See, the thing is that what you are feeling is normal following such an incident (or incidents). The victims often don't speak out because they blame themselves. It is important that you speak with someone who has training in this area or you could experience problems later in your life. This is something that you may simply not be able to handle by yourself and strangers on the internet don't have the training to help you cope.
I think that if you try to seek help, you may wind up feeling loads better than you do right now. Telling someone, while it is scary, may be the smartest (and bravest) thing you could do.
One source of help would be contacting your local rape crisis center. Yes, they help victims of violent rape, but they can also help you deal with what you've experienced and I believe this would be confidential, depending on the laws in your country.
So please call the rape crisis center and tell them what you've told us. They will know better what to do than us.
Good luck, I hope you find the help you seek.

Hi, was this your post? http://www.dearcupid.org/question/molested-by-mums-boyfriend-continued.html
You have to tell someone so you can get the help you need. Your mother, your doctor, an aunt, your grandmother, a teacher, the head of your school, the school nurse or counselor. Tell someone so you can get the help you need. It isn't your fault, your feelings are normal. Please be brave and try to get help there.
Best wishes.

I'm so sorry to read of of your very upsetting and stressful time. You are NOT to blame, no one deserves to be treated in the manner you write about. The molester must be held responsible and accountable for his/her actions, so please consider reporting this incident, even though I know it will be painful for you. They must stand answerable for this, if it goes unreported, there is a high risk they will act like this again. Don't feel embarrassed, you have no need to, but I do think you need to find someone, preferably a professional who will take you through this very upsetting experience, and help you come out the other side.
I wish you well for the future.

Hello
No one EVER deserves to be treated that way. If anyone is to be ashamed its to be the molester, not you. I can understand its embarrasing, but you have to talk to someone about this. You need to report this person so they can be held accountable for their actions, it doesnt matter who they are to you...report them. And seek professional help to guide you throught this challenging time.
