Child Abuse Story From Callie

by Callie
(Washington, USA)




Shattered Trust and a Terrified Little Girl: 
I was about a year or two when it all started. My mom and father just split up and I had to visit his with my brother every other weekend. It started the first weekend we where there. It all seemed fine at first, eating Wendy's and watching Disney movies. But then bedtime came, the time of day I grew to hate in the house. He would come in the room and quietly wake me up and take me to his room. He would put me on his bed and tell me that he had been hurting and only I could help him. So as I wanted to help just like any little girl would like to help her daddy.

He said I wasn't big enough yet to help in the ways he needed me to...yet...so he would turn me over and started anal rape on me. I couldn't scream, he had covered my face in the pillow. After that, I cried every time I had to see him. I had told my mom, but the police didn't do anything.

Years went by until I was five or six. He started putting objects inside of me, but he never went deep enough to take my "innocence" away.

I am now 19 years old. I live on my own. I know where he lives and he has contacted me once. I have filed a complaint and he is no longer allowed near me or my family.

I don't hate him for what he did. He is a sick man with issues, yes. He does not deserve to die or to be harmed in any way. The reason I think this is because he's living with a big man that was also in jail, so my father is learning his lesson very well.

So understandable...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Callie, whatever the reason the police did nothing after they were contacted by your mother, I cannot say. It would have been a simple matter to have you examined by a doctor, who would have been able to find "anal" evidence that you had been sexually abused. I am surprised that Child Protective Services were not called.

Although I'm sure I don't have to say it here, I will anyway: None of what happened was your fault, Callie. NONE OF IT! Your father was the adult; you were the child. Of course you'd want to help your daddy; what loving child wouldn't. He took advantage of that, and of your vulnerability and age. I do hope you decide to seek out some form of counselling for all this. A counsellor may be able to help you with the emotional turmoil...indeed, I'm very concerned about your last passive but revengeful statement, where you compare what you believe is a lesson he's learning with this "big man" and how you do not believe he deserves "to die or to be harmed in any way". While I completely understand those feelings, please consider getting help for this. Trust me Callie, if you take a revengeful spirit with you into your adulthood, it will come back to haunt you.

I do thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

A few words...
by: Emme

Callie, your story is that of so much pain. I can see it in the way you tell it. but revenge is not the answer. Yes, i wish also that someone would've beat and raped my father before he died, but I realise now that I have children that I would not be the same if I knew that had happened to him. YOU wont be either, and as right and justified as it feels to know what happened to you is happening to him, it can only cause you pain later on.

All of my love and wishes for you,
Emme
