Child Abuse Story From Kerry

by Kerry
(Texas, USA)




I was probably around 14 or 15 and I was sharing a bed with my aunt when she came to sleepover at my parent's house. In the middle of the night my aunt assumed I was asleep and started laying my leg between her legs. At that point I woke up but pretended I was asleep and thought it was just a body spasm I had on my part and my legs just ended between her legs. I stayed awake for ten minutes trying to fall back to sleep. My aunt then took my leg and started rubbing it forcefully back and force on her vulva. I guess she was sexually aroused by it and still at that time she assumed I was still in a deep sleep. However I was awake through this whole ordeal. My leg hurt with pain because of the way it was bent for her to let it stroke her private parts. I woke up the next day and rubbed my legs with soap until it was red because I was so disgusted and confused. From time to time I think about that night but it never really affected me. I am now a junior in college and I wondered why such a person I called my aunt would do that and I know if i speak up on it now no one will believe me so I've kept it to myself. I still don't know if what my aunt did is considered sexual abuse.

What your aunt did was sexual, and you did not consent. Depending on your aunt's age, it could have been sexual child abuse; at the very least, it was sexual assault. You stated that your aunt's act that night has not affected you, yet you've written your story here. I suggest the despicable act has had more of an impact on you than you realize, and therefore recommend you seek out some form of counselling in order to help you deal with this and put it into perspective. Perhaps your college has counsellors you can turn to. And don't think about whether or not others will believe you; the fact is, women do sexually assault. It's a myth that they don't. So right now it's more important to you that you deal with whatever repercussions you are now facing. Always remember that you have no shame to bear or blame to carry. That's all on HER, not you. You didn't deserve to be abused/assaulted. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. I send you love, light and healing energy, Kerry. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
