Child Abuse Story From Emotional Wreck

by Emotional Wreck
(Location Undisclosed)




I was abused by both my brothers as a young child, but I highly doubt they were aware that the other also abused me. I don't quite remember when it started but I may have been as young as 6. They would come into my room at night or at any time in the day if no one was around and play with my privates, lay on my bed and then eventually lay on top of me and pleasure themselves. They are more than 10 years older than me. Fortunately for me they did not insert their penises inside my little frame but they would still ejaculate on me. This happened on a regular basis and I'm very ashamed to say that although I just laid there I began to enjoy the attention and the pleasure from these encounters and would not be angry if and when they did come.

I was and still am a shy person so they had no worries that I would say anything. This went on till my teenage years. One brother stopped when I was around 11 and the other continued to take advantage of me til I was around 14, until I had began to resent him for still coming to me even though he was married. So I told him to stop or if he came in my room I would tell him to go away or not to touch me which I really wish I had the guts to do many years ago. I later learned that he just couldn't help himself as I saw that he would hug my friends too tightly or touch there bums, etc. So until recently I would refuse to talk to him on the phone and would give him cold small talk when they would visit. But recently I have tried to forgive as he doesn't seem right in the head and I feel he needs help. But anyway, his wife has recently given birth to a beautiful daughter which I should have been happy about but it makes me cry every time I think about the fact he has unlimited access to her and I think I still have time til she reaches around 4 til he starts to think about touching her but thinking about it, he is so nasty. I wouldn't put it past him that he has already started.

Shortly before her birth I learnt that my sister had shared the same sentiment and was also not pleased he was having a girl. Then she eventually forced it out of me that I was abused and was shocked to hear that my innocent childhood wasn't so innocent. She had told me that he had tried it with her but she had fought him off. But told me that he had also touched up one of our cousins and some of my sister's friends. She then referred to him as a paedophile which really burst my bubble that he just made a mistake with me. My brother is a paedophile and I'm still too scared and ashamed to tell my boyfriend, my family or my bros wife so that she can protect her daughter. I'm scared to ruin his life and break their marriage. My sister said she will threaten both brothers (my other brother has a daughter but is less perverse and I have some faith that he wouldn't touch her) and say if they touch their daughters she will tell the whole family what they are about, but hasn't yet. I feel helpless and scared for my nieces and I'm just relying on having a talk with them when they are around 7 to find out if they are being abused too. I hate what this has done to me emotionally. I look after a child and can't help but think about what a sick person would do to him. I would never touch him like that but it comes into my head that I could if I was sick like my bros. I'm even scared to clean him sometimes wondering if I've wiped him too many times and end up not bathing him properly just so I can be at peace with myself. I hate my brothers because I know I'm even going to have them thoughts when I have my own kids, and be very paranoid about who comes near them. Even their own father. I don't want this to ruin my life. But most of all, I don't want my nieces to go through the same thing.



My boyfriend doesn't know about this but he says I show signs of dysfunction and believes it's because of my absent father. I can't bring myself to tell him coz don't want him to know how dysfunctional my family is. I'm so ashamed of them. I know it could be worse but I have no pride in my family. Sorry for the long story.

Choosing NOT to act is putting your nieces in harm's way...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

I understand your fears, but you absolutely MUST tell someone. Sex offenders do not change their ways unless and until someone steps up and discloses so that they can be stopped! My god, you and your sister have the power to prevent your precious innocent helpless nieces, yet you are both choosing to ignore the very real danger they are in. You DON'T have until she is 4...and to wait until the age of 7 to actually ask if she's been abused...you're thinking is very mixed up. They have likely already been molested. Act NOW in order to spare them what you, and so many others, have been through. Spare your neices more of what they've likely already been through. Please, get yourself some help. Talk to a counsellor about what the abuse has done to you and your ability to think clearly. When you find out that your nieces HAVE been sexually assaulted by their fathers, you will have to live with the knowledge that you could have prevented it, but chose—yes, CHOSE—not to. How will you tell your little nieces that Aunty knew but wouldn't do anything to stop it? By not reporting what your brothers did to you and others, you and your sister are enabling more sexual abuse. Please, think about that. Make what happened to you mean something: TELL! Telling may well help you not be such an emotional wreck. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

If I was abused then My first instict (is) should be to safeguard others
by: maurice

Emotional Wreck that you will stay if you with the help of your sister don't tell on your brothers and what they did to you both. They abused you both. they knew what they were doing. don't you fool yoursefl for one minute that they were ignorant you are fooling yourself. Darlene has given you very forceful words of reality for you and your sister to make sense of. Maybe you want your niece to go through what you went though. I am certain you don't so get off your bottom and get real and trusting of yourself firstly, then then next closest one to you that you can trust. who may not neccessary be your boyfriend. he is could be only a passing trust fot the moment. so get a FRIEND outside of him maybe in your family. with yourself and your sister you both are old enough and big enough to make your niece safe from child abusers and molesters. I can, I will, I must their are innocent children little girls out there that my brothers could ruin if I don't speak up. speak to a counsellor about it, then you will be getting help for yourself and your sister. Healing for you both begins today only iof you really heed what darlene wrote to you. let darlene and her visitors know if you cared enough to tell someone.

its okay...
by: christina

you know, i do understand where you are coming from, but you do have to tell someone, and if you dont, it will eat you up inside, and eventually make you a person that you dont want to be, i am 23 and it has been nearly 15 years since my child abuse, but i still to this day, am so angry, i have a bad bad temper, i am scared that every man i see in the mall, public, any where i work, anywhere i shop, the men in church----everybody, is a child molester....it will eat you up hun if you dont tell anyone, but do it when you are ready, you dont need to be forced to do anything else anymore, the time will come, and you will know, and when it does you will feel free.....
