No one deserves "a rebuke" for TELLING THE TRUTH.

Even though some of my sisters believed I was telling the truth, they still attacked me relentlessly. That hurt the worst.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. My family has been bent on destroying me ever since I "told" and made the incest known in an effort to protect my niece who was going to stay with my parents. For over 20 years the assaults have never stopped. I too had hoped for healing that will never come. Silence is the only rule in my alcoholic incestuous uncaring family. It's heartbreaking but there seems to be nothing I can do about it but pray. Please, keep writing. You are keeping our stories, and us, alive!

Straight Talk From My Experience  

New time is 10:30 AM Monday morning. Speaking out about sexual assault, I will rely on a combination of personal experience, news items, and information from organizations focused on sexual assault. At the end of this hour there will be 30 new victims added to the statistics. One day: 1440 One Week: 10,080 But we are not merely a statistic. We are lives twisted, and often terminated. A Yahoo News Link pertaining to sexual assault is in my links list. Watch for new developments. This is a topic close to my heart. National Sexual Assault Hotline 1.800.656.HOPE An Online Hotline Link may be found at www.rainn.org

    Incest Families

    The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815 - 1902), 1890



    "The taboo against talking about incest is stronger than the taboo against doing it." - Maria Sauzier, M.D.

    Traits of Families that Tolerate Incest and Child Abuse Poly-abusive Sexual child abuse is just one of a number of abuses taking place in an incest family. There may also be a history of family violence, substance abuse, and other criminal activity. Duplicity, deceit, collective secrets The incest family hides its embarrassing secrets. Rigid and tightly controlled Incest families have rigid rules to prevent revelation of their secrets. Demand for blind, absolute loyalty Incest families usually have a domineering head of household who rules the family through force.

    Poor boundaries Disrespect for each others' privacy, rights, and individuality is common in incest families. Parents immature and inexperienced in life Parents of incest families usually never become fully mature adults. Conflictual marriage or troubled divorce In incest families, this may refer to situations where children are pushed into the drama between a conflicted mother and father. No childhood for the children Incest families are somber and strict places, where the authority figure (usually one of the parents) dictates behavior for everyone else. Rather than let children run around and play, they force children into a regimented routine.

    Chaotic situations, traumatic stress Incest often takes place in chaotic households, with unstable roots. These families may move often and lack connections to any one community. Low level of appropriate touch In the most toxic incest families all touching is considered taboo. Parents do not hug, caress, or cuddle their children, as normal families do. This is perhaps the most telling symptom of incest. Compensating veneer of religiosity Incest perpetrators often hide behind an external show of religion.

    Traits of Healthy Families
    1. Individuality is respected.
    2. Differences are tolerated.
    3. Boundaries and roles are clearly defined.
    4. Problem solving is open and valued.
    5. Communication is responsive and accepting.
    6. Strong marital bond between parents.
    7. Strong ties to extended family, community.
    8. Healthy humor, play, fun.
    9. Shared spiritual life.

    Editor's Note: These lists are based on materials developed by David L. Calof, author of "Multiple Personality and Dissociation: Understanding Incest, Abuse, and Mpd." This book is out of print, but Amazon.com will search for a used copy and notify you in two weeks. Link to David L. Calof's web site: ClinicalWorkshops.com Family Profile Find out where your family stands in these categories: fun, decisions, pride, values, caring, communication and confidence.
