I've been through this myself, my brother abused me for years. I was diagnosed with EUPD at the age of 22 and disclosed it to my mum. She didn't believe me, kicked me out and I had to live in supported housing for nearly 2 years, she still lives with him now. He's 40 in September. We have no relationship anymore. I haven't seen him in 13 years. She's a narcissist. And he's pretty much the same. This storyline broke my heart all over again. I'm glad it's been talked about, it has to be honest. I couldn't get justice for it but I know what he did to me.
I was sexually assaulted by my older sister's boyfriend I started drinking and self harming myself and lashing out at anyone but i still kept quiet until a few weeks ago and my family have called me a disgusting liar but im glad I've spoken about this and I've reported it to the police now
"The earlier you disclose and get help, the more chance you have of having a happy life." I am a survivor in the States, so I cannot watch all the episodes, but I am so grateful to all involved! Thank you! It is so courageous to come forward! I believe you! And there are more and more resources available. You are NOT alone.
I wasn’t abused by a sibling but I was sexually abused by my cousin when I was aged 9 I only came forward about it this year 15 years later and this storyline helped me realise that I’m not alone and there’s so many people who have been threw the same situation as me it’s really helped me open up.
Both Ryan Mulvey and Isabelle Smith pulled this off so brilliantly that I have no words. I despise JJ and it is all thanks to him. At such a young age, Ryan mastered the look and expression of a desperate mad-man, and Isabelle's raw and incredible performance leading to the climax was just magnificent. This is the best medium to use in order to spread the awareness. Bravo to all of you.
Ryan and Isabelle (JJ and Frankie) are brilliant in doing this storyline as I bet it’s not easy to do and I hope they are getting support as actors during this storyline, also Ashley and Suzanne who play Darren and Suzanne are also brilliant in how they are in playing the parents and how they both treat the twins and react to them
this story hits home, as someone who kept my brothers abuse secret for over 10 years, the relief of having someone believe you if feels incredible but i was terrified what people would say. dealing with him denying it, police and the rest of my family etc, i was lucky those closest to me gave me the support i needed. its not the same for everyone though, ik some dont get that. i wonder how things go with JJ, i hope he gets what he deserves. i never got that ending personally, but for anyone else going through smth as awful as this, please take it from my experiences, it will be hard, but i got support when i never believed i would, speak to someone you trust and itll be okay no matter how scared you might be dont let it be the reason you keep quiet. No one deserves to go trough this xx
This storyline was so powerful. The acting was amazing and the storyline has clearly walked closely with survivors. I’m so proud of hollyoaks, the UK, channel 4 using this platform for a voice for those that have experienced this. Your never alone
I dated a girl who confided that her brother abused her. I didn’t know how to act, I completely shut down. How was I meant to stop from beating him up on sight. How could I ever look her mum in the eye. She was so damaged by it, that it was only years later I saw the patterns. It’s so abhorrent to imagine. The way it’s been portrayed on tv has been eye opening.
I have to say I think this might be the best COSA (child on child sexual abuse) storyline I’ve ever witnessed. As a survivor of this type of SA I have found it both difficult to watch because i find the helplessness I felt very pertinent to most survivors of SA. You don’t always know something isn’t right because you’re groomed into thinking this is just how things work. But it’s also really therapeutic to really look from an outside perspective so that I can understand my abuse more. I am in therapy I really suggest survivors don’t watch this storyline unless they are in therapy. My abuse wasn’t sibling abuse though, mine was from my ‘best friend’ we were only 3 days apart though, who also lived next door to me. And it lasted for 10 years in reality he was like a brother. His family were my guardian parents at the time if anything happened to my parents and to this day that is why it was so important I reported because I would have no escape if my parents died. It would’ve not stopped he would’ve taken advantage of my parents death.
This is why Hollyoaks is my absolute favourite soap - they tackle taboo topics head-on in the name of spreading awareness, supporting those affected, and helping them feel understood and heard. This heart breaking storyline has been portrayed impeccably. All of the actors, writers, producers and crew should be very proud of this project, and the impact it has made.
This has been such an emotional and well-written storyline and I hope that Isabelle Smith and Ryan Mulvey win so many awards for portraying such difficult roles
As a SSA survivor, I can't believe I'm just now coming across this video! You all did an incredible job. I'm going to be sharing this all over the place. Thank you, Hollyoaks! Thank you, Tanith M! Thank you, Liz Roberts. Thank you very much to the anonymous contributors also. This is such a great overview of the issue!! As a body safety educator in schools- and a child safety professional in person and online, I will be using this resource A LOT!! Gosh! I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. And to the actors--wow! You two were amazing!!
First soap I believe to tackle this horrific yet real subject. I was abused by my older “brother”. It was a month away from my 13th birthday when it started. He was 16. It went on for just under 2 years. There were stuff that happened that I cant bring myself to type even now. Let alone say out loud. I will forever long for who I could of been had it not happened. I’m nearly 24 now & still haunted & tortured everday. Still havnt told a soul. Hollyoaks however have etched something In my brain that makes want to tell. Thank you for doing this Hollyoaks. & I’m sorry to anyone out there who has been through SSA
I feel sorry for anyone who’s been through this😢😭💔Hollyoaks has been amazing for doing this storyline this year and showing awareness to sibling SA well done to the actors that have been involved in this storyline❤️
I’m a mother to a 3 year old daughter if she told me she was being abused I’d believe her in an instant regardless of who was doing it to her. I will never understand those parents who accuse their children of lying especially about something like this
@@CarlBland-l8lthey don't want to accept that they created an abuser is my only guess they probably feel partially guilty for it and try to act like it isn't happening instead of deal with it
Hollyoaks have done a brilliant storyline for this topic, it’s brilliant how they’re so hard hitting and the awareness that is shown and made by hollyoaks when they started making the storyline.
I know other soaps have tackled abuse in different levels but I think Hollyoaks stepped up the gear when it came to siblings doing the abuse well done all involved in the story line from script to the actors and bravo to thos made this film on TH-cam ❤😥😪👏👏👏👏
The way how this was portrayed is both realistic and scary at the same time. I feel really bad for those who had to go through this type of thing or worst, sometimes parents do it to their own children is just sickening. I have a twin brother myself, but he knows full well that we would never ever have that type of relationship at all! Credits to Isabelle and Ryan, I can imagine it would’ve been upsetting to film but just for the series, but for the actors themselves. Sibling Sexual Abuse is something I personally never really understood until now, despite it being quite dark and disturbing, it actually helps bring out such an underrated theme that can happen more commonly in real life without realising it.
this happend one time to me my brother was younger then me by 2 years but in my opinion age doesn’t matter he still did it this is the first time I’ve spoken out holly oaks have helped me so much seeing it was not normal. he’s now abusive in different ways to me and my mum my house still is a very scary place.
My story is similar to the guys. I was told by the police that it was not in the interest of the public for it to go to court due to the fact we had a troubled background. I was lucky to have my family believe me
This is one of the strongest storylines and most powerful ones that Hollyoaks have covered. I remember the emotional impact that Mandy’s story had years ago and have had the same feelings and reactions to this story. The actors have done an incredible job.
I just found out my abuser is getting married. It’s hit me so hard and I’m starting to realize that I will have to die with the secret of what he did to me.
As a survivor of child on child sexual assault from a bully, this storyline is really important. The way it shows how people who have been taught to internalize their feelings will sometimes explode outwardly like this in high stress. 10:58 this moment really affects me as someone who struggles with memory of the incidents. I do know the trauma that was caused, I don’t entirely know the events, but I know what happened.
The best storyline of the year with superb acting from Isabelle Smith, Ryan MulveyJess Fox ,James McKenna and Ashley Taylor Dawson. Well done Hollyoaks
Love that Hollyoaks tackle the most hardest things that family go through it’s killer me watching sibling abuse I couldn’t imagine what they go through ❤
Thank you so much. Hollyoaks for sharing investors. This has been the most amazing journey to watch Frankie come out of a shed but also go back into a shed. The actor who plays Frankie is amazing she did not cry in interview once I saying what she wanted to cry but she didn't. She didn't emotional barrier me personally, I've only been to the sexual and abuse once. Back in 2021 and it stopped. But I kind of feel like I can never be myself around any buyer. Any press never again and hollyoaks you have done yourself an incredible job of staying strong within this character of storyline. I concede the real life drama that has brought to it me I know I can never physically forgive myself for ever becoming something I don't feel comfortable in and like my happiness has been damaged in my trust has been disclosed. Distrusted so thank you
I just never understand how as a mother you wouldnt believe your child. I get that both are your children but the signs are there. When a child acts out theres always a reason behind it esp if its out of their usual character. If a child is the abuser as well isnt it better to get them help asap or you are just helping them to become worse as an adult. My personal opinion is that if you are like that then you are always like that. Sending love to anyone who has had this happen to them
So many victims don’t get justice, I’m from the USA and I thought it was only here they don’t get justice. It’s sickening how family members defend the abuser but never the victim. The justice courts are the same and I honestly don’t know which one is worse.
My ex girlfriend who I was with at the time was sexually assaulted by her brother at 19 while me and her was together. When she told me I went absolutely crazy like anyone would. All she wanted to do is not to ruin the family she didn't want to be the bad one because her brother had a wife and a child. She told her sister and her sister believes her but still talks to the brother and has food with him, her other siblings don't believe her. She blames me because I am the one who told her whole family about the situation because I thought they would believe me and stand up for her. I wanted her to go the police so he could face the consequences of his actions but she didn't want to ruin his life. I know in time she will understand that he has to face the consequences but that will be in her own time. We are not together no more because she blames me for destroying the family dynamics. Who knows how she feels. But one thing I can say is the storyline and how the man acts after he commits that crime is spot on everything that was said he said the exact same thing to her after as-well. Got a soft spot for SSA survivors there really really strong.
I went through that siblings sexual abuse before when I was eight and I did told the teachers and my foster parents when I was 14 as I realised why I felt angry towards the boys who just not acting normal at school
these story lines definitely need talked about because look how many people have messaged in to tell there story and how many of them haven’t told it before been to scared to talk about it
It is considered to be one of the most common forms of abuse in our homes. It's a silent epidemic, but because of the brave survivors and Hollyoaks covering this story, it will be more in the open.
It's been a thought provoking story line, much like the male rape that was covered nearly twenty five years ago. Both taboo subjects that need to be discussed and would still need to be discussed years from now.
Thank you 🙏 for talking about this terrible topic on hollyhoaks,most of the time the sister who has been abused by the brother,feels herself guilty,it’s a natural thing for a young girl,to question about her body changing,she wants to be attractive and find a boyfriend to have someone who cares for her,but when the boyfriend is the brother,the girl knows that there’s something wrong,she can’t act in a natural way because this relation is not normal,it’s against nature.and the family doesn’t have time or too busy to realize what is going on between the brother and the sister.the boy wants to show his power on his sister,unfortunately he is too scared of people from outside his family,because he doesn’t know them opposite to his sister who is the person that he sees more often,and he feels really confident to have power over his sister.siblings sexual abuse could be a big trauma for the girl and she could carry it all her life unfortunately./thank you hollyhoaks./Moses Campbell./a French fan.
so glad my brother never did anything like to me growing if I was like frankie I would tell my mum and dad straight away I would never hide something as big as this
My first disclosure ended with my mother yelling at me, telling me I was a liar. I withdrew, terribly hurt and afraid. My second disclosure happened 50 years later, because my brother tried to ruin what was left of my life. Still today, he doesn't feel any remorse nor pity. And people react with a kind of avoiding manner: 'We don't like things like that'. Almost nobody asked me whether I had strenght to love life, to survive and to endure the emotional pain and lifelong suffering and my ruined life. Too many circumstances gathered together. An unhappy life and sad destiny is just that, a tragedy.
I am terribly sad when I see that the theme of sibling sexual abuse is still - and maybe will always be - a taboo theme. I would like to help victims, with my lifelong experience of what it means, the understanding of complex consequences and the ways it should be dealt with. But I am now, my brother and me being in our late sixties, still prosecuted, attacked by him via legal institutions, professionals that he had bribed or used blackmail against them - so that they stood on his side, together with 'flying monkies' - those who help him attack me. I am terribly tired. I see that it is his lifelong battle to prevent me from saying what happened. I saw him as human, I used to feel sorry for him, but not any more. They told me he was a psychopath. That doesn't help me at all. I never told our father, because my mother used blackmail against me. With her being ill, it was easy for her - I loved her, she was my mother, but she would always say that she might die if I would behave as a mother's traitor. That only resulted, years later, in my father's terrible emotional pain when we were both attacked by my brother - my brother remained up to this day in his attacking manner in order to save himself. Both our parents passed away, and I am, just as when I was a child, alone in front of my brother's attack which is now, no more no less, a threat to my life. My father died because of stress, saying that he sees that my brother - in his words - wants to end both our lives. His being over ninety years old made it impossible for me to tell him what my brother did to me - he wouldn't have been able to stand it, to live with such a terrible revelation. That is the sad story of sibling sexual abuse being undisclosed, and it is so for so many, so many other adult survivors. And to say, to disclose, at any age, means that you loose friends, you loose everything - people simply don't like the theme, they boycott it altogether. And that way the vicious circle is completed.
It was scary to say this but I went I went through it to I didn't report it because the person who did it died five years later andoly thing it makes me happy is Hollyoaks
So wait, if the perpetrator is not found guilty at all, even if they confess (at least part of it), then the victim is not allowed to openly talk about it? Or am I misunderstanding what is said? If it is actually the case, wouldn't that add an extra layer of trauma on top? Feels like the victim getting silenced by yet another party... 😢
This happened too me i dont remember how it started early me and my brother used to have to have baths together without an adoult i was 8 the first time i thold my mom that i didnt like that my brother asked me to take of my panties and look he was 10 mom didnt belive me and said that he would never do that after that i got death treats from him i got anough when he came in to my room completaly naked and started tutching me and trying too take of my clothes i screamed and scramed for him to leve me alone i was 14 he was 16 i thold my mom she told me she would loock into it latrer she thold me that she had talked to my brother and she said how can you lie about youre brother but i never did i started locking my room and got in trubble for that i didnt feel safe i used to wake up soiled cuz i didnt feel safe enough too go to the bathroom i moved to my father when i was 16 and a half cuz i couldt do it anymore i fealt soo bad i could say it too anyone cuz who are going too belive me if not even my mother did i thold my dad when i was around 19 he belived me but he has started having contact with him again and i feel like tje black sheep again ive struggled with depression and s*iside toughts and atemts im so glad this show exsistes my brother never got any reprecussions and i hate that im not a hate full person but i hope he b*rn some day he ruind my life and got away with it i still have night mares and i dont feel that i can trust anyone in my family i hope that parants listne to their kids and watch out for if youre kid chages their behavier and if there is a problem seperate them and get them therepy dont just brush it of like my mom did i dont have a mom or a big brother
Se eu não me engano tem uma playlist Hollywoaks Global episodes aqui no canal, cada episódio tem 20 minutos. Por ser uma novela não vai só falar sobre essa storyline, até que as outras histórias são boas
You do realise that this stuff never happens real life, like come on Hollyoaks you know better but this has to be the most stupidest storyline you have done because this doesn't happpen. Siblings SA other siblings
Umm this actually happens in real life. I feel sorry for anyone you know who may be going through this. Maybe you should do a google search about this, and use your brain for once.
the strength it must have taken for these people to come out and share their real life stories just so others can also find the courage to speak out is incredible !!! they are so unbelievably strong ❤️🩹
"The earlier you disclose and get help, the more chance you have of having a happy life." I am a survivor in the States, so I cannot watch all the episodes, but I am so grateful to all involved! Thank you! It is so courageous to come forward! I believe you! And there are more and more resources available. You are NOT alone.
Probably one of Hollyoaks best written and acted storylines, everyone involved should be proud of spreading awareness.
I've been through this myself, my brother abused me for years. I was diagnosed with EUPD at the age of 22 and disclosed it to my mum. She didn't believe me, kicked me out and I had to live in supported housing for nearly 2 years, she still lives with him now. He's 40 in September. We have no relationship anymore. I haven't seen him in 13 years. She's a narcissist. And he's pretty much the same. This storyline broke my heart all over again. I'm glad it's been talked about, it has to be honest. I couldn't get justice for it but I know what he did to me.
I am so sorry babe ❤
@@Kelsey-maeLochead hope frankie dont let jj win and hope darren keep her safe ?.
@@MichelleLohde-uv2rx @hollyoaks Frankie mum will know about what JJ done
I don't know if it counts as slibing sexaul abuse, but my stepbrother did the same thing to me when I was about frankie
@@Lilymorris-p8l i am really sorry be stong if your mum or dad deidnt help her you dont need them sweetheart remeber you strong and love you wins ?.
I was sexually assaulted by my older sister's boyfriend I started drinking and self harming myself and lashing out at anyone but i still kept quiet until a few weeks ago and my family have called me a disgusting liar but im glad I've spoken about this and I've reported it to the police now
i’m proud of you and i hope everything works out for you ❤
@@azzy3331 thank you
Though this is about sibling sexual abuse.. It is still good that you went to the police.
This has been the best soap storyline of the year.
Good job to everyone who have worked on it!
It's unfortunate how some of these survivors don't get justice through the courts or their family.
I hope that won't happen to Frankie
"The earlier you disclose and get help, the more chance you have of having a happy life." I am a survivor in the States, so I cannot watch all the episodes, but I am so grateful to all involved!

I wasn’t abused by a sibling but I was sexually abused by my cousin when I was aged 9 I only came forward about it this year 15 years later and this storyline helped me realise that I’m not alone and there’s so many people who have been threw the same situation as me it’s really helped me open up.
u are so strong ❤
Both Ryan Mulvey and Isabelle Smith pulled this off so brilliantly that I have no words. I despise JJ and it is all thanks to him. At such a young age, Ryan mastered the look and expression of a desperate mad-man, and Isabelle's raw and incredible performance leading to the climax was just magnificent. This is the best medium to use in order to spread the awareness. Bravo to all of you.
It's a truly awful unimaginable thing. Hollyoaks have been incredibly brave tackling this and the actors have been incredible in their performances
Ryan and Isabelle (JJ and Frankie) are brilliant in doing this storyline as I bet it’s not easy to do and I hope they are getting support as actors during this storyline, also Ashley and Suzanne who play Darren and Suzanne are also brilliant in how they are in playing the parents and how they both treat the twins and react to them
this story hits home, as someone who kept my brothers abuse secret for over 10 years, the relief of having someone believe you if feels incredible but i was terrified what people would say. dealing with him denying it, police and the rest of my family etc, i was lucky those closest to me gave me the support i needed. its not the same for everyone though, ik some dont get that. i wonder how things go with JJ, i hope he gets what he deserves. i never got that ending personally, but for anyone else going through smth as awful as this, please take it from my experiences, it will be hard, but i got support when i never believed i would, speak to someone you trust and itll be okay no matter how scared you might be dont let it be the reason you keep quiet. No one deserves to go trough this xx

I wanted her to go the police so he could face the consequences of his actions but she didn't want to ruin his life. I know in time she will understand that he has to face the consequences but that will be in her own time. We are not together no more because she blames me for destroying the family dynamics. Who knows how she feels. But one thing I can say is the storyline and how the man acts after he commits that crime is spot on everything that was said he said the exact same thing to her after as-well.
Got a soft spot for SSA survivors there really really strong.
Why is it that you or others can't go to the police?
I'm not trying to judge you.. I am trying to understand.
Ryan and Isabelle have been absolutely amazing congratulations to you both 👏
I went through that siblings sexual abuse before when I was eight and I did told the teachers and my foster parents when I was 14 as I realised why I felt angry towards the boys who just not acting normal at school
Isabella deserves a good award. Ryan played his part well
Absolutely phenomenal story, and so well acted by everyone involved. ❤️
these story lines definitely need talked about because look how many people have messaged in to tell there story and how many of them haven’t told it before been to scared to talk about it
It's hard to believe this happens in real life
Sadly it does happen but the person doing it is a liar and a bully and always blame their victim
It is considered to be one of the most common forms of abuse in our homes. It's a silent epidemic, but because of the brave survivors and Hollyoaks covering this story, it will be more in the open.
SA usually comes from someone in your own family unfortunately
It's been a thought provoking story line, much like the male rape that was covered nearly twenty five years ago. Both taboo subjects that need to be discussed and would still need to be discussed years from now.
"Its not us telling that breaks the family, the perpetrator broke the family the minute they touched the victim"
Damn
And so very true
Thank you 🙏 for talking about this terrible topic on hollyhoaks,most of the time the sister who has been abused by the brother,feels herself guilty,it’s a natural thing for a young girl,to question about her body changing,she wants to be attractive and find a boyfriend to have someone who cares for her,but when the boyfriend is the brother,the girl knows that there’s something wrong,she can’t act in a natural way because this relation is not normal,it’s against nature.and the family doesn’t have time or too busy to realize what is going on between the brother and the sister.the boy wants to show his power on his sister,unfortunately he is too scared of people from outside his family,because he doesn’t know them opposite to his sister who is the person that he sees more often,and he feels really confident to have power over his sister.siblings sexual abuse could be a big trauma for the girl and she could carry it all her life unfortunately./thank you hollyhoaks./Moses Campbell./a French fan.
This storyline is heartbreaking
Jackbarker115 WD this storyline is very upsetting!😢
she’s such a good actress ♡ !!!!
I saw a clip on TikTok, and its finally why I’m confronting him. Finally writing a letter
Hollyoaks need more mature hitting stories like this.
THANK YOU ❤
Really thank you...
Amazing acting in this storyline
I feel sorry for the people who had sibling sexual abuse
so glad my brother never did anything like to me growing if I was like frankie I would tell my mum and dad straight away I would never hide something as big as this
My first disclosure ended with my mother yelling at me, telling me I was a liar. I withdrew, terribly hurt and afraid. My second disclosure happened 50 years later, because my brother tried to ruin what was left of my life. Still today, he doesn't feel any remorse nor pity. And people react with a kind of avoiding manner: 'We don't like things like that'. Almost nobody asked me whether I had strenght to love life, to survive and to endure the emotional pain and lifelong suffering and my ruined life. Too many circumstances gathered together. An unhappy life and sad destiny is just that, a tragedy.
Sorry to read that.
I am terribly sad when I see that the theme of sibling sexual abuse is still - and maybe will always be - a taboo theme. I would like to help victims, with my lifelong experience of what it means, the understanding of complex consequences and the ways it should be dealt with. But I am now, my brother and me being in our late sixties, still prosecuted, attacked by him via legal institutions, professionals that he had bribed or used blackmail against them - so that they stood on his side, together with 'flying monkies' - those who help him attack me. I am terribly tired. I see that it is his lifelong battle to prevent me from saying what happened. I saw him as human, I used to feel sorry for him, but not any more. They told me he was a psychopath. That doesn't help me at all. I never told our father, because my mother used blackmail against me. With her being ill, it was easy for her - I loved her, she was my mother, but she would always say that she might die if I would behave as a mother's traitor. That only resulted, years later, in my father's terrible emotional pain when we were both attacked by my brother - my brother remained up to this day in his attacking manner in order to save himself. Both our parents passed away, and I am, just as when I was a child, alone in front of my brother's attack which is now, no more no less, a threat to my life. My father died because of stress, saying that he sees that my brother - in his words - wants to end both our lives. His being over ninety years old made it impossible for me to tell him what my brother did to me - he wouldn't have been able to stand it, to live with such a terrible revelation. That is the sad story of sibling sexual abuse being undisclosed, and it is so for so many, so many other adult survivors. And to say, to disclose, at any age, means that you loose friends, you loose everything - people simply don't like the theme, they boycott it altogether. And that way the vicious circle is completed.
@@elien-h8q sorry.. 😔
Isabelle has quickly become one of the shows best actresses. I really hope she stays after the time jump!!!
She is it’s been confirmed
i love frankie 🥰🥺 0:07
It was scary to say this but I went I went through it to I didn't report it because the person who did it died five years later andoly thing it makes me happy is Hollyoaks
Poor Frankie 😢
If you hate jj he a great actor and Frankie
Best Storyline of a Truth year no worries Frankie 🙏🏻 but right after.
Frankie have full support by Darren, Lucas and Jeremy Blake
It is heartbreak ❤
if your one kids is abusing your another kids plase belive the kids abuse not one is doing abuse you lose them ?.
Disgusting- frankie is a good girl but made insecure through JJ :(
So wait, if the perpetrator is not found guilty at all, even if they confess (at least part of it), then the victim is not allowed to openly talk about it? Or am I misunderstanding what is said?
If it is actually the case, wouldn't that add an extra layer of trauma on top? Feels like the victim getting silenced by yet another party... 😢
i really wish that it wasnt frankie and jj
This happened too me i dont remember how it started early me and my brother used to have to have baths together without an adoult i was 8 the first time i thold my mom that i didnt like that my brother asked me to take of my panties and look he was 10 mom didnt belive me and said that he would never do that after that i got death treats from him i got anough when he came in to my room completaly naked and started tutching me and trying too take of my clothes i screamed and scramed for him to leve me alone i was 14 he was 16 i thold my mom she told me she would loock into it latrer she thold me that she had talked to my brother and she said how can you lie about youre brother but i never did i started locking my room and got in trubble for that i didnt feel safe i used to wake up soiled cuz i didnt feel safe enough too go to the bathroom i moved to my father when i was 16 and a half cuz i couldt do it anymore i fealt soo bad i could say it too anyone cuz who are going too belive me if not even my mother did i thold my dad when i was around 19 he belived me but he has started having contact with him again and i feel like tje black sheep again ive struggled with depression and s*iside toughts and atemts im so glad this show exsistes my brother never got any reprecussions and i hate that im not a hate full person but i hope he b*rn some day he ruind my life and got away with it i still have night mares and i dont feel that i can trust anyone in my family i hope that parants listne to their kids and watch out for if youre kid chages their behavier and if there is a problem seperate them and get them therepy dont just brush it of like my mom did i dont have a mom or a big brother

Algum brasileiro pra dizer onde consigo assistir???
Se eu não me engano tem uma playlist Hollywoaks Global episodes aqui no canal, cada episódio tem 20 minutos. Por ser uma novela não vai só falar sobre essa storyline, até que as outras histórias são boas
My name is Thomas connell 😭
WD i have been through this myself, this black woman was sexual abusing me when i was 29 years old! #Hollyoaks #Stopabuse 😡
😭💔
You do realise that this stuff never happens real life, like come on Hollyoaks you know better but this has to be the most stupidest storyline you have done because this doesn't happpen. Siblings SA other siblings
Umm this actually happens in real life. I feel sorry for anyone you know who may be going through this. Maybe you should do a google search about this, and use your brain for once.
This does happen and this entire video has people discussing their sa experiences and even charities who work with this talking about it
The answer is quite simple---VOTE DONALD TRUMP!
For more abuse? Why would u vote for someone who is a predator? 😮
This is a uk show and it even happens in the USA
the strength it must have taken for these people to come out and share their real life stories just so others can also find the courage to speak out is incredible !!! they are so unbelievably strong ❤️🩹
I’m so glad I found this now in TH-cam 🥹 been looking all episodes in Tiktok 😅 Love from Philippines 🇵🇭
This is a wonderful performance and this storyline is showing wonderful awareness. 🥹🥹
"The earlier you disclose and get help, the more chance you have of having a happy life." I am a survivor in the States, so I cannot watch all the episodes, but I am so grateful to all involved! Thank you! It is so courageous to come forward! I believe you! And there are more and more resources available. You are NOT alone.
