It has taken me a long time to overcome my history of sexual abuse. Please don't laugh at me...

When I was a little girl I was sexually abused at the ages 8-12. Four years of my childhood were taken from me and I am really sad about that. I'm writing this because I want people to know that there are bad people in the world. I don't want sympathy. I just thought that I should say something.

When I was 8 years old, my mom got a new boyfriend. Two weeks later my older brother and I were being beaten by him. Then about a week from then he started coming into my room at night and touching me. He'd make me do things to him and he would put his fingers inside of me and he'd use these weird looking toys and he told me not to tell or else he'd hurt my brother and this happened for four years before I told. I loved my brother very much he was 10 years older than me. My brother was the only one that truly cared about me and I knew he'd keep me safe no matter what and I know this because he was the one that actually raised me he also told me that he could have just moved out already but he had to make sure I was okay and that I always would be.

My brother didn't know this at the time but I told him eventually. He was furious. He told the police and it had to go to court but he went with me, so I wasn't scared at all. My brother was always there for me. My brother eventually got custody over me an everything was fine. But everyone reading this don't be afraid to speak out the thing I regret most is waiting four years to say something instead of just speaking out right then. Don't let fear take over your voice always speak out no matter what!

Don't be afraid!
