Child Abuse Story From Courtney P

by Courtney P
(Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada)

When I was 8 years old my mom was living with her boyfriend, me and my brother. One day my mom left for a few days and left me and my brother with her boyfriend and his friend. My mom's boyfriend's friend took my room and made me sleep with my mom's boyfriend, where he raped me. I didn't tell anyone for about a week. I finally told my mom. I was taken to a hospital, then to court. My mom's ex-boyfriend only got a slap on the wrist. Now he lost his job and he's not allowed out of Canada.

So glad you told!

You did so well by telling your mother. Thank goodness she believed you!

Beyond that, it was your mother's responsibility to ensure your safety. She should never have left you with her boyfriend. She needs to be held accountable and has to answer for that.

Whatever consequences were doled out to the ex, he deserved it. It's not your responsibility that he lost his job and that he cannot leave Canada. He's a criminal for raping a child; he deserves to be treated as one. Don't for one second blame yourself or feel sorry for him; he certainly didn't think about what was going to happen to you when he was raping you.

I sincerely hope you are taking steps toward healing, perhaps through some form of counselling, Courtney.
