Child Abuse Story From Marianna

by Marianna
(Pennsylvania, USA)




I was sexually abused from my father starting at the age of 4. I remember also, when we had to move into my fathers parents house being abused by my grandfather at a very young age. I remember him fondeling me on a day bed. Over the years I remember my father always finding a reason to punish me so he could come into my room and me wanting my dad to forgive for not turning out a light or doing the dishes as a young girl. I remember him touching me. Over the years he would touch me more and have me touch him.....I don't remember much after....when I learned as years past what he was doing was wrong, I began putting the dresser in front of my door or sweeper to prevent him from coming into my room.

When I was 16 my mother wanted me to marry to have me out of the house. I married at 16 to a teacher 7 yrs older then me. Lasted 2 yrs. I then remarried another man older then me and he abused me mentally, physically and sexually. I could not have children and learned I had scar tissue and damage in my fallopian tubes from being abused at such an early age. I married 4 times, all abusers. My first husband after the marriage ended, raped a 16 yr old student who became pregnant. He lost his teaching job. My father ended up in prison for 1 yr. because he then turned to family members. My second husband ended in divorce because of abuse which no one believed he was doing to me because his family was known in the area. He then remarried and abused her but because she had children the police were there for her. He ended up committing suicide. I could go on but it would take a book to fill in all the abuse and suffering throughout the years. But, now here I am in my 50's and happy in my own house which I work hard to keep and maintain. I could tell you more but to most it would be unbelievable so I will keep the rest to myself....
