Please consider some form of counselling for what this man did to you as a little girl, but also for the fact that your mother enabled the abuse to continue. She must have been aware it was going on. She owed it to you, her precious daughter, to ensure you were kept safe from harm, but she chose to continue to live with a man (and I use the term loosely) who continued to abuse you. This makes her just as responsible for the abuse as he is. As your mother, it was her job to protect you. Instead, she put you in harms way, and then did nothing to stop the harm from continuing and escalating. Counselling can help you deal with the betrayal and abandonment, as well as the memories of abuse at the hands of such a sick individual. You didn't deserve to be mistreated, Gemma. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Getting that kind of help can also help you with trust issues, and possible relationship issues. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Such uncontrolled sadism
by: Anonymous

Gemma, I can't believe that your mom would abandon you to the so-called care of that sick, sadistic monster of a stepfather and allow him to beat and berate you everyday...how dare she! If that beast didn't want to be there, he should've had the courage to leave instead of sadistically abusing you. The path that he and your mom chose is inexcusable. Too bad he died because he should've gone to prison for all those terrible crimes that he committed against you, since abusers don't stop abusing until they're made to stop. You are not to blame for his sadistic, ignorant behavior; he was (and still is, posthumously) to blame because he chose to abuse you. You were the child; he was the adult; he had all the power and only misused it over you. I really hope that you're in a safe place now and that you try counselling.
