Child Abuse Story From S1

When I was growing up I was raped and molested by both of my grandfathers. The one on my dad's side had been doing it since I was 5, or at least that's as far back as I can remember. And every time he messed with me I remember him giving me all the change in his pocket like I was a prostitute or something. I also remember that he was very forceful and anytime I was by myself he would find me and mess with me. So I usually tried to stick with somebody anytime I was over at their house. One time, my little brother walked in on him raping me anally and my grandfather told him that we were just playing a game and not to tell anyone and my little brother left and he kept on. I remember at one point my older brother found out and he told my parents, but I thought I was going to get into trouble so I denied anything ever happening. And then my cousin found out and he thought he would get a piece of that action and he made me play with him and he would mess with my boobs. It was awful that someone could find out and then take advantage of the situation. Eventually I started trying to stick up for myself, and my cousin finally stopped when he got a girlfriend. My grandfather still tried stuff and I began hitting him every time he came near me. He didn't care. He just let me hit him and he would still mess with me.
The one on my mom's side didn't come in the picture until I was 9 years old because I had never met him before then. I remember the first time he messed with me he told me he had a picture of Britney Spears on his computer. I wanted to see it so he took me in the room and had me sit on his lap. It was a picture of her in a topless dress and he messed with me as he showed me this picture. All I kept thinking is here we go again. This grandfather was worse. He was way more forceful and hurt me a lot. He made me watch dirty videos and look at dirty pictures. It was disgusting. Every time I was over there he would mess with me 3 or 4 times a day and then try to rape me at night, but thank god he couldn't get it up. But eventually he started getting my little brother involved, making him watch the videos too and making him do things to me. He made my little brother suck on my boobs and made us have sex. It was awful and disgusting. It made me feel so dirty.
One day I decided to tell my dad about his dad. When he was picking me up from my mom's he told me to stay out of
the back room cuz we were going to his parents' house and my mom overheard. When I got back home Sunday night she asked me what he meant by that and I told her. She started crying uncontrollably and she said that in the morning she was calling the police. I told her while she was at it she would have to call on her dad too. And she just kept saying no no no. It was really sad. I ended up telling her everything that had happened.
The next day, instead of going to school, me and my little brother went with her to my grandma's house where we told her what her ex husband had done and we called the police from there. We filled out a report and both grandfathers were taken to jail. After me and my little brother talked to the counselor at the child advocacy center, they went and arrested my dad too. My dad was in jail for 10 hours and then his mom bailed him and my grandfather out. Then came the trial and I was told that they were not going to let me testify. Because of this, both grandfathers only got 3 years. My grandma on my dad's side says it was my fault he was in jail, that all he did was get mad at me one day and push me on the couch. My aunt and a different cousin told her she was sadly mistaken, but she never apologized.
I found out that the grandfather on my dad's side had messed with both my aunts and one of my girl cousins. He had also had a girl on the church bus sit on his lap while driving and he wasn't allowed to drive the bus anymore, but they did nothing with the law on that one.
I also found out that my other grandfather on my mom's side had did that same thing to my aunt, except he was able to get it up then and actually did rape her. He was also talking about going after her daughter and he never got the chance, thank god. And he has messed with someone else and is not in jail for it because he told my aunt and she did nothing and she still talks to him to this day and didn't believe what had happened to me until he went into detail on what he did to me on the phone with her! And he now has Alzheimers bad and one of the few things he remembers is what he did to me.
