Child Abuse Story From Jessica6

by Jessica
(Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA)

Abused as a Child: 
I was molested for many years as a small child, at the hands of a man that married my mom when I was 5 and adopted me when I was 6. He began molesting when I was 8 and it didn't stop till I was 12. I finally told someone at my church and they told my mother. She threw him out of the house that day, and spent the next year making sure I was ok, and that he was as far away from me as he could be. He was arrested that day, but he only served 3 months in jail...the 3 months that he was awaiting trial. Other than that, he is re-married to a woman who knows what he did, but married him anyway, even though she had 2 daughters, and then they had one together. He is a sick man and he will never be "better." But I am!

Jessica, you have a GREAT attitude!
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

I have every faith that you indeed WILL be "better." I'm delighted that your mother believed you when you told her and that she took steps to ensure you were "ok." One can only hope the woman he married will come to her senses BEFORE her sex offender of a husband molests her two daughters and his own.
