Child Abuse Story From Kristyn

by Kristyn
(Location Undisclosed)




I was sexually abused by my father and brother as a child. It all started when my mother passed away. I was 10 years old at the time. My dad started coming into my room every night and touching me inappropriately. I remember trying to resist his touches but he would always beat me up if I did that. I lost my virginity to my father at the age of 13 and somehow I think he got addicted because he did it to me almost daily. What's scary is that he would not rape me before I'd say yes. He'd always beat me up until I'd say yes. Sometimes he even ordered me to beg for sex. Not long after that I learned to obey and do everything he wanted me to do. I never resist him anymore (now that i feel really really guilty about it). He would often bring his "friends" home who paid him money so that they could have sex with me. My brother knew what was going on and would always cheer me up. I trusted him. One day he came into my room and saw my dad raping me. I thought he was going to save me but he joined the act instead. I was really depressed and didn't know what to do, I felt like a sex toy. The abuse went on until I was 21 and moved out of the house. Until now I equate sex with pain, and I am always uncomfortable when men come near me. Yes, things are getting better and better in my life, but I just can't forget these horrible memories and have been feeling guilty until now.

Let me be clear, you have nothing NOTHING to feel guilt or shame for. You were forced to say and do horrific things under threat of physical harm. That does not mean you consented. Always remember that, Kristyn. You did not consent. What you did what what you had to in order to survive. The shame and blame lies squarely on the shoulders of your father and all the men (and I use the term loosely, since real men would never do such despicable acts) who sexually assaulted you. And while your brother likely learned the behaviour from your father, he is still a sex offender. In all likelihood, all of them are still offending others. That's why it's so important to report what they did to you. There are very likely other victims. And just for the record, none of these child rapists had sex "with" you; they "raped" you. As a result, it's understandable that you have difficulty trusting men. Trying to forget the memories will not work. Circumventing what happened to you will not work; it will only serve to bury your emotions which in turn will adversely affect every aspect of your life. Please seek out some form of counselling in order to help you deal with what you endured, as well your unfounded guilty feelings. You didn't deserve to be sexually abused, Kristyn. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Such uncontrolled sadism
by: Anonymous

Kristyn, I can't believe that your mom would abandon you to the so-called care of that sick monster of a father and allow him to beat, offend and berate you 24/7...how dare she! Where was she all that time? Her job was to protect you from that sadistic beast! If that pervert didn't want to be there, then he should've had the courage to give you up for adoption instead of sadistically abusing and raping you. The path that he and even your brother chose is inexcusable. Oh, and did I mention that he also abused your brother by grooming him to offend you as well? That slimy dirtbag should be in prison with his slimy friends together for all those terrible crimes that he committed against you because you did nothing wrong. You are not to blame for his sadistic, disgusting behavior; he is to blame because he chose to abuse and offend you. You were the child; he was the adult; he had all the power and only misused it over you. Oh, and I'm glad that you're in a safe place now; I just hope that you try counselling and that you look into reporting that sad, tragic excuse of a man and his dirty, slimy friends and then throwing them into prison because, remember, abusers don't stop abusing until they're made to stop.
