How it all started

Growing up in a household where my parents were always working, it didn't leave much space for a child to be a child. I was constantly pushed back and forth to relatives houses whenever the summer vacations came round and that's how it all started.

I remember staying at this farm when I was 5 years, my parents thought it wasn't safe to leave a 5 year old girl with her elder brothers so they decided instead it would be better at a relative home (boy were they ever wrong. On the farm, my uncle had a helper, I don't recall his name, nor do I care to know it. He decided all on his own that it would be a great idea for us to role play of what a mummy and daddy would do (and I mean everything....)I recall there were numerous occasions where I had sexual intercourse with this young man, some of which I remember telling him that I didn't want to do it and he insisted that I did, as an unhappy daddy would get very angry. To this day I can still remember the taste of his lips on mine and the smell of him.

I have never seen or heard of this young man ever again and I don't care too as I am afraid that I may do something that will just do no good.

The plot thickens from herein out, at the age of 7 I was again faced with the quandary of summer vacations once more and this time I was sent to another relatives home (boy I tell you, the decisions my parents thought were good!!!!)

This time, the abuser was my elder cousin, he made me perform oral sex on him and he did likewise to me, all the while my aunt and other cousins were in the other room and no one knew what was going on. Off course through out all this, I was instructed to never say a word....

After that, it was as though a veil was put across my memories and I had put everything to the back of my mind, waiting, just to be released at the right moment like a torpedo. My memories were dormant until I was approximately 12 years or so and like Celine Dions song "Its coming back to me now" I tell you did it ever come back to me. This is where it all went downhill from therein out.

Just imagine you awoke one morning and you have this memory that feels like one bad dream.....

I'm very sorry for everything you have been through but about waking up and having this memory and its just a bad dream i know exactly were your coming from i used to wake up screaming until i was put on meds thank god but i still don't sleep well i just don't have night terrors anymore. i was raped by my elder cousin from the time i was 8 until i was about 12 almost everyday for 4 years he made me do the most horrendous things oral sex, intercourse, anal sex and top it all off he got me pregnant at 12 lost the baby thank god but still i still have to see him occasionally and it scares me anything that every happened with the case was the cops said it was natural and kids explore well its not really kids when i'm 8 and hes 12 but ok so nothing really was done on top of that been raped by two of my 2 of my exes because one was mad i wouldn't sleep with him and the other was mad i moved and didn't sleep with him before got pregnant with both of them and lost the babies and it killed me to think about all i could was that i killed my kids but it really wasn't about them the fact that there fathers were complete scum and i guess god didn't want them in the world knowing that but to this day i fear running into either of them so i know were your coming from.

There isn't a day that goes by where its not in my thoughts, don't you just wish you could get a pill that will make you forget everything and start afresh. I would call that the miracle pill :yahoo:

Am sorry to hear about your story, it kills me to know that there are creeps out there and knowing what we have been through the likely hood of encountering more scum is a very high possibility.

Am sorry about your little ones that you have lost, but maybe in some twisted distorted sort of way that may have been a good thing, as the pain of their existence may have been much more to bare than it is now.

Such is the life that we are subjected to in our journey.
oh yes i wish there was a miracle pill out there that would just make it all go away and yes the fact that we may encounter more scum is a big possibility i find my self moving away from guys just because no matter how hard i try and for get everything i have been through just being with a guy kind of scares me it doesn't matter how many guys i have been with or tried to be with in the end i for some reason end up breaking up with them for some reason i'm not happy with them or something and every guy i have ever been with has hurt me my whole life doesn't matter who the guy in my life is if its my dad or uncle someone i have always been hurt by guys think why i find myself more attracted to girls now more than i ever have been before i just want to be happy with someone for once
"Happiness" I wonder if I will ever achieve that, no matter how much I strive in life am still not happy, I have a successful career and am still unhappy, its like something is missing, a part of me, its probably the childhood that was stolen from me that has held me back for so many years and eluding my happiness.
