Child Abuse Story From T

All my life... 
I don't know if anyone here will believe me but I need someone to just listen to my story. It started with my father, a strong man who was once a body builder in his younger days and has probably spoken 20 full sentences to me in my 19 years of knowing him.

My father was always violent towards my mother and I but never my 5 older brothers. The police were often called after he hit my mother, usually while my brothers where in the gym or working.

My earliest memory of him is him beating my mother in the bathroom till she screamed, then calling me into the room to say "I LOVE YOU DAD" when I was about 4. The sight of my bloodied crying mother will stay with me forever.

His violence then turned on me at the age of six when he began beating me every day with whatever was at hand for not being good and not being born a boy. I was often covered in large bruises and cuts, which my other family members ignored.

On different occasions he has broken all my fingers with a hammer (they are all set wrong now through lack of medical attention), broken bottles on the kitchen floor and made me run back and forward across the glass and caused a broken arm and leg.

The abuse only got worse at 9 when a close uncle started to baby sit me when my dad didn't want me in the house. This man began sexually molesting me saying, "This is what love feels like." He then began raping me and inviting friends over to do the same or take pictures or video tape the events.

Then came along my uncle's friend Rob who brought with him a German Shepherd called Hero. Both Rob and my uncle forced me to perform sexual acts with the dog while being filmed.

This continued till the age of 13 when my mother split from my father and moved me into her new boyfriend Tom's house. I was sexually abused by Tom also while growing up. I moved out of that house at 17 and now have a home of my own.

I have told my mother what happed with my uncle and dad but she told me never to speak of it to anyone. I didn't bother mentioning Tom. Nobody seems to believe my story and I have spent many years in pain. I am still afraid because of the video tapes the men have might be put on the Internet. I want to be ok, but I am too afraid to speak to anyone else about it in case I am not believed again and called a liar. I hope writing this will help.

Thanks for listening.
