Child Abuse Story From Hendrix

by Hendrix
(Maldives)

Sexually and Physically Abused: 
I am 30, married, and have two lovely sons. I count every day of my life thinking about how I grew up. Nothing seems to make me happy, even money seems to be worthless for me.

I don't remember anything other than abuse in my childhood. My dad physically abused me all the time. Whenever I saw him I felt so scared, until I married at the age of 21. My father would beat me up, even if I was hurt when I was playing.

I remember when I was playing with my cousins. One guy hurled a stone and it hit my right eye. I went running to Dad, eyes closed. I simply could not see anything, but he started beating me while my eye was bleeding. I am sorry, let me bear all those for myself, I cannot express anymore, it's just so hurting. My mom was so kind, that may be the reason why what I am today.

I remember always having desire for sex during my childhood. I always tried to experience different sexual actions. Why was I so different from other kids? Why was I trying all these? I remember I was sexually abused by different females several times, even my sisters and babysitters. Unfortunately, I tried to experience sex with male friends, female friends when I was just a KID! Can anyone tell me why I was behaving like that? Please...

I have so many incidents, but it will be too long.

Today, as an adult:

  • I don't trust others, NEVER, to take care of my kids - even my wife. I feel she might do something that I don't like.

  • I am preoccupied with sex, viewing pornography almost all the time, trying to have sex more than three or four times a day. After sex, I feel GUILT, no pleasure, not at all!

  • Totally depressed with what I have experienced in my childhood.

  • Feeling lonely and get hurt so quickly that even if a friend talks differently, I might think he is angry.

  • I feel I have no one who cares about me.

  • I hate this community, people and when I visit the place I lived, omg, I just feel so afraid.
I am from MALDIVES, but this paradise is nothing but a hell for me.

I have no one to share my stories. I simply cannot, not even with my wife. Here it is a taboo. No one will take it seriously. I am so low, though I have money, it simply does not make any sense. I have no happiness.

I am so grateful that I am able to share with others who are from most civilized societies. I hope someone will respond.

Take care, everyone. We didn't do this to ourselves. Maybe we were born at the wrong time, at the wrong place.

Cheers!

Effects of childhood sexual abuse...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Hendrix, you are not alone in your suffering. What you describe as the effects of your childhood abuse many child abuse survivors can and do relate to. I am so sorry to learn that Maldives does not take child abuse seriously enough to provide services and resources that you would find helpful. I can only hope that attitudes will change.

You asked: "... why I was behaving like that?" referring to inappropriate sexual behaviour as a child. Hendrix, when a child is sexually abused, it is very common for that child to exhibit sexualized behaviour. It's a child abuse effect, and a red flag that sexual abuse has taken place. Please read through my sexual abuse effects page on this site for more information about this. I think you'll find much of what you've experienced listed on that page.

If counselling truly isn't available to you, I sincerely hope you find some measure of support through this website.
