Child Abuse Story From Samantha
by Samantha
(New York, USA)
When I was four, my brother was seven. He was being sexually abused by HIS stepmother, whom he saw every other weekend. A year later, she and his father divorced and he did not see her for awhile. During the time she was absent from his life he searched for someone to make him feel like she did, but knowing that it was very secretive between them, he chose me because I already followed him everywhere when he was home.
It started when I was five. He would touch me and make me touch him. Then it escalated when I was eight years of age. He and I were at my aunt's home for the night. My cousin, who is the same age as him, called me into a room. Thinking I was safe, I went. There was another person in the room. When I arrived, I was pushed to the floor and stripped by my brother while my cousin locked the door and turned out the lights. Before I could scream, they told me that if anyone found out they would hate me forever, because this was all my fault. They told me that I was too cute and they couldn't stop! This continued for another four years, until my aunt stopped sitting me because I stole from her as a last resort: a 14k hollow gold dolphin necklace. In between this time, we went to her house after school every day with my little sister, who was not involved. Two out of three other children took part in these acts against me.
I remember one time that the oldest pushed me into a closet through a cubby to his room in the basement, where he raped me for two hours, until it was time for dinner and his mom called us. After he was done, he told me I would be killed if anyone found out.
Since the last incident with them, two years went by. I was prescribed a heavy sleep medication to get me through the night without 'night terrors' as my family calls them, where I would sit up and scream bloody murder and say things like "No!" and "Stop!" I would kick and punch people who came close to me. At one point, I bit a chunk out of my father's hand when he tried to wake me.
It is now two years later. I am eighteen. I found out six months ago that my ex-stepbrother has been sexually assaulting me when I was medicated!! I would sleep in my room in my underwear and a t-shirt!! My real brother, cousin and stepbrother are all in prison for crimes not related to me, and I am a single mother of my stepbrother's child because the idiot was not protected. I did not press charges against anyone because my mom found out about the young child rape and took me to the doctor's and the doctor found nothing!! Now it's too late and my stepbrother has everyone convinced that it was consensual!! IT WASN'T!!!!
