Child Abuse Story From Cynthia

by Cynthia
(USA)




Always watching my back.

Always watching my back.

I am 43 yrs old and i suffered emotional,sexual and physical abuse @ the hands of my father and @ the hands of my mother;neglect.I was so young,shy and timid.I have 3 sisters,2 older and one younger.I was 12 when he started with me. . .but oh how i knew it was wrong! He would stand @ my bdrm doorway jacking off watching me sleep.Then after a while he would come by the bed bribing me,hed tell me that if i let him touch me he would let me go somewhere or do something i wanted to do.Thats when my sis taught me how to roll myblankets around me like a burrito so he couldnt get his hands down there.Shorly after that we told my mom,she threw him out and a week later he returned.So @ the young age of 13 i ran away to never ever return.Most of my childhood memories were of me being locked in a water heater closet with cockroaches and my mom laying on the other side of the door crying with me,my dad wouldnt let her get me out.I would cry myself to sleep.

I can only imagine the betrayal you felt when you mother, YOUR MOTHER, chose to let a pedophile back into the house, in essence, making you and your sister targets for further sexual abuse. Not only does the pedophile have a lot to answer for, so does your mother. It was HER actions that brought about so much more additional pain. Both their actions were, and still are, criminal. Running away at 13 years of age HAD to have led to many other challenges, and likely other issues of abuse. Please seek out some form of counselling or therapy in order to help you deal with all the repercussions of what you endured, both when you lived with your parents and afterward. You didn't deserve to be abused, Cynthia. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. The best way to watch your back now, at this time in your life, is to get the help you need. It's the most loving thing you can do for your Self. I send you love, light and positive energy. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
