Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Aneta
by Aneta
I never thought I would be that person to say that I've been abused. I was abused by a man that I trusted. He was my neighbor. He had a kid and a wife. It made me worry if he was doing things to his son. I never really knew what was considered abuse. I thought you actually had to have some guy have sex with you for it to be considered sexual abuse. But I realized the way he was touching me that things could have gotten worse if I did not not stop them. I was always in denial. I was 12 when that happened and it took me a year to accept it happened and than I went to the police. I had my best friend by my side and I knew that if I let him get away with it, he could get away with doing things to other kids. I'm 16 now, and doing better. Of course we all have those hard days. I know I do. But reading inspirational stories on this site keeps me going.
