Contains Abuse - Reporting past abuse

[Veggie]

Hi, I havent used this website in a while but anyway...
I finally am in a place where i want to turn in the person that sexually abused me growing up. I am just freaked out and a lot of stuff is coming up and I could use some insight about what happens, if anyone knows what happens.

I finally told my mom, and younger sister, who fully support me. Along with my therapist, husband and best friends. I dont think i would even consider this if it were for them. I am just frightened about all the **** that could come up.

Its compouned by the fact that this is my brother-in-law(older sister) and he has his 2 boys. If i could take them i would in a heart beat, i just its so much stuff to deal with and I feel like i am drowiing in it.

Thank you if you got through all that. <3

First off *hugs*

Its great that you have a family supporting you. I don't know your age or where you live, but depending on your age/the time when the abuse occurred, it may be barred by the statute of limitations and might not go anywhere.

I don't want to deter you from reporting it, but I wanted you to be aware.

Im 23, and the statute of limitations in my state is 12 years after the abuse occured or after turning 18 in. I checked it before i even considered it.
And even if nothing comes of it, i know that its out of my hands, and they will check on his kids.
