My stepdad started molesting me when I was 11-12, and it continued until I was 13-14. By the time I finally got the courage to tell my mom, she didn’t believe me. CPS didn’t either – there was no evidence. I live with my dad now, but my stepdad’s there every time I go to visit my mom and siblings and they get pissed if I’m not polite to him. My mom thinks I made it up because I hated him, but I only hated him for what he did, for making me feel…dirty inside? I don’t know how else to describe it. Like there’s something inherently awful about me, like I’m marked, like he’s all over me and won’t come off no matter how many times I shower. I wish I hadn’t let him.

Information for helping the victim and even for treating the perpetrator is readily available. However, I have been unable to find information for assisting the parent(s) in overcoming the traumatic experience of having their child sexually abused. How can they help their child if they can’t overcome their own trauma – feelings of guilt, symptoms of PTSD, etc. If you have any resources I would greatly appreciate them.

I caught someone with my baby, and I did not handle it correctly at all, I can not ever change it. I had a few nervous breakdowns from it. My family made me out to be crazy, and the police only questioned the person one time. This site is bringing us healing, ThankYou so very much!

I feel like I am fighting such an uphill battle, like it is almost pointless at times. I have put my allegiance with my child from the moment she told me, but sometimes it seems like nobody is listening, like nobody cares. At least here I know I am not alone and that I am doing the right thing. Thank you to the person that is maintaining this, you have no idea what you have done for me and my lil one.
