Incest the Most Kept Secret

Father, stepfather, brother, stepbrother, uncle, cousin, foster father, even a mother- all can be perpetrators of incest. Even a sexual experience with a close family friend can have some of the same effects as incest. Whenever someone you trust as “family” violates you in this way, it’s incest…..

I call incest the deepest wound, and time after time girls tell me they did not tell because they were afraid their mothers would reject or blame them. Time after time girls tell me that being sexually abused by their father, step-father … It's not as heart-breaking as their mothers rejecting them. Incest involves a lot of seduction manipulation, bribery, and lies. Fathers, especially, will often take their time convincing their daughters that the incest is their destiny. They will manipulate their daughters into believing that they don’t have a choice.

THAT IS NOT TRUE - IT IS A MYTH!!!
