Child Abuse Story From Meghan

by Meghan
(Location Undisclosed)

My abuse was from my step dad. He was around as long as I can remember and seemed really nice. Looking back I guess it was always going on, it just got worse when I was 11. I am now 15.

He was always too nice to me, always saying how pretty I am and always hugging and touching me too much. I remember when I was like 9 or so, my mom was at work and he was watching me. He had me sit on his lap all the time, but this time I felt his penis poking my bottom. It seemed weird but he was just talking to me about normal stuff. He would always seem to accidentally brush his hand on my butt and privates. This kind of stuff went on all the time. Sometimes he would lie next to me when he said goodnight. He always ended up dry humping me. He would then stand up and have his penis sticking straight out in his pjs.

It got worse when I was 11. I started getting my boobs and hair on my privates. One night he was doing his same rubbing thing when he started talking about how much he loves me and that I am special to him. He said he wanted to show me how special I was and make me feel good. He just suddenly stood up and pulled my covers off and pulled off my underwear. I was scared but I don't know why I did not say stop.

He started to use his mouth on my privates and kept asking if it felt good. He kept saying don't be scared you are old enough now. He did this about once a week. About the 4th time I felt like I really had to pee bad and told him. He just kept going even more and I had my first climax. I had no idea what happened at the time but now I know what orgasms are. I was so confused because I knew it was not right but it felt good. After I would feel sick and afraid that someone would find out.

This went on for about a year and then one time he came in my room at night and I just could not take it. I started crying and told him I did not want to do it anymore. He just said ok and then started telling me how much he loves me again. That was when it all stopped. Just like that. I never told him no before that and I do not know why. I feel stupid and bad that I did not say no sooner.

I am 15 now and I am scared to have a boyfriend. All of my friends do and one of them has fooled around with hers a little. I do play with myself sometimes but I always feel sick afterwards and think it is wrong.

He acts like nothing ever happened. We have a great house and nice things. I wish he never did those things, but I do not want for anyone to find out.

An orgasm during sexual assault is perfectly natural
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Meghan, what you experienced is perfectly natural. Sex DOES feel good, so even though you had an orgasm there is nothing to feel ashamed of. And just because you did climax does not mean that you weren't sexually assaulted. You WERE sexually assaulted by this man.

As for beating yourself up for not telling him to stop sooner, you aren't being fair to yourself. You forget that you were so much younger and impressionable and vulnerable; all things he took advantage of, Meghan. You are now applying more mature values on something that happened when you were a vulnerable little girl, something that went on for a long time. None of this is your fault, Meghan. None of it. You don't know that he would have stopped before he did. You only know what you know right now. So don't think in the "if I had only".

You need to talk about this with someone, otherwise it will eat you up. I suggest Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453). They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, although they can help you through the process of reporting if you decide to disclose what this man did to you. You can visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help Don't keep this to yourself any longer, Meghan. You didn't deserve to be molested. You DO deserve help now that you have been. Not to mention that you are STILL at risk by this man. He may have stopped for now, but there is no guarantee that he won't go after you again. Nice things and a nice house aren't worth being sexually molested. He's banking on the fact that you will stay quiet, because he knows you like the way you live otherwise. And Meghan, don't for one second believe that he won't molest other girls. If he hasn't already, he more than likely will. Please get some help for yourself.

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

Oh you sure are brave, well done for sharing your story
by: maurice

Now you have shared your feelings on Darlene's safe haven/place for you and all her visitors. She is truly a caring/loving person please Meghan just read her comment to you. With the help of your closest of friend (s) whom I am certain you have shared the details of what this man did to you, your climax/orgasm and how scared you were at the time. With their love and hugs of you, they will help you to tell on this man. Darlene knows when she says you are still a beautiful teenager and still very vunerable aound this man. Don't be fooled, he could try it all over again. I believe you are strong enough to tell him Get Lost, I am no longer scared not to tell on you. Please think of girls at 9 years of age and your age now and imagine he doing the same to them. Please save them from that bad and wrong experience Meghan. Darlene is very professional and knowing so do please read over her comment to you and act on her loving advice to you. Always believe in yourself.

It's ok i care for you
by: Anonymous

I understand everything thats going on for you. It's ok if you touch yourself because it's your body and you can do what your like to it but no one else can. What your mums boyfriend did was wrong and just remember that you didn't deserve it. I think that you should tell the police that your do not want to live with him any more, because thats what i would do. If you do that then things will be tough at the time but things will hopfully get better. My name is Amy and i'm 13 and i get phissically abused. I really care for you.

Take care

Bye for now

Love Amy
