Freedom

by James and David
(Location Undisclosed)

My name is James, my brother is David. We were abused from our father from the ages of me being 5-8 and David 3-6.

Physical abuse
Mental abuse
Sexual abuse
Diagnosed with Severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

My Mom fought for us time and time again, every 6 months to be exact. Law ethics, are very tricky...You have social workers that don't give a damn about a child, let alone about David and myself.

My brother and I were abused in every fashion that you could think of for 3 years, I have seen people murdered, their brains blown out in the front yard. I have seen my father being threatened with his brains being blown out; then when the Alpha male saw me, he turned around and walked away. My life was spared that day. The outcome though I was beaten physically, because my father was embarrassed of me seeing these turn of events.

My brother and I were told that my Mom was dead, to try and weaken us, we were physically chained to a toilet bowl, we weren't worthy of using the toilet, had to use a pan in the kitchen to go to the bathroom.

There is so much more.

What you both endured is beyond what most can even fathom. You are now free from the abuse, though still coping with the effects. If it feels safe to do so, please feel free to share more. I send you both love, light and healing energy. Thank you, James and David, for sharing what you have shared with my visitors and me.

It is the feelings that are distructive
by: Art

First thing you need to know is you did absolutely nothing to cause your father to abuse you. Second thing is sex of every kind at some point feels good even if you hate what is happening to you.

These two parts of sexual abuse cause more problems with how victims feel. Many of them spend years trying to discover what they did to bring their parent to forcing themselves on their own child. You did nothing other then be under their control.

Every victim faces the most damaging problem. Why when they hated everything that happened at some point they had a feeling of pleasure and they hated that feeling more than the event itself. Just about every person in the world will have sex in their life experience and it usually has positive and warm feelings involved. The visualization withing the brain, body fluids and everyone's nervous system stimulate the intensity of the feelings. If there were no feelings in the process there would be far fewer children in the world.

You cannot change what happened to you but you can break the pattern with your own children. Believe what they tell you and encourage them by not punishing for what they say period.
