Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Anonymous
by Anonymous
(Indiana, USA)
Abused and am recovering the horror:
I was sexually abused from age 5 to 15 by many. From 5 to 10 was our pastor's son. It all started out with games and him talking me into doing things to him to. He used God against me, and made me believe lies that I know now are not true. That is how he was able to get me to do things to him, and him doing things to me. This story can be so long, but I am making it brief.
I am also a survivor of Physical abuse from my mom, principals, teachers, and pastor. I was in a Christian school growing up (so-called Christian school). The abuse that went on there is horrifying.
From ages 13 to 15 I was abused by different boys. I used to think it was my fault. I never realized it was abuse until I started counseling.
Counseling was my best decision ever. I used to be so ashamed of my past and disgusted with me. I am now seeing that it is not me who was the disgusting one, it was them. I always felt inside I am not worth anything. Now I am seeing that I am, little by little. I used to think that God hated me and that he thought I was such a dirty nasty person. I'm not...he loves me. My healing has come a long way, and I am still healing, but I am doing so much better now. I am thankful for my counselor.
I want to tell everyone out there that has been abused that it is not your fault. Also, to get into some kind of counseling. Don't wait until you're 29, like I did. Start as early as possible. It is scary, all that we as abuse survivors have to go through. You can do it!!!!
