I can agree mostly with 'clownpouncer' and 'rusty bones' , except no one was there that was willing to help me, including parents,(they were part of the problem). But , I worked hard, put everyone out of my life that hurt me, and made new friends, and have turned my life around. I, also, would not change my past, as it has made me who I am

Yes and yes. I was abused sexually at a very young age and then when I was a teenager. It's a horrible thing that no one should ever have to go through, but you tend to try and forget it ever happened. I never told anyone until I got engaged to my husband. It's still hard sometimes being intimate with my husband, but he's a good man and he understands. I blamed myself for it happening to me and I had a very rough life for a while because of it. I never sot professional help, but when I found that my religious faith helped a lot!! I have never told my parents for the simple fact both times where family members and still to this day I feel like no one would believe me any way. It scares me to think that those men could do it to someone else!! My Father was my mental abuse. When I was a kid growing up he would always tell my siblings and myself that we would never amount to anything and we were stupid. When he told you to do something you had better of been doing it right then or you where getting beat!! Now that I'm an adult I have forgave my Father for all he put me through. I wouldn't change my past, because it has made me the person I am today!!

No. But one of my friend's mom was. She and her mom live in an apartment with out her father now. My friend and her mother both were physically, sexually, and emotionally abused. They told the police and got a restraining order but her dad didn't stop. Well later her mother got divorsion papers and they divorsed. Her father got caught abusing other women and is now surving time in jail. But anyhow, later even after, my friend began to have nightmares, so she began to become very edgy and depressed, her mother too, so they had a councelor, and now they're doing ok. She still has nightmares every once in a while but other than that she's ok. But her mother is suffering from spinal injuries from the blows she took. Her mom is also taking anti-depressents. So becareful and stop w/e is happening now.

Years before my husband came along my previous partner was all of the above. He beat me while I was pregnant with his daughter and I had her at 25 weeks gestation. She is now a beautiful 16yr old girl and I would not trade her for the world. After I had her I picked myself up kicked his a** to the curb and swore never again would a man lay his hands on me like that.
Today I have a wonderful husband who treats me with the utmost respect and the only time he's laying his hands on me is with gentle caresses leading to you know (wink wink).
My life has been fulfilled and I am truly thankful I had the foresight to see that life can and would be good for me again.

Yes, it made me fearful, unable to trust anyone, a loner, wild, etc.....
Yes, I got help, many years later.
My parents perpetuated it.
I am still a loner and still have trouble trusting people.
