Hello, I am new and so grateful to have found this site. I was participating in several other groups but found that none of them really addressed what I knew deep inside to be my unique struggle. Many people, including some in my own family, dismiss this kind of treatment of children and young adults as "no big deal." I have come to believe that it is the lack of support and acknowledgement of the pain covert incest has on us that does the most damage, at least this is true for me. My Father treated me as a girlfriend and the sexual overtones that constantly had me struggling and confused made me feel crazy and alone. It truly created a dark spot on my soul that I have struggled to understand since. I really only learned that it was "a thing" with an actually label recently. Just knowing this, and the fact that all of you out there really get it, is so healing. I am looking for a group that talks about this subject openly.
I also am interested in starting a meeting in person (maybe a 12-step) here in San Diego, CA. Is anyone in San Diego and interested?
