Have ever been abused physically or sexually?

Question

If you are answering this question, I want you to give details. The more information, the better the story.
While writing you're story, or a boy or girl friend remember to include these details:
how long ago was it, what time, was the person related or in a marriage with you, your emotions, and what did you do to get out of this situation or tell me if you are still in this situation.
DO NOT REPLY IF THIS QUESTION IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU OR IF YOU CAN NOT HANDLE THE EMOTIONS!!!

Answer 1

Yes, sexually/physically. It started when I was three - by two cousins and an uncle, it went on for thirteen years. I did as much as I could to escape it, even running away - constantly. Recently, I went to the police (for a second time) However, the punishment given didn't fit the crime, and the cousin who abused me most, only got 5 years. I think people now a days are too scared to go to the police or report anything, because victims don't get enough support. Abusers get a couple years in prison - victims and survivors - they get a lifetime of never ending pain. I wouldn't wish the feelings they caused me to have on anyone, not even my worst enemy.
If you are in a situation where you're being hurt, please get as much help as you can...to physically get you out of the situation, and to help you with your emotions too.

Answer 2

yes, I was sexually molested by my uncle when I was younger, age 5-18 years old. my family didnt believe my until he got caught by a girlfriend, and he did some jail time. It is a painful and emotional thing to go through. It was some time ago, now I am 33, but I keep a close watch on my own 2 girls, and always believe in what they say, especially if they say someone touched them. I finally went into the navy when I turned 18 to get away from him.

Answer 3

I have been physically abused my boyfriends in the past,It began at age 17 with one of boyfriends he beat me so bad he cracked the bones under my eyes,my hands were both covered in bruises from trying to protect my face,luckily I was drunk and totally blacked out when it happened!Then on to a new bf he used to beat me with his belt,once hit me so hard in leg with the metal end and he cracked a bone,that was 7 years ago and it is still sore and red in the spot, he would always hit me in the head too with his fists and anything hard he could get his hands on such as candle holders,I felt that he loved me so much I put up with it for 2 years,when the knife came to my neck that was the last I could handle we broke up! I am so much more happier now my Husband would never raise a hand to me,and I always used to believe I deserved to with a abuser,,,crazy!!! I have trouble dealing with the past still,emotions,I never really talked to anyone about it,noone ever wants to hear of my terible times,its so hard for them to hear they say!!!

Answer 4

Never had it happen to me. But I have taught several students who went through it. My heart went out to them.Most of them was abused by a family member.

Answer 5

I'm 22 years of age. I've been abused when I was 7 years old and then at 17 years old by someone I used to love, respect and adore. This person is my mother's father, my supposedly grandfather. It happened in his house. Everytime I used to go visit, or go have a swim he used to touch me and the hardest part I'm still having a battle with to this day is that when all this was happening my mother was in the room and she said nothing. At age 18, in matric I spoke to a "teacher friend" at school, this didn't go well. She took the story and blew it out of proportion - my parents didn't believe me at first. My mother kept on asking me "Am I sure that grandfather did this to me". What am I suppose to think. From then onwards I never spoke to my parents about anything that was worrying me. I felt distraught at what he did to me. My parents arranged a meeting with him to come and apologize to me. They made me write him a letter and to accept his apology but in my heart I DON'T. I hate him. My mother especially can't come to terms with this and in some way I don't like it. My mother still wants me to greet grandfather and act like nothing has happened!

I went to work at the same school where my mother is working at present. That was in 2004, at age 20 because once I matriculated I took a year off to relax but didn't do much. When I came to work at the school I was the computer teacher. The technian there who was working on the computers got very friendly with me.

At that stage I was happy, I knew alot of teachers there because I used to attend that school when I was small which was nice, but I was also scared because I wanted to ask something or at least tell someone about what grandfather did to me. I wanted some guidance.

The months went on until this technian started abusing me in the classroom. He started having anus sex with me and I was forced to lock the classroom door. He forced himself on top of me and then he took me to his house and he RAPED me. I never told my parents because of what there reactions were to grandfather. I used to drug myself at school so I wasn't (as you can say on the planet) when this guy came to the school to do this to me.
I feel to this day ashamed, dirty, guilty and its my fault I never fought back or told anyone.

I am seeing a psychologist about both issues at present.
