Re: my tearful childhood

Hi sweetie, thankyou for sharing your story with us, it takes a lot to open up and bare your soul. My heart goes out to you, but i think there comes a time when you need to let it all out and start to heal. Physical and mental abuse, leaves scars for the rest of your life, i so hope for you that the memories and hurt have deminished as much as possible.

It is a honour to be your friend.

Love Janice

Re: my tearful childhood

Wow, words fail me here!!! Being a mother myself I cannot understand how people could put a 'partner' before their child. You say you went to the police, was your step-father charged? I truly hope so. I am glad you survived all this and I hope you have found the happiness you truly deserve. I really hope you work things out with your sister.

Re: my tearful childhood
i think that when somthing like that happens to u u get stronger and when u have children it make u a better perent not saying that its a good thing well put it this way it happen to me when i was six by my uncle for two year nearly ever night becouse mum was working nightshifts but when i told my mum she believed me becouse it happened to her by her own brother and she is the greatest mum i now not just saying that becouse shes my mum but u now what i mean. if it wasnt for her i would be dead and that why i want to be a good mother to my kids my little prince jack and the one in my belly. ems u now if u need to toke im here the best way to get throught it is to chat to some one about it

Courage
The greatest thing that you did was to walk out. I think when the victim has the courage to say NO and moves to change things, it seems to give them a better chance in life.  I too said No to my abuser and I think that I am much stronger for it. I agree with blackwidowkate in that your Mum needs pity. I just don't understand why people cannot believe their own children. I hope that you have healed your scars and been able to put it behind you.

so brave
its nice to read other peoples struggles and know shit im not the only one. (not saying your story is nice)

my heart goes out to you sweety. i too had my dad taken away but i was a baby and was lucky that i could still see him. i did have to have someone with me at all times as someone said me dad was a peadifile (he isnt).

I am so glad that you have found happyness and hope that your new life with your partner, child and dad is nothing but bliss

so brave
I am so glad you have now found the happiness you deserve. It is heartbreaking that you have had to endure this. I wish you all the best into the future. I believe that they will get what they deserve too. So glad you are back in contact with your dad.

I recently did a course called protective behaviours. I believe it should be taught in all schools. The sooner this silence is broken, the better. All our children need to be protected and unfortunately it isn't from stranger danger. In most cases sexual abuse is occuring in our own homes. We need this message out so if anyone has a chance to do this course please take it up. I had to do it through my work. Very eye opening.

Don't hate her
Hi
I have learned Don't hate her it only eats you up and destroys your life.
Pity her for the fact she had a disease and couldn't or wouldn't protect her children
Feel sorry for her for what she will miss out on all her life knowing her daughter thinks nothing of her.
Then take what you learned and empower yourself with it to be the best mum you can be for your children
Hugs
Luv Deb

Wow, you are a special girl!
When you look at yourself in the mirror, you must be so proud of who you are, and how you have turned your life around.  She not only kept your dad out of your life, she didn't protect you, care for you or keep you safe, her and that creep Bob deserve each other.  You are very brave to share this, and I hope that your sister can turn out to be safe and start a new life like you did.

Best wishes.

A big hug for you
I am so sorry you have had to endure that
I can't bear to hear stories like this especially when the mum has done nothing to protect the child either
You have obviously a great inner strength to have come this far
Keep that strength and keep fighting for your sister
