to go stay with my mom and my step dad at their house. To this day, she doesn't want their dads name even mentioned at all and she goes into a rage if anyone does mention him. She's now 31 years old and has been in therapy and she has an extremely short temper now and is a very serious person because of this awful thing that happened to her. She's a beautiful 31 year old young lady now and she has a beautiful daughter of her own and she and my granddaughters dad take extremely good care of her co parenting. She's 3 years old and my daughter protects her so well!❤❤

You are so strong for speaking up. You empower a lot of people, I saw some gaps in the video where you obviously had to step aside to gather yourself but you came back to tell the story and that is so strong of you. My experience is that i spoke up as an adult at 31yrs and I wasnt beleived and I was blamed actually. Now i suffer the awkward annual Christmas gatherings with the person staring as if to deliberately make me uncomfortable. It takes me a whole week to feel at peace again after attending those christmas gatherings. Iam finally gonna seek counseling this year. I suspect that he did something to another sibling who ended up with addiction issues. That other sibling has been to rehab but hasnt reclaimed normal life. He still struggles with something that we do not know. My folks are seem to once again sweep the issues under the rug.

You’re story means a lot. I can’t begin to explain. Stay strong.

Thank you, I will xo

It has already been said, you're a survivor and a courageous woman. I'm pleased for you that your parents support you. I'm glad you got help. Please take each moment, each day at a time. Thank you for sharing your story. Take care, kia kaha (be strong).

I’m grateful for this video. Not able to watch it all the way through because my own assault is so frightening to face, but thank you for this and I’m grateful it will be here when I’m ready to face it. We’re not alone❤️

Thank You for taking the time to create and share this informational video with us all. I hope your courage to do so will help many parents be more aware so this horrible trauma does not happen to anyone else.

Amazing Bravery! You're a strong young woman to open up about something so traumatic, painful, scary and confusing. You will help many others open up and fight for what is right. Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you so much!

I’m coming back to this video at 23 after first seeing it at 20 when my family first heard about my trauma and it’s hitting different cause I’m now in therapy working on my toxic traits. I see myself more when u hear you talk. Thank you so much for this

You are much stronger than you think you are. I can't even imagine the suffering that you went through. I just wish you'll all better now. Continue to use your voice to empower and encourage people. Praying for the best!

I recently started working with DV and SA survivors and I commend you on your bravery to tell your story!

I'm so sorry you had to experience that. I am so proud of you from talking about it. I am also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by an older sibling and Its still hard sometimes . I'm just about old enough to be your mom but your story is so empowering for me! Thank you for sharing! Stay amazing and never forget that you are beautiful, you are valid, and you are worthy of love.

You are very brave for telling your story. I'm sure others who experienced the same things can find strength through your honesty I wish you all the strength you need to help you work through your trauma,peace.

I just came across this video. Thank you for your tremendous bravery in making this video. You are helping so many people. So crazy. We have the same birthday and very similar experience. My parents never believed me, even after my brother admitted to doing it. Lots of heartbreak as I'm sure you can relate to. Please continue being so strong and following your dreams. You did NOT do anything to be in this situation. Sending so much love

My half brother was 4 years older than me. I was 12. I don’t remember most of it

You are so very brave! We need to do much more to protect vulnerable young ones. Thank you for bringing this into the open. 😢

Thank you so much for being so transparent and vulnerable.

Thank you for sharing, you're very brave. Sorry you had to go through that - NONE of it was your fault!

I don’t have words to express how much I admire your strength and bravery!

People don’t realize how devastating it is to be hurt by the people we should be able to trust and protect us, it really shatters your world in a way most people could possibly understand.

Thank you so much for making this video. You are so strong!!

I could never tell my family what I went through. U are a strong woman. And inspire me.

Thank you for sharing your story. I cant even imagine. Much Love and respect!

Thanks you so much for sharing your story, I felt I could really relate and didn't feel like the only one who felt certain ways that confused me for the longest time.

You are so brave and this is a part of heeling and can really help the next child!!!

You are so strong and I am in awe of your strength, dignity, and courage. You stating your truth no matter what is a testament of someone who is already taking the steps towards healing. Stay strong and remember the truth doesn't need defending it just is. Much love.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You should be very proud of yourself for speaking out. The same thing happened to me by my brother, but I’m much older at 62 and it’s been a lifetime of dealing with the trauma. I’m so happy that you are getting the help you deserve. Much love to you ❤

My mother was abused by her brothers. She rarely never talked about it. I think if she would have, she wouldn't have held it in, ultimately making her sick. You're amazing and strong 🕊 Thank you for sharing, I've always wondered about her perspective. This will help the future generations.

I'm sooo sorry no child should ever,ever go through this and this is sooo sad😥

I was molested by my brother from the age of about 4 to around 10, when I told him no. He is about 5 years older than me. I finally told my parents when I was mad at them, at the age of about 20 or so, and blurted it out. Pretty much what I got from my mother was that he was a kid, too. Okay then. Thanks for the support. They asked him about it and he denied it. My other brother brought up the subject when we all were over 40 years old, and he finally admitted to it. The annoying part is that my parents didn't really think it was a big deal when I brought it up, but as soon as my other brother brought it up, suddenly it was worth thinking about. But worse than that was that he tried coming on to a daughter he had with an ex-girlfriend. He was sitting in a robe by her and basically propositioned her. He also made sexual comments about our aunt at some point during my teen years. He once told me I needed to make some fat friends and have them come over to the house, implying that he wanted me to bring him some victims. When we lived in Ohio, there were these people from Kentucky and I was friends with the daughter, and he was briefly friends with her brother. I recall him proudly telling that brother that I was going to grow up to be a "real pro". I believe he was bragging to this guy that he was molesting me. There was no other reason for him to say that. Imagine being such an utter piece of shit that having sexual relations with your sister is something you brag about.

You are amazing literally, i actually have gone through the same thing and recently i told my mother but to scared to comfort my father

So sorry you went through this. It's hard to work through, but do it. You can have a great life. Hope your brother has been confronted and dealt with.

I was four and my brother was 10. Only one time but it was enough to break apart our family when I remembered and told people. The parallels in your story and mine are uncanny. I was the only girl, middle child of two brothers as well. And my older brother was just my dads son, so half brother technically. We too were once a happy family. I feel as though the effect that this has had on my family is almost worse than what the actual trauma did to me. Thank you for sharing. Helps to know I’m not alone.

Thank you for being brave and coming forward with your story. I hope it helps motivate more people to speak out ❤. You are not alone.

Respect to you for telling your story. May God bless you. You’re SO beautiful! ❤️ and you said in the end of the video that, if anyone would make fun of you or whatever, that that’s okay. It’s not. It is definitely NOT OKAY to make fun of people for what they have been trough. I just wanted to make that clear. But, it is GREAT, that you’re ok. You posted that video about 2 years ago, and I hope, that you are doing amazing now, that there has been A LOT of progress. As you can see in the comments, your video has helped others and that’s amazing! I believe that it will continue to help others. Again, God bless! God bless you and your family! ❤️ much love.

I was molested by my cousin when we were both children. I know your pain and I’m so sorry you had to endure that, especially by a family member. You’re such a strong woman for sharing your story. I hope to become as strong as you one day! ❤️

The way you're apologising for telling your story is so sad. I resonate with it.

Thanks for sharing, young people have a hard time growing up with problems like this, it paints a room a different color NOTHING is pin point.
