 For goodness sake, you were a child; NONE of this is on you...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Sumi, you were sexually assaulted by this man. He was the adult; you were the child. He DID rape you if he used ANYTHING to penetrate you, including his fingers. Don't ever think this was your fault, because it wasn't.

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

 Not Your Fault!
by: Rita

Oh sweetie, please you must know this was never your fault! As an abused child myself at age 5 my brother who was then 15 had me perform oral sex on him. In some weird and crazy way they make you believe its okay. Your were an innocent child who was taking advantage of. then your grow up to be an adult and realize this is not normal behavior, but never was this your fault! He took your innocence away and i hate that for you!

 You were just a baby, it wasn't your fault.
by: Anonymous

You were just a kid! He knew what he did was wrong and you did not. There is no reason to feel ashamed. You did NOTHING wrong at all! And even if he didn't go VERY far (still way too far though) that still messes with your emotions.

 Why have you jumped back into my thoughts???
by: maurice

Sumi, My prayer for you is that you are loving yourself, getting all the love and help you need after sharing your story with Darlene and her caring visitors. As you can see by reading our comments we want all that is the best to give you peace of mind about what you did ever so innocently at the time. Darlene has told you it was sexual abuse by him on you. Read my previous caring/loving thoughts to you. I hope you are moving on in your life. Looking in that Mirror and building up your Self Esteem, saying positive things to yourself about that wonderful and beautiful body of yours. Only you can make it beautiful NOW. to erase the not so nice things you did ever so innocently thoughts about your body at that time. It was not your fault, don't blame yourself. At 21 I am certain you have grown and matured into a lovely woman in your own right. Live well, laugh alot, love much Sumi. Read darlene's words to you and take them on board they will do you a power of good.

From Darlene: Maurice, the reason you received notification on Sumi's story is because another person left a comment for her and because you had opted in to receive notification of other comments that visitors leave on this story. As you know, comments don't go live until after I've read and approved them. So when you receive a notification in your email and you don't see a new comment after clicking onto the link that takes you to the page, it's either because I haven't yet been able to read and publish it, or because it was inappropriate and I deleted it. This is true of all stories, commentaries, articles, etc. on my site that uses this particular module. Hope this clears things up.

 grateful thank you sure it was great to say hi again
by: maurice

I value your comment and explanation Darlene, Thank you, sure it was great to say hi to Sumi in the hope healing is taking place. Yes, I have been aware no story arrives without your stewardship of it. That is what I value most when I read your comment. I have never replied to a story unless I see your comment at the end of it. That is what makes your site a safe haven for us all.

 Innocent
by: Anonymous

You were 8, a child, and totally innocent. He was an adult and knew what he was doing. You have nothing to be ashamed of. He could have and probably should have been sent to jail for what he did to you.
