Surviving Family Trauma: A Story of Overcoming Childhood Sexual Abuse and Incest

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This video contains graphic discussions of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), incest, paedophilia, and suicide. Viewer discretion is advised.

Childhood sexual abuse by family members is tragically more common than many realise. Statistics reveal that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys experience sexual abuse before the age of 18—often at the hands of a trusted relative. Survivors of this trauma frequently endure long-term consequences, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and struggles with self-worth and relationships.

This video sheds light on the harsh reality of incest and CSA, offering insight into the signs of abuse, the process of healing, and the importance of speaking out. It follows one survivor's deeply personal journey through dissociative identity disorder (DID), misdiagnoses, family denial, and the lasting scars left by abuse.
