Abuse - If You Have Been Assaulted or Raped...Kathryn Patricelli, MA Updated: Dec 15th 2005 - Don't do anything to clean yourself or your environment until you and your environment have been examined by the police and you have been examined by a doctor! You'll destroy evidence if you do any cleaning or rearranging.
- Call the police first thing and report your assault. Get them to document what has happened to you. You can also report the assault later on, if you aren't comfortable doing so first thing. It is best to do it sooner rather than later, if you can manage, however.
- Go to the hospital as soon as you possibly can and tell them you have been assaulted. If you have been raped, ask them to do a rape examination. If you think you may have been drugged (e.g., with Rohypnol), ask them to test your urine. Don't bathe, brush your teeth or do anything to change your condition no matter how bad you look. The idea is that the doctors will be able to document the damage you've sustained, and collect any evidence that may be present (such as semen/cum or hair) that could be used against your attacker in a court of law. Doctors will also be able to treat you for any injuries you may have sustained, and counsel you regarding the possibilities of pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted disease.
- As soon as possible, document what has happened to you in your own words.
- Get to a safe place and stay there. If you can't get to a safe place, try to make where you are safer by asking someone safe to come and stay with you for a while.
- Know that it wasn't your fault that you were assaulted.
- Understand that you can expect to be shaken up for weeks or months after the assault. It takes time to heal from rape and assault. Allow yourself the time you will need to heal. Also know that it's never too late to call. Many assault victims don't realize that they would benefit from help until long after the assault has occurred.
- Rape and assault can be psychologically traumatizing, and posttraumatic stress disorder is a possibility. If you find that you are not recovering from the rape or assault, seek professional mental health care for PTSD.

When I was about 5 my older cousin who was around 14 told me to follow himto my room.There he touched me in those wierd places. I didn't understand about sex or sexual abuse so I thought that it was fun. We preceded over 2 years to almost full sexual intercourse. When my family moved I learned what it was my cousin and I'd done at my new school.
I blocked out almost half of my life from then on not wanting to remember all the times me and him felt good. I'm starting to remember those memories after a class on rape. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help? raped by my step dad and forced to keep it a secret til now - heather - Jan 30th 2010
Well I was just starting the 6th grade and thats when the abuse began. It all statred when he would force himself into the bathroom while I was taking a shower. He would always wait until my mom was either sleeping or gone. Then he would start grabbing my butt and hugging me inappropriately. One night I was in my room getting ready to go to bed he came in my room. I had just layed down and the next thing I know he laid right behind me and started fondling me. I told him to stop but he wouldnt. He told me that I was being a baby and that I was weird. He finally left and I cried myself to sleep that night. I didnt tell my mom bc I knew she wouldnt believe me.
Later that month we moved and my mom was working all of the time. Thats when it started again. He would wait until my mom was gone and force me to go in his room. He would literally drag me in the room or he would bust in my door if I tried to lock it. He would hold me down and try to perform oral on me. I always fought him off and when I did he would tell me that nobody liked me and that my mom hates me and if I told her she wouldnt believe me. I went through middle school wanting to kill myself. I had no comfidence. We moved back to our home town and thats when he started raping me. It would happen everyday it seemed like. He would tell my mom some bull crap story to get me in trouble where I couldnt go anywhere. So he would rape me. I finally worked up the nerve to tell my mom 2 years later that he was raping me. She was shocked and crying and I thought she was goint to leave him. But she didnt. She stayed with him and made me promise not to tell anyone. She is still with him. Later on I find out that he was doing my sister the same way. The bad thing is my mom is hpv positive and here recently I had a blood test done and now Im hpv positive. Im finally going to speak up and press charges against him. Dont be afraid to tell. I was and now Im paying for it. He will pay for what he has done to me. I hope that the rest of you do the same thing. my dad - ryan manaton - Jan 29th 2010
my dad has abused me by pinning me against the wall i'm sorry - gina - Jan 15th 2010
I'm sorry that this happened to all of u that u were subjected 2 such trauma. I was raped by my ex & he is an alcoholic. I am still very upset about this angry, everything. I have flashbacks of the assault. I am being forgiving enough 2 have him go to a program that will cure him of his problem. I just want 2 get into a stable situation 4 me & my niece & nephew. I know there mother will protect them. But she has a horrible temper as well & talks indecently in front of the children. they have fights in front of the children. i believe. I know they have flaws & need 2 work on themselves. The children do not need 2 b subjected or witness any of the abuse & disrespect from these 2 towards eachother. I know that I have every right 2 b righteously angry over what has happened & insistant that he get help or I will file court documents & take the kids, the money everything temporarily. God Bless Our Minds and spirits. - - Jan 5th 2010
I'm sorry. I've read alot of these, and I'm crying now, but all I can do is pray. My mother has always been abused (raped) since she was a little girl, and later on by other men, and even just a few months ago, and I was drunk, in my room....why didn't she call out, was it my fault because, I didn't go to check on her like I always do? I'm so sorry mommy. oct 14 2009 - Gladi - Jan 1st 2010

Hi, this is one of the first times I have ever talked about this. When I was 15 my mom, my brother and I went to go live at her new boyfriends house. They havent been dating for very long, a couple of months at most. Two weeks later my brother had moved out. I wanted her new boyfriend to like me so I thought hugging and stuff was normal. A few weeks later he told me he would pick me up from work, even though I lived 5 minutes away. I was having a really good day, I got in his truck it was around 10pm. He didnt take me home, instead we were driving out of town. I remember he grabbed on to my hand and I didnt know how to act. All of a sudden he pulled over and he pushed the middle seat down and came over to my side of the truck. I kept asking what are you doing and he would say i want to show you what guys would do to you. It was horrible, hes a pretty big guy around 6 foot 4 and im really little and half the time i cant even open a bottle. He undid my pants and my bra and held down my hands so i couldnt move. I was crying and screaming for him to stop. Eventually I got a hold of my hand and tried to push him away. Lucky for me, he realized what he was doing was wrong and stopped. He went back to his side of the truck, and drove away. I always think that i should of done more, like tried to get out but my mind just froze and completely shut down. I couldnt move or do anything. The whole way back home I cried. We pulled in the drive way I went downstairs to bed and cried myself to sleep. The next morning I went upstairs and talked to my mom when she got home. I told her what he did to me and i was hoping that she would pack up our stuff and we would leave but instead she told me that she had to go back to work. I spent the day hiding in my room with the door locked, I didnt know what else to do because I wasnt talking to my dad at the time because my mom made me believe that he was a bad guy. When my mom came back from work, her and troy sat me down and they told me not to tell anyone of what happened and if i did i would be in so much trouble. I was 15, very unsecure of myself, i felt like i didnt have anywhere else to go so i kept my mouth shut for my mom out of some kind of twisted love. Days, months and years after that she would catch me in my room crying and would say "i cant believe your still on that get over it." the worst part of it all was i had live with that guy for four years wondering if and when he would do it again. I was so scared and when I told my manager about it a few weeks after it happened, they sat me down and called me a selfish bitch. They made me believe that it was all my fault and i was a terrible person. We had a rape presentation in grade 12 and everyone was laughing, i started to cry and had to leave in the middle of it. I put on my happy face for so long and the worst part of it was, i started talking to my dad again and everytime he would ask me if her boyfriend was good to me and for my mom everytime i said yes. Before my grad, her boyfriend went to go give me a hug and i took a step back. That was the point when i realized that what they had done to me was not ok and nothing was my fault. My dad, my brother and i went for a trip to quebec in july. I packed my suitcase for a week and a half. On that trip i decided that enough was enough and i broke down and told my dad and my brother. My dad was so pissed and heartbroken. I called my mom and i told her that i had told him. On the day of my flight back, she called me and told me that i was not allowed to go back home. Its now October and im still living out of my suitcase at my dads. No one should ever have to keep a secret like that its a terrible thing to go through. Ive realized now that no matter what happens in this world there is always someone out there i can talk to. I lived for 4 years in pain and with a guy who i was extremly scared of. Although it has been four years im still scared that one day i will get raped again. I keep a certain distance away from guys and i stay away from the whole bar scene. My mom still does not understand what she and her ex did was wrong. Now she is dating this new guy and i met him the other day. I went there just to pick up my stuff and he was on the couch. He got up to give me a hug and i backed away and went to the lobby downstairs to get out. My mom chased after me asking me why i was being so rude and she called me selfish. I hope this story inspires someone to tell the truth because no one should ever have to go and keep a secret like that, i had a very low self esteem and cried myself to sleep many nights. I felt like i was a horrible terrible person and what had happened to me was all my fault. Its not, i realize that people who abuse others are emotionally insecure and so unhappy that they have to make others miserable. Thanks so much, I hope this helps others like it helped me.

was 4 when my mother started dating a man she knew was sexually turned on by me.She would get me out of bed and put me in the bath then dry me off as he watched. She married this man and he sexually harassed and upon occasion molested me until I was 16.
I told my brother who was three years older than I when I was ten, asking him for help. He started molesting me and invited his friends to do so as well.
My biological father was in and out of my life and never touched me but mentally abused me and at times I would catch him looking at me inappropriately.
Life was what I made of it though and for quite a few years I made it GREAT! I was happy, doing everything and anything I wanted and indulged myself in simple ways like I only like the top of a muffin so I would feed the rest to the birds, same with frosting on cake or eating salads with lots of full fat dressing, whole milk... Going for a six mile run but doing ten because it felt to good to stop, learning things I wished I could do but didn't know how like surfing, snowboarding, windsurfing, tennise, saving pennies to travel lived is several states east, west and pacific.... Then
I was 32 and had moved to a new state because of a degree program, little less then a year I was out with a group of friends and drank enough I was going to have to sleep some off before I could drive home and some others had the same problem so one of the men in the group who lived walking distance away invited those who wanted to stay at his house… two others and myself took him up on his offer. The next morning I was the last to get up and he decided not to let me leave. For a few days he fed me drugs and took what he wanted from me…. I became very ill at one point and knew I was in a life or death situation so I plotted my escape successfully but he woke up the second the front door closed and came after me. I was already outside in a public area so I guess he didn’t know what to do exactly as I was crawling down the street so he followed me and at times would try to pull me down dark ally or into a sacluded are and made it look like he was helping me when people where close enough…. I would cry out but he would make gestures to people indicating I was drunk and/or crazy, no one helped. As I went along I kould feel myself fade out I would talk to him and at some point some how convinced him I would never say anything and if he would just take me to the hospital --security cameras would pick it up and even if I did say something he would have proof on film he helped me and who would believe me when the evidence was to the contrairy in black and white. It worked. Both ways. He carried me a few blocks to an ER,as well as them not believe me when I told them what had happened. The doctors asked me during my hysterics if I was intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, I said no not having fully absorbed parts of my current event and when the labs came back the Dr.’s yelled at me with such venom telling me I was a liar and I could cost them there medical licenses and get the hospital in trouble, called me a junkie and debated about if I would get treatment or not… At some point I passed out from the pain and the trauma and woke up to an even worse nightmare.
I was in so much pain but they wouldn’t help me because of the drugs in my system I guess and probably didn’t believe me so I tried to escape from the hospital but was not successful…. It took them two days of me screaming and crying, calling for the police or for them to just kill me it was so bad…. I’d had many scraps on my body and blisters on my feet (they thought one of the blisters on my little toe was an injections sight for drugs) something got infected, the infection moved into my blood stream, they ended up doing emergency exploratory surgery after which I was diagnosed with septic shock and a flesh eating bacterial infection, told my option was amputation with a rather low chance of living or I would die within a day or so. I chose death and wouldn’t sign the papers. They deemed me mentally unfit to make medical decisions for myself and then they took what they did. Apparently I died. A few times. I woke up with tubes going straight into my arms up to my heart (not to be confused with the also present IV) I was still in pain like you never knew existed. I was in a private room off of the ICU for a couple of weeks. When I was more stable they put me in the general ICU and I was assigned a private trauma RN who was very nice and I thought the worst was over. Do I need to say the RN was male? He treated me like I was precious, he said I was a living angle because how else could I have lived though everything I have? He also started giving me extra medication because he was “sympathetic” to how much pain I was in and technically he wasn’t doing anything wrong, I was beyond grateful until bed baths became his “intimate” exploration of my body and what he could get away with, he never wore gloves, he would put his fingers inside my vagina to make sure my catheter was clean, he put his mouth on top of my vagina and pant hot breath as he covered my breasts with his hands… I keept my eyes closed, I didn’t yell. I didn’t do or say a thing to anyone. He was in control of my pain and I was going to pay the price for relief.
I had never used drugs, I was obsessed with being active and healthy and took excellent care of my body because it was the only thing I could do for myself over the years after I left home. I am ashamed to say I was even a bit judgmental about people who used street drugs and even medication because I had studied medicine both western and eastern and I was convinced, save some ailments, most health issues could be delt with through strict exercise and diet…. Now I know otherwise. When your body hurts, screams in agony, everyday all day, all night, never ends… you will do anything to make it stop. In my case it never stopped it just became sufferable for short periods of time. After several surgeries I was put into isolation and not to be touched, moved, bothered in any way to give my body a fighting chance at healing and take to the transplanted muscles, veins, tissue, skin….. On the third day my special RN showed up off the clock to check in on me. I was off his floor and out of his care but he said he was emotionally invested in my health and wanted to make sure I was being treated well. He brought me gifts and toiletries. He said he knew how much I hated not having a bath so he was going to take care of me and had cleared it with the floor nurses. I declined and knew if he did what he wanted it would put my new parts in peril so I started to panic. He was quick though prepping my bed, moving my call button, assured me he wouldn’t move me an inch. For extra incentive he brought a stash of drugs from his home. A bottle of liquid codeine cough syrup, and two bottles of pills one oxy the other morphine all with the labels pealed off so I wondered if he was steeling from patients or the hospital directly but that’s besides the point. Again, I declined; like it or not I was going to live and if I was going to suffer through addressing my situations I wanted all the body parts to stay intact as much as possible. He became impatient and pissed off and sexually assaulted me minuses the grouping and kissing and touching --this was all about control and ego. Me freezing cold, naked, wet head to toe, moved this way and that felt like forever until he’d was good and ready to change the saturated sheets, dry me off and cover me back up, on his way out with a I’ll check on you again soon.
I had wet bandages – a treatment to help the healing and need to be changed religiously every few hours. By the next morning my newly created parts started to turn black. With out being to graphic it looked like areas had been sprinkled with pepper. Called narcotizing which just means it’s dying tissue.
I spent the next three months watching parts of me die. So now not only did I suffer from the emanate loss I had to watch and overcome the loss of what was taken from other parts of my body, most of a forearm, muscles from my back, skin from both thighs. This is a crazy long post. I don’t think I would go on and on like this. I’m sure it won’t be read through and feel like I'm being morbid way… If someone read this it would probably scare them or make them queasy so it is yucky sending it into a public arena….. What to do.
Well it’s been two years ago now and more had happened but I tired of writing and I think it is sufficiently over done. I do think I will post again to get the last two years out compleating the story. It’s not as gruesome but crazy as crazy can get… everything from first being taken in by a family claming to be charitable caring Christians (as I needed care and was still confined to a bed)ended up being meth dealers/addicts, to being homeless living in the back of an SUV, being continuously approached and propositioned-- sex for money, sex for a place to live, to a friend stepping in and turning out to be a sex addict and a sociopath. Thanks for the space to put this out. Sorry if it’s a hard read as well as poorly written it just started flowing out and I’m not going to edit or I will have second thoughts about posting.
I wish all well and assure everyone who is suffering, feeling alone, desperatly needing someone to car, I have so much love in my heart I give it to all of you, as much as you want, as much as you need.My biggest problem to date is I have nobody to love and my heart is so full it actually feels like it’s going to burst. I give freely and ask for nothing in return so talk to me. I'm not saying I can solve or save. I will only care, be concerned, and love i am a caregiver - anaymous - Sep 19th 2009
I am a caregiver for the elderly and mentally ill patients in a hospital in the mental health unit. I am currently helping an elderly lady who was raped repeatedley by her dad. She suffers from both bi and unipolar as a result. The woman is a nervous wreck and I am trying to help her. She tells me time and again she is worthless and she is suicidal. I am posting this to make everyone aware that rape and incest is not sex; It is violence and dishearting. I hope people get what they deserve in life when they commit acts of violence, rape, incest and the like. Why did he have to do this to me? - - Sep 14th 2009
when I was little. I went over my uncles house. & he told me it was bath time. & He told me to take my clothes off downstairs. So I took my clothes off downstairs then he strapped me to a ironing board & proceded to rape me. Then he told me not to tell anyone. But my mom came to pick me up. As soon as I got in the car I started balling my eyes out. & I told her. I am 15 know. But I still think about it. I want to go visit him & see how strong I am but Im afraid that once I see him I will cry. But I want to be strong. I ask myself everyday why did he do this to me? His own felish in blood. Lost Childhood - Jean - Jul 30th 2009
I am a victim of incest .I was very small when it first happened around three or four I can remember some of what happened,but I can not remember who did it.Since that first time I was a victim of incest till I was 15 ,mostly because I thought it was normal and I thought it made me feel loved.I can't get past it I am 40 years old with grown children and I still can't get past what happened to me.All I remember about the first time it happened was the person ( an uncle I think) sat my on the bottom of the bed and made me put his penis in my mouth.I can remember riding in the car with my parents and having to sit on one of my uncles lap,and he would sit there in the backseat and talk to my dad while he had his hands down my pants.The older I get the harder it is to live with what happened to me as a child. cant remmember. - alexandra - Jul 23rd 2009
hi everyone,
i was molested by my own brother at a young age and didnt remmember till now that im 16 i remmember little pieces and its killing me inside!I just cant seem to remmember anything and its scary to think that i might have split personalitys.What i have been through has made me a very angry person inside and has led me to do stupid things such as cutting myself and more. Anyways, i was also abused by my father when i was much younger but not in that way, i mean he hit me and never spoke to me again.A long time after that i seeked love in my fathers father wich i hadnt seen in a very long time !And when i finally did i started to visit him daily until one day he tried to rape me.So i never saw him again i didnt press charges because hes old and i felt bad this was more then enough to make me go crazy again!About a year after wich is now,after i noticed something strange wich i rather not talk about i tried to remmember my childhood days with my father when we were very close to each other and noticed that i really dont remmember anything at all.But i all i know is that for a long time i felt somekind of way about my father i always ignored the feeling because allthough he acts as if im not there i still love him.So i refused to trust my feelings.BUt all i know is that when i think of my childhood days with my father i feel fear and pain!I changed so much. im not the sweet girl that i once was! Im so different and it sucks bad!When i was molested by my brother at such a young age i threw it so deep in my mind that for so many years i had forgotten and i thought that it would never affect me. But everything did affect me deeply but it also made me stronger ;a survivor! I wish no one had to go through this. was i or was i not? - little girl - Jun 28th 2009
ok so my question is this. if there is a 5 year old girl that had a 10 year old cousin, and this cousin of hers tells her that is natural for cousins to kiss and for him to touch her and have sex with her so pretty much brainwasher her and tells her not to tell anyone, and the 5 year old girl didn't know right from wrong at that time. then the time came he had told her to take her clothes of and she says no and he talks her into it and when they have sex more then one time is it normal for the young girl to feel pleasure through everything he has done to her for two whole years.My question is would this be considered rape? yes or no? and if so why? Glad I'm not alone - Stephanie - Jun 16th 2009
I'm glad I'm not the only one who is uncomfortable hearing people talk about sex, rape, etc. I dislike seeing sex portrayed on T.V and film, and hearing people talk about it in real life, as though it's great or no big deal. I feel like an outsider, as though a lot of people don't understand what it feels like to be assaulted.
To the person who was moved to another class- I bet you were moved to another class because your teacher thought that he/she was scaring you, talking about safety, that it was their fault for upsetting you; They were trying to make you feel better and thought that giving you another teacher would work. They didn't know you'd been assaulted. This page is really reassuring - - Apr 18th 2009
hi, i wrote the comment on june 26th 2008 and have just revisited this page for the first time since the 27th. I'm now 13 and recently whenever people talk about sex or even say the word "rape" i have to try really hard not to flinch. Having read some of the other comments I see that other people have had similar problems. I'm not sure how but this is reassuring, I'm now a lot stronger but still avoid dangerous situations (like leaving a room when only me and my cousin are there).I suppose what I really want to say is that this page has been a real comfort to me, so thank you. i don't know why the hell guys do that - AKs - Apr 1st 2009

Well I have come across this page looking for help and advice. I am 25 years old and last night I was drugged either at a bar or after pary. I am not sure. I went to a bar for an event and didnt drink much but i met a guy that was very persestant to talk to me I was with friends and felt aquard about being alone with him but he siad it was very rude in his culture to not take and invite and he said he had blown off two other girls to talk to me so I obliged his offer to have a drink. I then told him i had to leave to meet friends to get a ride home. But he was very persistant about having me go to an after party and he said he wanted me to meet his friends i said no again so i went to leave and get into a taxi and he came up to me and said just for a drink and ill put you in a taxi. So i finally said ok wish I hadnt at this point i was in my sinces. But we finally got to his house The only reason i went is he knew my boss and many other of my friends so i thought it would be ok. But we got to his house but no one was there. He showed me around and I had 2 drinks I was still fine and said i needed to get home it was getting late then his friends showed up so i decited to stay for just a little bit but next thing i know things got hazy I was not drunk I had not kissed the guy or wanted to I was just being nice. Well I vagely remember getting up the stairs and i layed down on a bed I could kind of here a girl and guys voice but i couldnt move. Next thing I remember was being pulled up and vomiting uncontrolably. I never get sick from drinking! I them woke up again with out my boots on and the guy that wanted me so badly to come hang out with him was yelling at me to get out of his house yelling he didnt drug me and there was a girl sitting with him but he was yelling and angry and really scarry. I told them i needed a cab i had to leave the girl offered to take me home but i just want to get out of there I then woke up again to them yelling the taxi was there i grabbed my shoes and ran out the door. I got calls nonstopp from both the girl and the guy and I just didnt answer I just couldnt stop crying..... I dont know what happened last night and the guy is very influencial and has a lot of pull in this city. I dont know if i should go get checked if its to late but all i know is I feel like something is wrong the girl text me today asking how my hang over was and she said she was with me all night and i was ok but i dont know if i believe her. I have been so sick all day and scared I wish i could remember what happened. I was raped when I was fifteen and now all those vonrability are coming back i have just tried to sleep to not think about it but I wake up sweating and scared its 5 am and i cant sleep im writing if this tells you anything. Any advice? Cause i feel guilty for not following my gut and just going home and Im scared he could have raped me but if he didnt and wasnt the one that drugged me he is so hight up Im afraid he would do God only knows what..... Well sorry this was long just cant sleep and some how this is calming. And to all of you I am so sorry It has been 10 years for me and i still have night mares I get scared of men I have intamacy issues and no followed by commitment issues. My attacker died 5 years ago and he was a close friend that I felt so guilty and I was found naked in a bathroom at a party with condom wrappers all around me that i thought it had to have been my fauly even though i sure some one had to have heard me screaming. Well i didnt want to be the school slut so i convinced my self it was my fault and actually dated him for 2 years. Crazy huh his funeral i cried so hard not sure if it was closure or hurt. It had been that long since I had actually let my self feel any thing. Well Im not sure how to end other then I wish you all closure safty and relief of your pain. now its all coming back - - Mar 10th 2009

this is somwhat a weird twist..it was last saturday--my coworkers and I went to out drinking. I would say that i was somwhat impaired..but moreso than anything, just incredibly sleepy. one of my coworkers (a girl) invited me to her place, where she lived with her boyfriend(who also came out with us). ...i was phasing in and out of consciousness and before I knew it was involved in a sexually compromising situation with the two of them. at that time, i wasnt fighting it (not sure I could), and perhaps i was even enjoying it(please dont think im a freak)..and the next morning i didnt really over-analyze the situation..but now..3 days later..i realized..yes, i indeed was raped. i didnt give complete consent. ..i cant tell anyone this story because i feel so irresponsible for a) drinking too much b) going over to their place! i feel like such a moron because i feel l set up the situation. i dont know what to do. im lost. im confused. im scared. i feel violated. i havent been to the doctor. help assaulted - broken kitten - Jan 14th 2009

When I was a young boy of 6 my neighbour who was around eleven had me and another boy who was 4 or so "play a game". The game involved kissing his penis and him putting his penis in our anus. The "game" went on for a few months. I was ashamed. It felt pelasureable but I felt it was wrong. My mother was not emotionally available and my father was gone, I did not have anyone to tell. As I grew older I dismissed it as children being curious, but when ever I thought about it I would get a tightening in my chest and throat. i was sexually assaulted by my cousin - danielle - Nov 8th 2008
it started when i was 13. i am now 14. he would come into my room when i was asleep and touch me. He tried to take my bra off, but that was when i was waking up. for a second i was to stund to say anything, then i asked him what in the hell was he doing. he said he was trying to wake me up. i let that one go, because i was like hey he is your cousin he wouldn't do that to you, but i was wrong. one night me and my sister was in my aunts and his bedroom, he wanted to watch a porn video i really did not want to i thought it was nasty as hell. that morning i woke up to find his hand in my pants. i didn't say anything, because first off i was to shocked and scared to say anything. my head was aslo inside the covers, and that is how he thought i was asleep. about a couple of minuites later he replaced his hands with his penis. about that time my sister was waking up. i was so relieved that she woke up, because if she didn't he would finish what he started. he basically attacked and almost raped me. the after shock was so hard. that morning i went to my room, and shedded the tears that i kept hiding from every one else. i have really big trust issues. i also shake sometimes when another guy toches me. i don't go out anymore, because i alinate almost every one around me. i have only told to people. it is really hard to cope with. i feel if i get a boyfriend that they would try to take advantage of me. i have never had a boyfriend before. if any one who has gone through this. i know that you don't like pity, but just hold on. also there was this man that was about the same age as my dad, and he was my grandmothers boyfriend. me and my sister had very stange vibes from him. one day he asked if me and my sister wanted to go to the lake with him, and we asked our grandmother and she said that if something happened to us, we may lie about it. that was when i questioned her about if she ever thought if he would do that, and she said the reason why he would't, is because he would get in trouble, and i asked in my head do you honestly think that it would matter if he got caught or not! got raped - chantelle - Nov 3rd 2008

Tell someone because you all need to surround yourselves with friends, family or someone who cares and whom you trust in. I am a good man in a bad place. email me if you need to talk to someone because if i am ever given a greater role in this world i do care and would be someone who fights for you to be in a better place they hurt me - - Oct 21st 2008

When I was in third grade my what I called "boyfriend" and his brother made me suck his dick... I was so scared and I kept telling them no. His older brother then took out a knife and told me he was going to stab me over adn over again if I didn't do what they said. I ended up having to do it and they beat me up around the school after it happened. I was so afraid to tell anyone because I felt like I was the bad person. I am going on 16 and To this day only some know about this experience... Just recently I have been assulted on the streets of my home town. A couple of guys were standing on the edge of the railroad tracks talking about me as I walked by. Then one of them crabbed me and hit me in the face... I got away but still to this day I have nightmares of what happened. I am afraid to walk by myself anymore. This was the most fucked up thing and I hope no one else has to be put through something like this. I know - - Sep 29th 2008

I was raped when I was 4 yrs old. This was when I was still in Africa. In africa they have no justice for such things. I was rapped by a house boy at my grandmothers house.Later on, I was moved to my aunts house, and I was rapped by my cousin. This time I was about 5 or 6. My mother was in the united states, and I was at the mercy of people I did not know. When I was about 8 my mother decied to send for me. She had married a white man here. She was also pregnant. When she gave birth to my baby sister, she left for africa to show the baby to my grandmother. I was left behind with my younger brother and stepfather. While my mother was away, he started forcing me to take showers with him, and he would try to grope me. I was afraid every day. Fortunatly I discovered a neighbor kid and thats where I spent most of my nights. When my mother came back, I told her, and she didnt even try to talk to me. I wrote the event down in my journal, and one of her friends found it and read it. when she confronted my mother, my mother sd I was just a little kid with a sick perverted mind about her husband. I feel betrayed and alone. I have a boyfirend and iam 21 now and I cant even perform sometimes. I feel used and dirty. I am trying to overcme it, but its hard. re: - - Jun 27th 2008

I need to tell someone and I can't bear to actually say it to anyone. When me and my cousin were little he'd bully me and try to touch me and kiss me. Although we were both around the same age (6) I had asthma and bad allergys and was generally quite weak whereas he was hyper and sporty so whenever I tried to stop him or push him away he would over-power me. We would often get into fights provoked by me trying to fight back against him, I had sharp nails so most of my family supposed that I was the one who started the fights. Then one day he asked me to go upstairs with him (we were at our nans house where we both spent a lot of time) I knew how his perverted mind worked and refused. He dragged me up the stairs and onto the box room bed. He said something about wanting to practise sex, I tried to get up but he pushed me down again and took off his trousers. (Since then I've tried to change this memory so that I walk out at this point, but that isn't what happened.) I was wearing a dress, he told me to take it off and when I refused he grappled at my hands and pulled it up. He then took off his boxers and tried to make my take my pants off. This time I wouldn't let him and somehow something within him let me keep them on. The rest is pretty blurred (from years of me trying to forget) but I remember him pushing himself against my pants again and again. I can't remember how it ended but I remember when I got home that night sitting on my mums lap crying and her saying something about "if he tries this again" yet as I recall this I still feel anger that she didn't do anything. I'm now 12 and although a few days ago my cousin did try to grope me I have more stamina now and was able to pull him back. I could deal with all this had I not just found out through MSN that my cousin told his friend what he did, I don't know how much he knows all he said was that "your secret's safe with me" and "i know about the time you had sex when you were younger". I've spent half my life trying to forget about everything and it's like it's all just been shoved back in my face. What do I do?

I am a guy and was raped when I was 17 years old & Now I am 36. I know how hard it is that you do not want too tell anybody about being raped & abuse, & it's even harder too tell your family about it. For me I have just recently told my sister, I did'nt know how she would take it or believe me. I was surprised that she has been so supported . But I still can't tell my mum, so my sister is going to tell her. What I am saying do not leave it for along time until you tell your family like I did, Tell them straight away you will find that they will support you. my boy friend was raped - loops - May 31st 2008

I just want to say that i know what everyones going through i've been there myself i just want to express how sorry i am, I was sexually abused and raped by my older brother and his best mate from the age of 9-12 now i'm 20,married and have a six month old daughter, i wanted a way to escape what i was feeling i blamed myself, my abusers told me that i asked for it so i got what i aksed for and i believed them, i tried to commit suicide about four times once i tried to hang myself when that didn't work i found away to free myself from the pain i was feeling i started to cut myself i found it relieved the pain i was going through, i re-live the abuse every day through nightmares and flashbacks i hate it i'd just like to be free from it all but that isn't possible i still self-harm as a way of releasing the pain i feel. sometimes i feel so disconnected from the world and i often feel so alone. i got raped - - Feb 13th 2008
i was 7 years old and ths 11 year old boy raped me. I feel so ashamed... - Rachel - Jan 3rd 2008
From the age of 5 - 10, i was mentally, physically and sexually abused by my uncle. My mam and dad would go on holiday every three months for two weeks at a time. For those two weeks I was tortured; put in a garage for hours at a time, made to have baths with freezing/boiling hot water, suffocated, nearly drowned, raped over and over again and made to do things to him. He once broke three of my ribbs and he told the hostital I fell down the stairs, he broke my little finger and I can't straighten it, he beat me with his belt, told me I was ugly - that I deserved it all. I have nightmares and re-live what happened everyday. I hate myself so much, I cut myself and I can't help it and I get really jumpy and scared sometimes. A few months ago I tried to kill myself with paracetamol. I am 16 now and I am so ashamed of my past. I hate my life so much, all I can ask myself is - what did I do wrong to deserve it? I can't even cry - is that a bad thing? I feel so detached from everything. What am I supposed to do to forget? aFrAid - xxbabi_fac3xx - Dec 5th 2007
When i was 8 years old i was raped by the one guy who i thought loved me. He was like my older brother and itrusted him, but one day he came to me and told me to wrestle with him. He touched me everywhere and did things to me that i'll never get over. I'm dating right now and i'm so afraid of the fact that he'll do the same thing to me. I really don't know what to do cause i know that i can trust him, but i'm so scared. The sick thing is that he made me have sex with so many other people. I was 8 and didn't know, but i can't stop blaming myself for. It has really ruined my life, and i just am so sorry for everyone who had to go throught that. Luckily it DEFINITELY made me stronger and i hope that it will do the same for everyone else. I'ts just the fear of your bf(s) that is ruining my life rape by my cousin - - Dec 1st 2007

And i was in a gaze and he put music on and we started dancing just for fun i thought but then he started sliding his hands up my shirt and when i pushed him away all he said was that ooh come on this is the chance for us to love since everyone was out then he ripped off my shirt and then he picked me up and took me to his bedroom and got on me i tried to hit him and get out but he grabbed my hands and also started kissing me i was so helpless because i couldn't do anything.i never really told my parents and also didn't really got preganant and now that i have such a happy life i still have flashbacks of the scene and whenever i face him he also has the look in his eyes "you better not tell" and he always looks like he did the right thing but now he tried to threaten me again and i told my brother.

molested last year - Alexis - Dec 17th 2006
I'm 15 and was molested last year by a senior. I have stopped contact with him, but still have nightmares that he will come and find me. He is now in college. We began talking when I was extremely depressed and self-destructive. He would tell me that there was no one else for me and that he was the only one that could make me happy; I shouldn't even have contact with other people. We went to a movie one day and he continually (sexual act involving digital insertion) me after I told him to stop and that he was hurting me. I doubt he realizes what he has done to me, but I just wanted to warn people out there to be careful and watch out. Don't be afraid to make a scene, if you don't like what's going on, make it stop. Hi Lyssa - - Dec 13th 2006
Hi Lyssa, I am a student and in my health class I am studying about rape, harassment, and other kinds of abuse. I do not know if it is right to say this but I am so sorry. Please don't think I'm pitying you. I can not understand how you must feel from the experience because I have never been raped. I just wanted to say that I think your a strong person to be able to cope with your grief and not have given up on life. God bless you Lyssa and your strong because you have been able to talk about it. I wish I could do something to your abusers because you did not deserve that. Bye. - - Dec 4th 2006
lyssa-i am so sorry that such horrible things happened to you- i don't know what to say- i just can't stand that there are no comments yet- you are right to say something about your abuse but i ache for you that there is not much that may be done about it- i am just so terribly sorry-i will pray for you that you can stay strong enough to know that they were wrong- not you little me - lyssa - Nov 17th 2006
Yeah, i was raped by my brothers and my cousin plus a boyfriend. my brothers forced me to do things to them and my cousin did stuff to me. no matter how many times i said no they still did it. my boyfriend tried but i got away. im sick of living with it. im still haunted this day by it. and it still makes me cry.
