    Sorry for your trouble, OP.

    Did you ever consider going public? A friend is considering going to the press with details of historic sexual abuse, partly as a way to help bring closure to a legal case against the organisation concerned. I'd love to see him getting justice, but I'm concerned about how going public might affect his mental health.

    Going to interject and suggest, unless there is a newsworthy element to either of your stories ie either the abused or abuser is a public figure, then you would probably be wasting your time and feel even more rejected. It is estimated that one in four children have suffered sexual abuse, the press unfortunately will not be interested.

    I'm a survivor of child sexual abuse, AMA wrote: »

    The police were involved in the case when I was 6 but he was never convicted, he has since died. Regarding the case of when I was 10-13 I have recently had a strength to go make a statement so I'm not to sure what will happen there yet.

    did you or your mother not report her partner for abusing you, at the time you told her?
    to either social workers or Gardai ?
