Child Abuse Story From Dan Part 2
by Dan
(Wisconsin, USA)
I am now an adult, and have never told this to anyone. Most of my childhood abuse I blame on my parents. (See Part 1 of Dan's child abuse story on this site.) This story takes place from the time I was 6 through my 12th year.
My parents used only two babysitters. One was Karen, a neighbor girl who was 6 years older than me. The other was Stacy, my parents' friends' daughter, who was 3 years older than me. Whenever my parents went out, it was always to a family wedding, which involved having an all-day sitter. The sitter was to make lunch, supper and give me my bath. I didn't think too much about the baths, until I turned 10. Why couldn't I give myself a bath? My parents insisted that the sitter do it.
Stacy was 15. I was 12. She would fill the bathtub, have me get in, and she would wash me with soap and her bare hands. She would insist on drying me off. She would never have my pj's in the bathroom or laid out. She would have me stand there naked while she went through my dresser, looking for them.
Once, Stacy asked my parents if her friend could come over while she was sitting for me. My parents didn't care. That night I couldn't believe that Stacy let her friend watch her give me a bath. Here I was, two girls looking at me naked. My parents never thought anything of this. They thought Stacy was the greatest.
Most of my abuse was that I was exposed in front of babysitters, cousins, aunts, uncles, and my parents' friends. It was like they didn't care what I thought. To this day, I still wonder what they were thinking. Sometimes now, I have nightmares about my past.
