So, I know the title is obviously gonna make you all worry, but take a few deep breaths, I'm okay now (sorta), and I don't want any of you to worry. In fact, if you feel comfortable with it, share your story!

But, uh, when I was 5-8, and my older brother was 8-11, he sexually assaulted me. I told my mom what he made me do, she said it was just a nightmare. I told my dad when I was 12, he said he'd confront him, but my brother denied that it ever happened. Recently, about a month ago, I kept ranting about how I hate my brother (for obvious reasons), and my mom asked if it was because of what I said he did when I was 5. I said yeah, and she said she disowned him.

But, uh, not really. When he had Covid, she delivered him milk, when he came over with his girlfriend, she acted like nothing was wrong, and whenever he asked me to hang out, my mom told me to go and play games with him.

I also just feel uneasy around him. His girlfriends look a bit like me, and they're all small and skinny with glasses, and it freaks me out, especially because he's 18 now and all his past girlfriends and even his current one is a year or 2 behind him in age.

Anyway, rant over, I just need to type this out because of everyone doubting me, it makes me doubt myself as well, and I told 2 of my friends, and they agreed when I said that I'd be dropping my brother and mom from my life as soon as I turn 18.

The only people I'm staying in contact with in my family when I turn 18 is my dad, sisters, oldest brother (he's 23, just to clarify that he isn't the one who did this to me) and my little brother if he ever realizes how bad our mom is.

Anyway, love all of you, feel free to tell your stories, bye!
