Child Abuse Story From Anna

by Anna
(England, UK)




I know that my story seems small - and compared with all of the other stories from everyone else it is - but it has had a big effect on my life, and reading other people's stories has given me the courage to tell you all....

When I was six, or thereabouts, my best friend's older brother called me into the living room and had his penis out. He told me to be a good girl and lick it. I wasn't sure what to do, and had no idea that what I was doing was wrong. I did as he said. I don't have any memory of what happened next. I assume that it ended at that.

I went home to my mum and told her what had happened, my best friend had told me that he "made her touch his willy and she didn't like doing it". My mum went to his parents (he was 16). They said not to tell the police; she did anyway, thank God. He was put on the sex offenders register for a mere five years and that was that.

I'm still very close to my friend. We're practically inseparable, even now. If I ever visit her at her parents' home and he is there, I just don't know what to do with myself...I don't think he recognises me, but we all know what happened. He has gotten two women pregnant and neither of them wants him to act as the child's father. One was already married and the other very young.

Protect yourself; stay away from your friend's home!
by: Darlene Barriere - webmaster

Anna, no matter how close you are to your friend; you should NEVER be put in the situation where your sexual abuser is in the same house, never mind the same room as you. Draw a line in the proverbial sand; do not permit this sex offender to get anywhere near you. He's an adult now with a lot more strength and power that could result in escalated methods of getting his perversions satisfied. If his parents allow him in their home, don't go there. Keep yourself safe by insisting that your friend visit you in your home.

Don't compare your story to that of others, Anna. The fact that what happened to you is affecting your life means it is NOT a small thing, and it never will be a small thing. I strongly urge you to seek out some form of counselling in order to deal with the emotional residue the incident caused you. You really are worth it.

My friend .
Please don’t think that your story is small it is not.No story of abuse is smaller than another. We all have a story to tell and we all deserve to be heard. You have a story to tell of what happened to you and you deserve to be heard . I use to think that what happened to me was very small and a very minor thing compared to what other people went through, But years of therapy made me realize that my story is just as important
AND SO IS YOUR STORY.

You where violated as I was and you DESERVE to be heard , So please do not think your story should go untold. these people Must be stopped and by telling what happened to you, you are doing Your part to stop them…and I am proud of you for speaking out

I wish you the best of luck
