Child Abuse Story From Name Undisclosed

by Name Undisclosed
(New Mexico, USA)

My HORROR: 
I lay in bed in a small trailer thinking about the next day at school, waiting for my mommy to get home. Man she works so hard. Two jobs trying support my brothers and me. I hear someone come in. I am laying there with my eyes closed because I am supposed too be asleep. Waiting for a few minutes. Mommy never kisses me goodnight. Instead, I feel a huge hand cover my face and say SSHHH!!!! Don't say a word. I know this voice. Deep, sharp and crisp. He hurt me. There were other times too. He gets up and says if I say other things he will hurt my mommy. My mommy who works so hard and loves me and my big brothers.

Here I am 30 years later, and have told my counselors of many but, I can never tell my mommy. She is old now and has been hurt by my brothers' lives they have led. Not having the life she should have had. I am the only one who makes her happy. My children, all daughters, three of them, they are her prides and joy. I will never tell. But, I won. He didn't hurt my mommy. Yes, he hurt me but, he lived a miserable life all by himself. Lonely. He finally killed himself. HAHA on him.

Through the eyes of the child
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

You believe you "protected" your mother—indeed, you continue to "protect" her—but the price was one you should never have had to pay; that price was too high. I hope you will continue with counselling.

Not Right.
by: Linda

I am sorry that pathetic Pedifile sexually abused you. But I have to disagree about not informing you mother of his actions. You unintentionally protected him from the cold, hard, cell in prison he so richly deserved. I am a mother also, I would want my daughter to tell me of that kind of abuse. I'm sure your mother would have throwed that bum in jail, if she knew. She sounds like a great mom, to work so many jobs to care for her children. He probably couldn't live with his evil guilt and took a coward's way out and killed himself. Oh Well! I wish you well and hope you can overcome this and have a happy life.
