Child Abuse Story From That Lad

by Name Undisclosed
(Location Undisclosed)




My story: 
When I look back at my first ever smile, it was with my abuser. I said my first words to my abuser. Well, let me tell my secret. When I was 5 my mum left me and my dad.

My dad drank a lot and never had much time for me. He would go the pub and leave me with the babysitter. He was one of my dad's friends. This guy always was very nice to me, something I wasn't used to. He used to play games with me a lot.

On my sixth birthday my dad said he had to go get my present, which meant he was going to the pub. I smiled and said ok. I was glad in a way. I knew I'd get to play like I normally did with the babysitter.

This time when he came would be the day I will always remember. It started out as normal. He made me laugh and he gave me a little cake and sang me happy birthday. He made me happy. He told me he had a game for me, what was only for us, and he had made it up. We always played games so I said ok. I remember he kept saying it's just for us and he had made it up for my birthday.

He said this game would make him really happy and if I was good at it he would take me shopping and buy me something nice. I said ok and smiled, as I thought he's like my father figure, as my dad was always out drunk somewhere. Well, he told me to get on my knees, so I did. He pulled his pants down and looked down at his penis. I had never seen a big penis before and started to cry. He said don't worry. He asked me if I wanted to make him happy. I said yes. He came over and put his hand over my head and said let's see how good you are at my new game. He put his penis in my mouth. He started to pull my head towards him. I was so confused. It hurt so bad. As he pulled my head harder towards him he was moaning saying I was good at the game and he was going to treat me and if I swallow what was going in my mouth I'd win soon. After, I found out what he meant, he came in my mouth. He took me shopping like he said. All the time I thought that was the end.



I didn't know the night after my birthday he would rape me. The next night came. Dad was gone again. He said he got another game. I said I didn't like the last one. He said if I didn't like it this time we would never do it again. I smiled and so ok he says. This game is different. He took my pjs off and laid me on my belly he took all his clothes off. I started crying, saying I don't like it. He said after the game is over, if I didn't like it then he'd never do it again.

When he put himself in me I screamed so loud that he put his hand over my mouth and carried on saying it will be all over soon. When he was done, my whole body was numb. I was so upset that he put me in the bath and washed the blood and cum off me, telling me he would never do it again. He never did, but he took my childhood away. I can't forget what happened, but I wonder who abused me the most: my dad or the guy who made me so happy but so sad.

You now have the power...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

That predator took your innocence away from you when he violated you in the horrible way he did, but he did not take away your Being. And neither did your neglectful father. Forgetting what happened to you is unlikely, but you have the ability to turn pain into power. Yes, they both abused you, each in their own ways, but you can now choose to make what those terrible experiences were something of purpose, something meaningful. For example, advocating for others who are in the same situation you found yourself in; lobbying for change that will ensure the safety of vulnerable boys; opening a safe environment for boys who need a place to be cared for and nurtured while their parents are unavailable...to name just a few.

You are still plagued by the memories and emotions of what happened to you; I therefore strongly recommend some form of counselling.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

I'm going to be the winner over those two abusers
by: maurice

That Lad is one very wonderful and brave human being to tell his story on Darlene's site. Your Father and that so called friend of your father's took your beautiful innocence away from you. You were so vulnerable, so innocent, for your body to be used and abused in the most horrific act by any adult male on a child. He sure took advantage of the trust your father put in him. No child deserves to live with such pain, hurt, from such a beastly act carried out on you. Darlene as always is ever so gentle, caring and understand in her comment to you. I'm going to be the winner, I must begin slowly to build up my own self worth, self esteem and value the wonderful and true male that I am NOW. You must trust yourself to begin with, believe in yourself, I am the most important person in this whole scenario. It was not my fault, I did not want this to happen to me. I told him I did not like these so-called sick games he wanted me to play. He was a very sick individual who took away my innocence with this brutal act on my tender body. Darlene's words of understanding are your stepping stone to being free of these awful memories. Please get help from professional people, allow your closest and trusted friends be your source of new beginnings in your life. Always believe in yourself.
