Child Abuse Story From Maria

by Maria
(Beaverton, Oregon, USA)




I was only 11 years old, living with my mother's parents in Oregon. My mother lived in California. I moved with my grandparents because my grandmother wanted a companion and I was her favorite grand-child at that time.

One of my mother's brothers, who was at that time 23 or 25 years old, would tell me that he "loved me like a woman, not like a niece." He would kiss me on my mouth, and stick his nasty tongue into my mouth. He tried to do this about 10 times. He would also hit me. He treated me like a woman, his woman, not a child. He would make me cook for him, take his shoes off, and prepare the shower for him. This happened for about 3 months. I couldn't take it anymore. I finally told a friend from school, and she told me to get help, so I did. I couldn't go back with my mother, because my stepdad molested me when I was 5 years old until I was 9. I went into foster care for about 7 years.

Robbed of your childhood and innocence
by: Darlene Barriere

You were forced into being a "companion" for your grandmother and a "wife" for your uncle—he sexually assaulted you—instead of being a child. You should have been playing and carefree. You should have had people around you who protected and nurtured you. Maria, you were betrayed by all the adults in your life. I hope that you had some happiness and loving care while you were in a foster home. And I hope that you are now getting some form of counselling in order to help you deal with the emotions that must be prevalent in your life today. You are worth it.
