Child Abuse Story From Becca

by Rebecca
(USA)




From the time I was 3 to 11, I've been sexually abused by my father. My mom split when I was 2, leaving me with him. He wasn't an alcoholic or anything like that. He really did love me I guess...in his own sick way. He'd always make me lay in the bed with him. I was only 3. He'd rub me in places where 3-year-olds aren't supposed to be rubbed. He'd always say that he'd love me forever and that I'd never leave him. I was 6 when he actually raped me. I remember days before then when he'd make me rub him, make me take off my clothes for him, and make me kiss him.

The day he raped me, I was in my room, doing my homework. He came up behind me and just started kissing my neck. I remember giggling; it tickled. Then he took off my shirt. I got fidgety then. I think I kinda knew what he was about to do was wrong. He took off my pants, then just left. I thought he was gone for good and was about to close the door when he came back in with this white rope. He shoved me down on my bed and tied me to my headboard. Then he raped me. When he was done, he carried me into the bathroom, kissing me and feeling me and telling me that he loved me so much. That, "I was a good girl for making Daddy feel so good." He washed me up and made me sleep in his bed with him.

The next day at school, I remember debating whether telling someone or not. I finally ended up telling the school nurse. I showed her the bruises on my stomach and she called the police and Child Services I guess, because this lady in a suit came to take me to my Granny. He was put in jail for 6 to 10 years for molestation.

I'm now 13 and scared out of my wits that he'll come back for me. He's said so so many times in his letters. My Granny is going on 72 and is too weak for him. Please. Someone just please pray for me. I've already tried to convince my Granny to get a restraining order or something, but she's being stubborn. Just pray.

Please oh Please make a friend, have a friend
by: maurice

Hiya Becca, you brave child of God and the Universe ever so courageous to tell that nurse and sho her your bruises. You are an example to other children. You were afraid as most of them are but you overcame your fear and trusted your school nurse. You are blessed to have a Grandmother who loves and cares about you. But you are right she does not deserve to have the responsibility of minding you against that awful man Called your Father. She needs help, she needs to know you will always be safe. Darlene has given you loving advice, suggestions who to contact and tell all your little or big fears around that abuser/molester of a Father who ruined your innocence by deceiving you by saying I love you. Becca, I am certain you have one or two very special people with your granny who you told what you bad father did to you in trust. Trust yourself, love yourself, respect yourself, be brave and stay strong for yourself. With the help of a friend you will. A friend is someone very special in all of our lifes. One who will always be there for us no matter what happens. Do your best to have a friend. Don't let anyone ever again touch or do anything to you or your body against your will. Live a good life as a teenager, be active and alive with teams, groups, class mates your own age. there is safety in numbers. Have a healthy mind in a healthy body. when you mix with your own age group you gain strength and make friends who really care for you. ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. I CAN, I WILL, I MUST. JUST FOR PRETTY ME, BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL ME. HI..Don't forget the advice Darlene gave you in her comment. Talk to your school Nurse/counsellor or someone in Authority. There all there to care and protect you as you mature and grow. Ok Becca, begin today.

Courage
by: myrlande

Becca I think that is the bravest and most courageous thing you did by telling someone right away and not let it linger and so he could continue to abuse you. Child, have faith because God is with you, I know you probably don't think that he is there, but believe me honey, God is watching over you because you are his child. Sometimes,bad things happen to us and we are wandering where God is! believe me he is there. Have you considered giving your life to God? He has an eraser to erase all these awful feelings from your life. Just surrender to God honey. I have kids of my own and they are all boys including a 12 year old and I can not imagine anybody hurting my kids.Anyway, I am not a victim of sex abuse, but one of my sibling was abused by my step-dad and she is now in therapy and very suicidal and with kids of her own very difficult to maintain relationship with her husband and believe me she is a time-bomb. I have read many stories tonight and your story really touched me because you did not act like a victim and went ahead and stop your dad from continue keep up the faith and if you want to take my advise and move on with your life and trust in the Lord with all your heart.
