I have no idea how much of an emotional burden being sexually abused is for you. Never have I had that same terribly unfortunate experience that you have had. You know that you are indeed a good person, although I'm sure being abused does not do wonders for your self esteem.
Many are telling you that although the abuse is not your fault, it is indeed your fault for not having have sought help. They are dead wrong. You can't be blamed for how you feel. It's very easy to tell someone to get help, but it is a very different thing to be the person who needs help.
Whoever is abusing you is making that decision, and they make it completely by themselves. That is a very very sad thing to hear, and an even sadder thing to know. People use their god-given free will, and sometimes it has devastating consequences for the people around them. But they are completely in control of this decision, and they are the ones who must accept the blame and the consequences for their deeds. God loves you and all of creation. But people have a remarkable way of screwing that creation up.
Sexual abuse is a very unfortunate aspect of our society. It is even more unfortunate that you are having to deal with it in your life. The decision to seek help is entirely your own. Perhaps you can find a way to solve the situation from within. Personally I think seeking the support of others is a great way to solve a problem, and if you decide that you want to get help, you can start by calling 1-800-656-HOPE. You can talk to someone there about what you have been going through, even if you don't want them to take direct action. It might just be nice to get some things out in the air so that you don't feel so alone about what's been happening to you.
I hope you do seek help. However, if you choose not to, then I hope you find some way to solve the fact that you are being abused and make your life as best as possible. God loves you and is with you always, and nothing that any person does can take that away from you.
