Child Abuse Story From Tamara
by Tamara
(New South Wales, Australia)
well, im not to sure how to put this, im not good at this stuff. it started when i had to stay at my dad's parents house for the night while the family went somewhere, i was only 6 or 7, i dont remember the dates or time but i remember the incident oh so well. my dad's step dad was touching me in innapropriate ways while i slept. i was so scared, i got up to go to the toilet and he had followed me and tried touching me while i was in the bathroom. i never wanted to stay there again, and i didnt tell anyone. but my parents made me stay there a few times (un-aware of what had happened) he made me sleep in his bed everytime i stayed, i remember always waking up and my pants and underwear wear always off the bed, on the other side. i eventually told my mother (via a note) one afternoon when 'nan & him' had dropped me off at home. we went to the police and i had tests and stuff done at the hospital, we had to travel around so i could see counsellors etc. then my sister (one year older then me) came forward and said he had tried touching her as well. mum was terrified, full of anger & pain. knowing someone we all trusted had did this to our family.
