Child Abuse Story From Melody

by Melody
(Chicago, Illinois, USA)

Sex all the Time: 
When I turn 10 I started developing my breasts and my butt. My stepdad always looked at me in a wrong way. On my 12th B-day he invited his friends over. I had to go to the bathroom. When I came out, one of his friends grabbed my mouth so I couldn't scream. They brought me upstairs and laid me on my bed. One by one they raped me. It was painful, and I was really scared.

Now that I am 14, I am still scared. Til this day, I have flashbacks. Right now I am living with my foster parent. I happy where I am at.

Note from Darlene:
I am currently working on creating e-books which will provide my visitors access to specific and relevant child abuse information more readily. As this project will require a great deal of time and focus, I regret that I can no longer continue the practice of offering comments on all submissions. Please do not take my lack of response to your story personally; I mean no disrespect, nor is it intended as an invalidation of what you have endured. Indeed, I am honoured that you have chosen to post what has happened to you on my site. Whenever time permits, I will endeavour to provide supportive and validating replies. I hope you and my other visitors will continue to offer words of support and encouragement to the many contributors who have courageously shared of themselves through this site. I thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
