I had my partners family over today for a bbq when some of her family began talking about bill cosby and the sexual abuse allegations against him - I heard ideas thrown around that the women enjoyed it. Why would it take so long to say something? They are just after money.

I was sexually abused by my father for over 7 years. I knew it was wrong but my

mother knew of it and there was no help from her.. so as a teenager why would I think other people would help me.. my whole family know about it now but I am still basically told to just ignore it and leave it. I have no evidence that’s why I can’t do anything about it.. I have nothing but my mental scars that I’m just forced to deal with.
