Episode 75: Self Discovery - Sexual Abuse

Sexual abuse is not a fun topic. I want to share my story with you about my brother's claim that our mother was having a sexual relationship with him. Is it true?

Through conversations with my brother, he claimed that my mother's older brother abused her. The age difference was fifteen years. I wanted to believe him and I did. Until I couldn't. I caught him a lie about this claim. It made me question whether anything he told me was true. How do you have a relationship with a liar?

My dilemma was to be able to accept that I will never know the answer to the question. Through my Reiki therapy, I was able to identify that this issue with my brother was lying just the surface. My brother's daughter sent me an evite because she is having a baby and this seemed to stir the pot. My Reiki Master asked me to write a letter to my brother without the intent to mail it.

I wrote that letter. Because I had no intent to mail it, I was able to "dump" my negative feelings. I held nothing back. What a cleansing experience that was! By writing that letter, I found the peace I so desperately needed.
