    I am very sorry. I definitely can not find the words that could possibly describe how I feel after reading your story.


    Take care

    I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm glad to see you are strong and seemed to have not let it define you or cause you to blame yourself. Good luck going forward.

    Is your father still in prison? Do you have a relationship with him?

    I was also abused at an early age, by my Aunt and Stepmom...however it's different for boys...not as intrusive...I actually enjoyed it, not knowing how it would affect me as an adult..cuz when my daughter was 15 I touched her inappropriately and spent 4 years in prison myself...so I can see both sides of your story...sorry this happened to you...and I'm really sorry I fell into temptation myself...having been programmed by my Aunt and Step mom that it was ok to have sexual relations with family members..very sad.....

      Ofc I should've know better...and I paid the ultimate price for letting down my guard...alcohol was also involved, so I don't drink anymore...the good thing is I have a good relationship with her now...that happened in 1992...now she's 36 and a mother herself...it all turned out ok...but she felt guilty cuz I went to prison...I made sure she didn't blame herself...it was all my fault...and I accepted my punishment like a man...

      Its a good thing you had a good outcome to this and im glad she could get over it... its pretty difficult to do so depending on how long was the abuse going for.

      It only happened that one time..I was a good Dad...I'd gotten custody after I divorced her Mom....I feel that is why we were able to heal from it...I can't blame the booze...or the fact that I'd seen her naked when I caught her and her bf having sex in my living room on the last day of school....though I feel that made me realize she was sexually active...it's not an easy subject to discuss...

      I am glad you have taken responsibility for your actions and not used the circumstances to excuse them. A good man is one who makes mistakes, owns them, accepts the consequences, and commits himself to being better than he was. I would say you have proven yourself a good man. I hope I can be as good if and when the time comes.

    you should have kicked that son of a ***** in his balls and then said sorry, it was a mistake and then do it every day till his balls burst! i am damn sure if anyone touches my kid or any kid in this way i am bound to go up in rage and do the worst possible for such a man! such men need to be shot on sight and there should be pardon for every child rapist killer!

    Nobody should have to suffer that kind of abuse. He should have been punished but it would seem that those around you have closed ranks. I believe in karma and at some point he will get what's owed.

    So many stories like yours. Girls betrayed by their own mother for the benefit of some male scum. Breaks my heart. As a man, a father, and a grandfather... please allow me to apologize for what some "man" did to you.

    Ya know, I thought I had reach saturation point with this kinda thing. There are so many that just lie to seek sympothy I just became...callous...indifferent I guess. But, your story is something I can identify with cause I know it can be real. I know someone that had almost the exact same thing happen. It's terrible I know, but I don't think pity is what you need....think sweet revenge. I would.

    I agree with Ambivilent. You are a very strong person to tell a story as deep and torturous as this. All too often this happens and it sickens me that sooooooo many people in this world are abused in either this way or that. As bad as it sounds, this has and will make you a stronger person and please dont let this happen to you again. So many people sink into this abyss of abuse and ****** relationships. There is so much to say but so little time and space for the responses. Good luck and take care of yourself.

    I am so sorry that you had to experience this and I think that your a strong young woman and that you need to always remain true to yourself because he is going to have to face redemption one day. I don't think I would be able to talk to my mother or family anymore because I couldn't be around people that put a total stranger before their own blood. You can love people from a distance. I hope that one day you build the strength to tell your dad what has happened to you because at least you know he will support you regardless of the fact that he is in prison or not.

    you know that kind of person should be in jail no matter how it hurts your mom and now you have a chance to complain and go and report what he did at least if ever they will find something about him in the past it will be known that he is creep and molested you for longest time.....

    baby i know deep down the person that gets abused etc feels it's their fault, thats why they don't go to the police, if you tell your dad he may tell someone that is getting out soon and kill the step, these ****** never care about what they do cuz in his mind he got away with it, i'm going thru divorce and i worry the **** my ex is seeing(that cheated with my ex causing the divorce in 1st place) will do exactly what the step did to you, your mom is in a fairytale, if i was your mom or dad i would smash this creep, remember it wasn't anything you did! this ***** that abused you is a *****! you need to see someone to get the pain out, it will ruin any relationship you get into, you deserve to have a beautiful life, see a schycoligist, please it will help you get thru the crap you feel.

    I echo what someone said above. I wonder what the statute of limitations is on this ? Don't make any hasty decisions based on what I say ( I know you wouldn't you sound very level headed ) but has it occurred to you that there might be more victims of this guy out there ? Maybe even your sister ? Or he may be still sexually abusing someone right NOW ? Or he may do it in the future ? Man , I would want revenge, but you're safety comes first. And know that I think about it ,I would guess the statute of limitations for your case is longer than two years.

    Sorry to hear this. I think the statute of limitations on sexual assualt is 7 years. If he's assaulted you within the last 7 years I would go to the authorities. It will probably difficult to prove but preditory behavior has to be stopped. It may be difficult to prove at this point since its a "he said, she said case." Hopefully you have some proof. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I have a story too, but not sure I'm going to post it on here. It is not nearly as horrific as what you have gone through. It is still hard for me to deal with. I forgiven one of them for it. One because I believe he is sorry for what he did. At least I really hope he is. We don't talk about it, but I think he is regretful and remorseful. I know what happened has impacted my life in many ways. I have depression and anxiety problems, and I am overweight because I use food as a comfort. I have had other problems recently in my life that have caused more depression, etc. but I have recently realized that the sexual abuse I endured has really affected me more than I thought it did. Something else I have discovered recenlty, is that I refuse to let these experiences rule the rest of my life. If I let it dictate my happiness in life, then that evil has won, and I cannot let that happen. The title of your story is Letting Go. I know that is what I must do. I applaud your courage for telling your story and hope you can let it go as well. I believe you can start a new chapter in your life--a new and happy chapter. That is what I am trying to do. I hope you can too. You are a brave young woman, and I believe you can do it. :)
