Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Chelsea

I came across this website just a minute ago. I have read a couple of the other stories of sexual abuse and I made the decision to tell mine.

I am in the 9th grade right now, and I am getting counseling for my sexual abuse right. It all started when I was four years old.

My mom had a boyfriend that had a son. His son was sixteen at the time. He molested me every night for a month while I was asleep. I was too scared to tell my mom until 5 years later, but only because I wasn't in the situation anymore. I also decided to tell my mom because I felt like I should not just let it happen to anyone else, and if I could stop him from doing it again, I may find happiness. I thought for a long time that it was all my fault, and that I could have done something to prevent it from happening to me.

Now I am doing great. I still have some stuff I need to work on and I will get it.

Last of all, I would like to say something to everyone out there who has ever been sexually abused. Please, don't ever think it is your fault that you were sexually abused and don't ever lose hope!
