    When I told my story about my uncle raping me. His mother said “she is lying, do you see how she dressed? I told her to stop dressing like that and stop tempting man” I was 11 years old dressing like the church had taught me. Blaming the victim and not the perpetrator is what’s wrong with this society.

      I was never molested, but, I remember being so disturbed by something my Grandma said to me. Growing up, I was an Usher in our church and we sat in the very back of the church which put us in the direct line of vision for anyone standing at the pulpit. One Sunday, my Grandma asked me to move because she didn't want the Pastor to be distracted by my pretty legs. I was TWELVE, the pastor at the time was in his 40s!
      Like.. why are they placating a Pedophile? Was he known for looking at little girls?! I wouldn't be shocked, I learned as an adult that the man who occasionally drove the church bus was a convicted child rapist. He drove my cousin and I to a few events when we were between the ages of 11-15. I only learned this a few years ago when said man murdered his wife....a woman I'd known my entire life.

My voice was never heard but it is being heard now. One person at a time. I’m strong enough now and want to share my story to continue bringing awareness. Please choose to fight against molestation/ sex abuse WITH ME!, My fight is just getting started. This fight (for me) is no longer about my abuse, it’s about the society that failed me and my determination to bring awareness.

The sexual abuse lasted into my teens, with as many as a dozen abusers that I can remember, until I stood up and said NO! The mental, emotional and spiritual abuse lasted until I had a child of my own at 28 and I refused to let any of it happen to him, so I walked away from all of my blood relatives.

Instead I park my car right beside the playground and wave at my child.

      We have to be cautious though too. I once confronted my friend because her dad went out of his way to make her happy. For example, he’d camp out to get a new release of a movie, book, or device she liked. He was always telling her how pretty she was. He would run his fingers through her hair, hug her, and put his arm on her all the time. My dad is German, and we aren’t touchy people, so it made me uncomfortable. When I asked my friend about her dad, she told a counselor about it, and the counselor called CPS. There was a huge investigation, the dad nearly lost his high profile career, and the parents nearly lost custody. Everything ended up being perfectly normal, he just loved his daughter and was a touchy feely type guy. I’m not saying not to question that behavior. I’m just saying to really speak to the child. Don’t push the idea that something could be happening that they are blocking out, unless the child says they can’t remember chunks of time or blacking out.

It continued to happen until I was 12 and she finally left him but the trauma of my mother not protecting me from this man haunts me!! I figured if my mom didn’t do anything to protect me no one would!! This man was so obsessed with me that he found where we lived and he would leave me gifts and sick love notes and my mom would give me these gifts!! The hardest thing in the world was forgiving both of them, that started my healing process!! Don’t get me wrong I would never speak to him and I would never want to see him!! It’s also made my relationship with my mother very distressed!! Had it not been for Jesus Christ I wouldn’t be where I’m at today as a Christian!!

The truth is that your own strength got you through it -- you saved yourself. Be proud of yourself and dont give the credit to Jesus when you are your own magic.

    What concerns me are the bystanders in these kids lives that sense something is terribly wrong and don't do anything about it. We should not only hold to perpetrators accountable, every other adult who claims they "did not know" should be questioned and scrutinized as well. We need way more safe spaces to report and solutions for these crimes to be reported and prosecuted.

    You do not know how much you have helped people like me. I know I’m not the only one, that’s just illogical. You may have helped thousands and thousands of victims. I wish I could take your pain and send it to the depths of hell. Since I can not I am so happy to see you found a way to go on and found the strength to tell your story. Kids do nothing wrong to make this sickening evil happen but it take a lot of decades to realize you were innocent and you were wronged but you were not wrong! I love you even though I don’t know you. It’s a heart bond from one survivor to another. I wish you peace and love.

As an adult, I would think, why didn't our fathers take him out and shot him. He was married to my aunt, can you believe that. But he has to answer for all of what he did. And I know that the God I serve will see to it that we will have justice.

    Apparently sexual abuse is way more common than any of us can even imagine, I am 60 years old and thru the years almost every woman that I have known went thru some sort of sexual abuse. It is truly horrendous!!! The more I hear the more I understand how common it really is. I was sexually abused from the time I was in diapers. By the time I was 12 i remember asking my mom if I had sex written across my for head or something, I thought something was wrong with me that almost every man I met thats all they wanted!

I cannot imagine being that child and having no one for comfort and protection from the evil predator. They let these perpetrators out after short sentences in prison and move them to another district where they can start all over again with new victims.
