Child Abuse Story From Kayleen

by Kayleen
(Vermont, USA)




The man With The Evil Eyes: 
When I was 7 my mom was dating this guy, and he seemed alright in the beginning. Then he started doing things, like holding my head under pillows until I passed out then laughing about it. He would also pull my feet out from under me when I was walking.

He would sneak into my bedroom at night and make me touch him, and he would touch me. One time he even made me bleed because he tried to have intercourse with me. I remember him putting me in the bath tub and laughing about it the whole time he was washing me off. Then it got worse.

He started trying to drug me with heroin. Him and a few of his friends were sitting there shooting up when he got a brilliant idea to try and shoot me up with heroin. Luckily, one of the people that he was with told him not to, so he didn't.

He would also put me in the shower with other grown women and make us do things to each other and take pictures. He would also make me dress up in my mom's sexy clothes and take pictures and model for him. Then for the longest time I did not cry, because if I did he would start by telling me to shut up and if I didn't then he would go and grab his pistol and pull the trigger multiple times telling me that there was at least one bullet in it. So for about 6 years I never cried.

And you know what the sucky part of this is...he was never brought to justice. When my mom left him, he came back, hid in her house and when she walked in the door he kicked the crap out of her...he almost killed her...and you know what he said before he left...he smiled and said, "Oh don't worry. I will be back." The police never found him.

So still to this day I look over my shoulder hoping that he is not around every corner. I remember his name, but I will not say...for now I will just call him the Man With The Evil Eyes.

A cowardly excuse for a man...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Kayleen, good riddance to this miserable excuse for a man. Chances are, he's done himself in, or someone has done it for him. He's out of your life, so it's time to get on with the business of living that life to the fullest. If you keep looking over your shoulder, he continues to have power over you and control you. He stole your innocence, but that doesn't mean he has to be a part of you for the rest of your days. His words were more about ensuring he kept control over you and your mother than they were actual threats. He's a coward, Kayleen, and not worth another second of your thoughts.

You didn't say how old you are. If you're a minor, then I suggest you contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the abuse that is still affecting you. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. If you are now an adult, I strongly urge you to seek out some form of counselling in order to help you deal with all the fear and anxiety. You deserve that kind of help.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

You've made it! :)
by: Cassie1

You have made it. Now you have to take some more steps forward to be able to get through that fear. I strongly advise counseling. It will help with the fear, and anything else you may have. Flashbacks of sorts and all that. I commend you on sharing your story. It's a very courageous thing to do. I am sincerely glad that he is gone right now. Never think yourself wrong for being afraid and everything of him coming back. It'll be alright in time. take care!!
With much love,
Cassie1
