dont force your child to do something or go somewhere with someone when they are screaming no!

mummyofbabydylanxo by mummyofbabydylanxo Talking(May 2007) (rank 148th)

this is my advice, please dont think im a slut or skank, please dont judge me this has been a hard advice to write as i have gone back in time.. but I hope it helps..

As always, I was grounded that sunday, i couldnt even go for a walk, it was such a beutiful sunny blue sky day! i begged my parents to let me go for a walk, but they firmly told me I cant till my grounding was overand was only alowwed in house and back yard. Intill at lunchtime when "he" rang up and asked if i wanted to go for a walk, my instinks said No! i did NOT want to go!! something was about to happen and i was terrified..

you see a year before we had been living in a another place and our property was connected to a flat where "he" lived. My parents were good friends with him, they trusted in him and called him a good person, he went to thir church as well.AS my parents were very protecive, I was groundeed alot! 8 months of that year..I was a fustrated, angry, teenager just wanting freedom.Thats when he would come in,he would tell my parents he will take me to go for a walk but instead take me to see a friend or my boyfriend.whenever he heard me crying would find me and comfort me and take my side,when i was angry would try calm me down and listen to me.I thought he would he was a great friend someone i could trust.We would talk for hours we would chat about everything, as I wasnt allowed out of my property it was some freedom. He then started to talk more sexuall, when i turn up for a walk in something not hot he would tell me how i look ugly in what im wearing and how would my boyfriend think when he saw me, he wouldnt want me no more.He would then tell me our walks would be sacrfices to him, that he could of done something better but he cares so will give me freedom and how he has been giving in his life and not returning,how I was very selfish of taking up someones time, he made me feel so guilty! he told me I was getting too fat and need to diet thats why my boyfriend is flirting with another girl. he talked alot about his sexuall exsperiances and put me down as someone who wouldnt know how to please.He was a photographer, and he told me i would be a beautiful model and I had talent and was very sexy,he really wanted to take photos of me. every conversation was eithersexuall or how to change me to become a better hotter person, to decieve my parents to think im doin something when i was doin a totally different thing.

He would call me when he saw my family go out and tell me to come over where he would show me stripper movies and told me how to wear something more appearling, dance more sexually, for my boyfriend and be the hottest girl around to blow his mind and so he wont cheat on me.

Things got worse, i would have him feeling my breasts as payment for getting me out of the house and would punish me by not taking me out for a walk for a week if i made a fuss.i also got photos done , it was only ment for my boyfriend and in payment he will tell my parents that i was goin for big walk with him but he would drop me off at my boyfriends and I would be able to get to see my friends and him.Those photos of me was very sexy, in dif underware, dif poses, and topless.It did not go to my b.f, it went to what I found out to a friend of his in england for a magazine.I was only 14. he kept on tellin me how he wanted to have sex with a 14 year old it was his fantacy, one day he called me over to his house and he had his privite part flopped out and told me to suck it, i was aghast he then told me I will be useless in bed and wouldnt be able to please anyone that no guy would ever want to be with me and its all my fault! we moved thank god 3 weeks afterwards to a dif place but a couple months later guesse who moved down the road...

he would ring me alot and walk past my house telling me that a stripper and a promotional person has got in touch with him and want to see me, that a friend in england wants some photos of me as well, i would hang up the phone or walk away..

back to the start.. my parents forced me to go that day. i was screaming and crying not to go. but they forced me.i got raped that day.

so please DONT FORCE YOUR CHILD TO GO SOMEWHERE WHEN THEY REALLY DO NOT WANT TO GO!!! YOU NEVER KNOW WHATS REALLY GOIN ON, MY PARENTS HAD NO IDEA INTILL I CAME OUT AND TOLD THEN 2 YEARS LATER..

PLEASE DONT BE SO OVERPROTECTED TO A TEENAGER, DONT TAKE AWAY FREEDOM LIKE A WALK, OR THEY ARE STUCK IN THE HOUSE.. IT WAS SOO HARD FOR ME AND WANTED FREEDOM AND GOT INTO A MESS AND DIDNT EVEN KNOW..

TRUST YOUR INSTINCT, IF IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING IS GONNA GO WRONG TRUST IT!

CAUSE ALL THE WAY I WALKED TO HIS HOUSE I KNEW THAT I WAS WALKING RIGHT INTO DANGER AND WAS LIKE MY DEATH SENTACE, TRUE I DIDNT DIE BUT PART OF ME DID THAT DAY...

hope it helped

thank you heaps

thanks it was hard writting it but i thought i was ready to talk about it and warn people, I did take him to court last year was the worst thing I ever been through, standing there telling every detail and his lawyer makin out im a lyer and everyone starin at me... my lawyer had dirreaha and so was cuttin alot of questions etc to some of my witnesses.. and wasnt payin attention to the dates i said and my best friend said. it was such an awful thing. he got off with no charges...

i see him around here, driving around or being in same cafe as me etc. it affects me alot, and always need a big hug from someome to tell me im safe and that all he said to me are lies.. i only dream of what happened when something brngs up a like getting used by a guy and it makes me go back in time, it has affected my relationships and to tell you the truth i ust want to be free from his still hold on my life.. thank you all for being so understanding and not judging me

dont force your child...
i was playing she is in love with you in the background as i was reading this and the song was related to your life story, and tears sprung to my eyes, and how terrible for a young person to endure such heart ache, my thoughts are with you, and i hope this guy was charged and thrown into jail for this....

dont force your child...

Absolutely right. Never ever force your child to go to someone if they don't feel comfortable or resist...no matter what thier age. By forcing a child to go to someone tha they don't want to go to, enforces the notion that they don't have control of thier own person, but an adult does. This in turn can lead to them be more susceptable to the conditioning / attack of predators.

We as adults have mostly fine tuned our "gut instinct" and will act upon that feeling. Kids have that instinct too. We as parents need to listen, observe and respond to that behaivour in a positive manner, rather than to put the child into a situation they do not wish to be in.

One of my teachers for my course last year is a child safety services manager. He spoke a lot about this subject to us. It wasn't until he actually spoke to us about it, that I conciously realised that I was already taking notice of my childs instincts..and he was only 18mo. I never force him to go to someone. I have always asked if he wanted to go to the person. I don't know, but maybe I just want my child to feel that he has the right to make a decision and that I will stand by that.

Kids need confidence in parents that will support thier instincts.

And on the whole pedophile thing, I have some really good information that I can send to anyone. It describes the predatory actions, grooming and signs to look out for. It's a real eye opener.

i know what you mean
I have had awful stuff happen in my family from me being date raped twice to my aunty being molested by her uncle and by my mums boyfriend. I was the one and only person she told and i was 6 years yonger than her.
I also a this 6th sence where so far i have been able to sence weather a person is nice. ( there has been 4 men i have refesed to be anywhere near and have done awful things) but i have learned to go with my gut feeling. I had my son in day care and he used to scream about going til i found out why. he was being bullyed and beaten up and this was at 3 years of age. i feel it is really sad that people have to hurt others.

thankyou for your story. it is hard to write these i know as i still cant talk about my rapes to people.

hugs and love to you
Liz
