Child Abuse Story From Autumn S

by Autumn
(USA)




About two years ago, my mom married a man. The week after their marriage, he came to me and said he found me sexually attractive. I nodded and said okay. I started to dress a lot more modestly than i ever had before, covering enough so he wouldn't feel attracted to me and be attracted to my mom. But he kept coming to me saying i was attractive. Soon he started hugging me more and slapping my butt more. Then he informed me that last night he had a sex dream about me and him. Then he started putting his hands down my pants. I tried to stop him but the threatened to leave me, my two siblings, and my mom alone and we were literally dirt poor. So I sucked it up, going through week after week of touches, which soon led to him pleasing himself, to him trying and failing to please me. I cried nearly every night, and sometimes I woke up to see him watching me sleep. About 3 months later a friend finally found out and contacted child protective services immediately. I don't know what would have happened to me if she hadn't. Me and my two siblings were given to a family who has done nothing but care for us, and I couldn't be more blessed, but about twice a month i have nights where memories of what happened and what could have been flood through me and i am left to cry it all out. The trial is supposed to be in May, but it will most likely be delayed for about the literally 20th time. That man still haunts me even as we speak. I am 16 years old and trying to remain strong for my baby sister, who still cries for her father and mother, who have literally disowned me and rejected me.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me. The fact that this man was found out and will face a trial could mean that your baby sister is saved from the same fate. It wasn't about you being attractive; it was about a man who is a pedophile. Don't EVER forget that. You're with a loving family now; lean on them when you need additional support.

Bless You
by: Lisa

Please stay strong and realize you did the right thing by telling your friend. You did nothing wrong, and this is not your fault. The blame falls entirely on the person who did this and you are a blameless victim. I am so sorry this had to happen to you, but you did not deserve this. Bless you.

Familar story
by: Anonymous

My story is so much like yours. I can't believe how alike they are. My step dad came to me and said I was sexually attractive too. I don't believe how some people can put us through this. I hope your life is so much better as my story has only just came out. I'm with my mum but he's gone now.
Did you ever feel bad for letting someone find out? I do but i hate him at the same time. No else understands this, do you? It's okay if you don't. Thanks.

People are still asking me questions and I find them hard to answer. I hope you are so much better now and if not, good luck.
