Child Abuse Story From June S

by June S
(California, USA)

Daddy's Little Girl:
I am a 48 year old female and I just found out my abuser was my Father. I am so angry, hurt and feel deceived. I have been searching for answers for years and the person was right in front of me. I have felt empty since I can remember, always seeking validation and approval. I have to find a way to forgive myself and move on. My thoughts and actions need to change and I need to find a way to take better care of myself. I am currently 120 lbs overweight this weight I've been carrying around is all the shame I have felt for all those years. I pray I shed this extra weight and release my pain.

No child should be abused, they are innocent and need to be protected. How do we do this when the abuse is in the family's home?

As a woman who used to be over 300 pounds, carrying my weight as a very visible coping skill, I can tell you that losing the weight will not release your pain. It's the other way around: When you release your pain, the weight will no longer be necessary for you to cope. It's burying your pain that keeps your weight on. You have NOTHING to feel shame about. Shame and blame is squarely on the shoulders of your abuser, the pedophile, your father. None of what he did is on you; all of it is on HIM. Your weight is about pain, not shame. Please seek out some form of counselling or therapy in order to help you deal with the effects of the sexual abuse, and deal with the betrayal that it was your own father who was the offender. Not to mention that their may well have been enablers, family members who had to have seen signs, but did nothing. June, you didn't deserve to be sexually abused. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
