Child Abuse Story From Cori

by Cori
(Location Undisclosed)




Craziness: 
Well, I think it all started when I was apx in grade 6 or 7.. that would be about age 12? I have no memory of before that time...I sometimes wonder if i could be hypnotized to remember? but that perhaps there is nothing TO remember. I do recall having a wierd desire for one of my favorite male teachers to be my father...I was the oldest girl with one younger sister. my stepfather repeatedly touched my chest/breasts in the form of giving me back massages. He peeked in on me in the washroom several times and once feigned sleep in an excuse to fondle my genitals...over my underwear thank god. after that worse incident I finally began to hate him... before that i had extreme self doubt. my friend telling me he had touched her breasts spirred me to believe in my own experiences as being true and not my own doing or imagination. I remember being afraid of him mixed with loving him because he was the only dad i really knew. my own father being only a two week visit each year.

I told, tried to protect my youngest sister...who one day long after revealed she caught him peeking in on her too. she has her own story and it is complicated. suffice to say we are not now close and though i tried to support her there are strange effects on her that have made her a promiscuous odd sort of woman. I love her but have little to do with her.

I had children two beautiful boys fairly early and love them to death. i remember feeling uneasy about them being around my stepfather ... i thought he would only offend against girls but wasnt certain... so made my mother promise to always supervise him.. she failed and i went to my supervision only.. when i had my own daughter did the protective instinct kick in full force and i swore he would never get close to her. i have never let him meet her and she is now 9. my mother and myself are very strained but im not a horrible person and have allowed her in my life for my kids. they love her. she blames me for the abnormal relationship we have and the fact we cant come to her home... he is still there.



my oldest is 18 and has become a rebelious boy and has met up with nana and papa together now for the first time and although he knows the issues has chosen to start up a relationship with him. it crushes me. i wish i had had support and guidance and been protected when i was young. my mother should have charged him i know... i wonder if perhaps i should now... so many emotional issues.. counselling sessions...effects. i hope someone will identify with this story...as there is much more to it but if i helped anyone then that is good. we have to believe our experiences were wrong and not our fault.

I can certainly understand how you're "crushed" by your son's decision to develop a relationship with your abuser, especially after you worked so hard to ensure your son's safety from the possibility of being molested by your father. Especially when your mother already chose her sex offending husband over her daughter. Especially when your mother already enabled a sex offender to gain access to his prey. Please seek out some form of counselling in order to deal with what happened to you as a little girl, as an adult, and now as a loving mother. You didn't deserve to be mistreated, and you didn't—DON'T—deserve to be betrayed. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were, and have been. On a positive note, you DO understand that what happened to you was not your fault. That's huge, Cori, that's huge. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

a mother's heart: A mother's prayer:
by: maurice

Oh Cori: your story evokes the real question for my Why? Fathers abuse their children: Why? after all your loving, caring, valueing, cherishing, protecting your own child from the hands of this beast that your son would want to begin to want to be part of his life: He is 18 years of age rebellious but that does not answer my Q or the mystery as to the Why? You are and have been a great and good mother: ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF: Each child is unique and different as you well know: I pray and hope all three will help each other to know abuse is wrong: Those who abuse are bad people needing loads of help and yes punishment for the pain they have caused to the innocent and the vunerable: Cori: Darlene knows a woman's heart, knows a mother's love for her child; please read and seek out the counselling she suggests would be good for you: You need professional help as well as the love of your friends: You'll always do what is best for your children: You are a good mother and your children will value and resepct you for that: This maybe a difficult thing for you to do, but should you find out your son abuses after being with your molester and abuser tell on him immediately: For his own good and out of your total love for him: He may learn for himself what you shared in trust and love abiut your abusive father that he is not a good man to be hanging around: That is my prayer: Love yourself, value yourself, think positive: act positive and be positive in all you do and say: You are a good mother: Please read Darlene's comment ever so slowly and then you'll do what is right for yourself and your children:
