Child Abuse Story From Name Undisclosed19

by Name Undisclosed
(Location Undisclosed)




The worst thing that could happen and it ruined my childhood: 
I was 7 and my uncle had just moved to my new house with us. I never expected it to come from him. He was my uncle, my family. I loved him as a family should love each other. I didn't think he would be so stupid and do that. Well, the first year everything was great...but when I turned 8 everything started getting weird. He would touch and force me to have sex with him. It was awful. Everything could have gone better.

When he would babysit me, he would molest me, and sometimes at night I wouldn't get enough sleep, I would be woken up just to abuse. He was a nasty sick person.

He even did it to me on Christmas, and that was the nastiest thing ever. I walked into my room because I had just spilled something on my pants, and there he grabbed me and started trying to kiss me. I pulled away but he wouldn't stop.

When I was 10 he moved away to my grandma's, and I started getting depressed. I was afraid if my parents found out what would happen...I hated that feeling.

I didn't wanna go to school. I missed so much school I even almost had to go to court. I always had a stomach ache and a head ache, and I never felt like talking. I just sorta wanted to die. But luckily I met my best friend, and everything had a shine to it again...I got through everything...and on February 8, 2009 I finally got the nerve to tell my parents...I felt like my life was falling apart...but now I go to therapy EVERY Wednesday and I'm doing good :)



I seriously recommend telling someone...if you're reading this and you are being or have been abused and haven't told, please do it...everything will be okay...I promise. Nothing bad will happen and you will be happy again...some people go their whole life without telling and live a depressed and sad life...don't be one of them. Live your life to the fullest <3 Don't give up...stay strong :)

TELL SOMEONE!!!

 You've written an exceptional message...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

You must be SO very proud of yourself for having the courage to tell; I'm certainly proud of you, and you can bet that my visitors are as well. What your uncle did to you ruined your childhood, but it doesn't have to ruin YOU. You, my dear, are very special; don't lose sight of that.

I'm delighted that your parents believed you and made sure that your well-being was taken care of by getting you into therapy. Therapy was instrumental in my healing process. I believe it can be for yours as well. So I hope you continue with it.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me. Through you and your story, other child abuse victims may see and understand what they must do in order to help themselves.

And to my other visitors: When you tell, it won't necessarily be okay for a while. In fact, it may seem that nothing will ever be okay again. But eventually things will get better. Always remember that you are worthy of love and dignity and respect. If someone in your life is treating you otherwise, tell an adult who can help you, and keep telling until you get the help you need. You are too worthy and special NOT to.

Era go on hug and cuddle that beautiful body and feel good. It ain't a silly thing to be asked to or a silly thing to do. You are truly someone very special in your own right undisclosed 19.
