Child Abue Story From Kirsty

by Kirsty
(Scotland)

Things started when I was about 6, I can't remember anything happening before that. Me and my bestfriend who is 2 years younger than me used to play in the field at the top of our street, make dens ect... The boy who lived across the road from me (he was 14 at the time) used to help us build them, I can remember the first time it happened, me and my friend were sitting either side of the boy, he asked us if we wanted to play a game and ofcourse we wanted to, we were kids... He pulled his penis out of his trousers and told us to touch him, he showed us how to play with it and we were to take turns .... We did it, we didn't know any different, this went on for a while, he would touch us, I hated it it hurt, but he didn't stop this went on from when I was 6 until I was 11 many things happened in those years, we had to perform different acts on him, dance for him and give him oral sex, when I was 11 my friend was 9, he took us up to the field and had full intercourse with us, we had never spoke about this to anyone, up until last week when I told my support worker, police are involved now and everythings coming out, I am now 18 but I am still finding it hard to deal with, I get flash backs and go into panick attaks, I am receiving support now and hopefully it will help ....

I'm so proud of you for telling. That was such a courageous thing to do. So many don't tell because they're afraid they won't be believed or because they fear retaliation or because they feel shame. Always remember that what he did to you wasn't your fault. He knew it was wrong, but he did it anyway. He took advantage of your youth and your vulnerabilities. At 6 years old you had no power. He had all the power and he misused it. Regardless of what happens now, always remember that it wasn't your fault. It will never be your fault. Fault lies on his shoulders. The best thing for you now is to be open to the process of whatever help you've got coming your way. Counselling, for example. I hope you're in some type of counselling or therapy so that you are able to put what happened in perspective. You didn't deserve to be sexually abused. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Lean on the resources available to you. Tell the adults in your life when you need more help and insist you get that help. You can't change what happened, but you sure as heck can be involved in the process of getting what you need now that it has happened. Remember that you're worthy of the help. I do wish you all the best, Kirsty, and thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
