Child Abuse Story From Brana

by Brana L
(Michigan, USA)




When I was only 6 years old until I was 17... 
When I was six years old, my father would come into my bedroom late at night. At first he would only read me stories and give me a kiss goodnight. Soon after, he started giving me more and more intimate kisses. I had no idea at the time that it was wrong.

After about a week, he started rubbing me in wrong places. I wasn't against it because I didn't know it was wrong, and it felt good. I was homeschooled and very sheltered.

My dad was also a drinker. One night, he came into and ripped my clothes off. This was the first time I was very worried, and after a few awkward minutes of his rubbing, he went all the way. I cried and cried and cried. I screamed more and more. He wouldn't stop. It was terrible. It was night after night. He thought about it as a common practice. I couldn't say anything to anyone because I started to think what he was doing was right.

After years of this, and after being able to use the Internet, I came to realize what he was doing was wrong. I really had no idea before this. Well, after my mother died very young, almost as soon as I was born, my father never loved again, but I still go to see him and have sex with him. I know it's wrong, but it is more like a hug with him to me.

It's NOT a hug...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Brana, your father is a sex offender. He's molesting you. Not only do you now know that, I believe you are writing your story here on my site as a cry for help. I believe you are reaching out. So allow me to reach out to you...

What your father has done to you, the dynamic between the both of you (which is way too complex to go into within the confines of this forum), has resulted in continued sexual assault. To be brief and simplistic, it is this "dynamic" that has you wrongly believing you are a willing participant, and that you are offering a lonely man comfort. This just isn't so, Brana. Your thinking is messed up because of his brainwashing. You have no responsibility in this. Your father was and is the adult; it's his responsibility to conduct himself in an appropriate fashion. It is inappropriate for him to have a sexual relationship with you. Father's DO NOT molest their daughters. Daughters are NOT to be used for sexual purposes, NO MATTER WHAT. Your father has misused his power in the most vile way. He's got you thinking that what the two of you have is something loving. It is NOT loving; it's twisted, it's wrong, and it's illegal. You need help, Brana.

You did not say if you are still a minor, although you suggested that you might be 17. If you are still a minor, please contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the sexual abuse at the hands of your father—and it IS sexual abuse, Brana; don't for one second think otherwise. Child Help are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you.

Whether or not you are an adult, I cannot be strong enough in my urging for you to seek out some form of professional counselling. You now know that what is going on is wrong; so please, do something to change it. Report what is happening, and then get some help. You're worth getting that help, Brana. You really are.
