I have seen so many comments about how the parents refused to believe their child when they told them they had been abused. Not only that but also continuing to place that child in harms way even after they were told. I simply cannot fathom how a parent could do that!!
I was lucky, when I blurted it out that my father was [quote] a "child molester" my mom believed me and kicked him out of the house for good.
When my own daughter came to me and told me she had been abused I believed her at once (I had taught her about inappropriate touching etc and to come and tell me at once).
But how many of you were not believed? If you had the chance to go back to your parent and give them a piece of your mind, what would you say to them?
Feel free to vent..........

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
How many of your parents were also victims of abuse (that you know of). Interestingliy enough, my mother was abused by her father as a child but repressed those memories and her memory wasn't triggered until I accused my father in front of her.
As a parent I would personally stand by my kids every time.
Its really eaten at me for years that she wouldn't believe me. Even when faced by medical and forensic evidence she still stuck by him. I don't understand why mothers side with the abuser, guess we will never really know.
if the abuser is the dad, the mom could be very dependent upon the dad.
neither of these reasons make it okay...they're just suggestions.
All I know is, at age six, i needed to masturbate to re-create that feeling those two bastards had turned on on my skin.
Big Breath.
Then, that same year, I "got caught" playing with my cousin, to get the same feeling. Heck, it was OK, right? This, after all, in hindsight, is what someone, an adult, had taught me. It's OK and fun!
Not.
This is how incessant sexual abuse is.
The same old man who had abused me abused my uncle, who was only five years older than I. My uncle, then, sexually abused me.
MyMother has never shown any empathy for my situation. My Father has tried. That they have not embraced me and said, "I am so sorry this has happened to you," makes me very sad and part of my therapy is to fill myself up with the void of empathy.
