The process : The process of recovery from sexual abuse is slow, but you can do it. Find a therapist who specializes in abuse. It will take time to trust anyone, but they will help you. The book the courage to heal can help too. When you are ready, a support group for survivors will help as well. Basically, you were hurt by the experiences, but your are not to blame and deserve to have a whole fulfilling life.

Move on: A good therapist will encourage you to move on. Popular books that encourage you to hate and to seek revenge will only make you sicker. Quality friends, hard work at a career and sustaining real relationships, and good hobbies and fitness activities can give you a life that's better than most other folks.
