 Understandable anger...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

I'm delighted you've started counselling Elisabeth, for your sake and for the sake of your children and your marriage. Speaking from experience, it will be grueling, but it will also be so worthwhile as you move through the process. And just for the record, your stepfather raped you each and every time. You didn't let him; he manipulated and controlled you, as well as your sister. As for your mother, she has a lot to answer for. But at this point, just focus on yourself. Always remember, the best gift you can give to your children is to take really good care of their mother. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

 Your stepdad was out of control
by: Anonymous

Elisabeth, your stepdad has lots of problems, and he, alongside your mother, really needs help. As for your mother, she should've protected you from his anger issues, so she is just as responsible as he really is. i'm glad that you tried counselling because you are worth the help that you deserve. I wish you all the best!

 Healing...
by: Anonymous

You have every right to hate him. All I can tell is even I am a sexual abuse victim and I am still trying to get out of everything. I am in the healing process too. Its painfull and bumpy but its worth travelling. Finally you will be left with a life where you wont be scared of anything esp anyone. Try to reach out to your husband. Telling someone helps a lot. I know its not easy to tell someone something which has been left behind for so long. but as i told you its a long road and you will reach the end faster with better help. Reach out for more people and try to be in a healthy environment. Dont ever meet your parents if you dont want to. I know you might be angry for this but please dont show your frustration on your kids. That thing will hurt you even more later in your life, Try to be away from kids when you are voilent and frustrated. Anyways I will wish a very speedy recovery. I myself am recovering. Lets wish ourselves a happy life ahead.

 There is goodness and greatness in you
by: maurice

You are just beginning to realize this Elizabeth. I was 33 when it all came together for me. You'll be the winner Elizabeth. You have two beautiful children and there father to walk with and love. Begin loving yourself so you can share it out to your children and husband. Then out to your closest of friends who are your support too on your journey back to reality about all that happened to you. Another Step Father. I cringe, I get angry, I just want to beat the living daylights out of them all for what they have done to you and so many other similiar children who found themselves at their mercy and control. Their partners including your mother have an awful lot to answer for. Again I don't want to brand all Step Fathers with the same brush. But sadly I have known alot of them who have abused. Elizabeth be safe, continue with your counselling Your the best.
