Child Abuse Story From Pam

by Pam
(Iowa, USA)




Sexual abuse and mental abuse: 
When I was 7 I went over to a neighbor's house with my parents. They had two boys, one was 13 and the other was 8. I went back to their room to play a game and the older boy sexually abused me with penetration. I didn't know what sex was, so I went to their house again . We played football in the yard and the older boy touched my crotch when I hiked the ball- then we went inside to their room and he undressed me and abused me. He had his brother climb on me after he was done. I kept going over there several times after this, and the same thing happened. This went on for around 1 year.

My dad, not knowing that this was going on became mentally abusive when I was about 10. This continued until I graduated from HS. I moved out of the house shortly after graduation. I then left the area to go to college. I tried to tell an adult about my dad being abusive but she knew my parents and shut me down before I could tell her he was abusing me. I wish I had tried someone after her but didn't.

You're telling now, and that's what really matters. If we keep beating ourselves up for what we did and didn't do as children, it's at the expense of our ability to heal now. Please consider some form of counselling in order to help you deal with the repercussions of your father's abuse and the sexual abuse you endured at the hands of those neighbours. And you WERE sexually abused by them, Pam. Just because you went back to their place does not make it your fault. Just because you didn't tell does not make it your fault. Fault lies squarely on the shoulders of the offenders. Always remember that. The woman you told turned a blind eye. Don't turn a blind eye to your Self. Get the help you need. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
