I was molested when I was about 5 or 6 years old by three step brothers. Their ages were 10, 11, and 12… and the molestation went on for about 8 years… it finally stopped when i turned 13 years old… all three of them today are no longer in my life anymore and I thank God for that… two of them did time in prison when they got older and one of them moved out of state. But yeah I don’t see them and I hope never do… I was to young to understand what was happening to me at that age but know I understand… those tragic events that happened to me in my childhood ruined my life but I know that I’m not alone, even though even till this day I look back and it haunts me till this day.. and if it wasn’t for God I don’t know where I would be right now… God has helped me though this rough journey I’ve been on up until now and I’m 34 years old today now and it’s a struggle of coping and trying to stay mentally sane but as long as I have Jesus Christ in my life he is my strength and I just want to say…

Romans 10:9-13

9.That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For, with the heart man, believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11. For the scripture, saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

This guy is a legend. As a victim battling deep wounds, this man is giving me hope. I’m beginning to see a psychiatrist through the NHS which is helpful to anyone thinking about it. Highly recommended.

You’re so brave and your parents should’ve supported you no matter what you’re their child

Thanks. I am 25, and i was molested from age 6 to 7 by a man and woman married couple. Not my parents. I didn't tell my parents at the time because I didn't want to taint my mom's view of me as her cute little boy. I was always precious to her and I didn't want her to see me as dirty. I never told my Dad because he wouldn't have believed me, he already couldn't stand me. He died in 2020 so he will never know. I told my mom a couple years ago and she's thankfully been very supportive for the most part. my mental health is not good and by my own admission, i am a whack job. not trying to be self deprecating, just being honest. I'm weird and i've been taken by police to the hospital about a dozen times. I've made myself into a spectacle in the town in which i live. been diagnosed a host of bullshit, bipolar disorder, depression, cptsd. i don't buy into all their overlapping diagnoses to be honest. I think the human psyche is too complex for even the smartest genius on earth to comprehend.

My experience in life though since 2021 when I started to seek help for this, is that nobody really gives too much of a shit. there are myriads upon myriads of resources and groups and therapists available for women sexual assault victims. But very very very little help for men. and if a place does offer services for male victims, it seems perfunctory and like they're just fulfilling an obligation so they can't get sued or something. like checking off a box, no heart or compassion. fuck it I'm done

Thanks for sharing. Sadly the paedophile who abused me when I was only 11/12 was 100% successful in getting away with it almost 50 yrs ago; God knows where he is now; I am over 60 yrs old but certainly not over it if at all.

Woah. Incredible choice to disclose. And so credible for other young people who are worried about what has happened to them.

It happened to me too

My circumstances and the country in which I used to live is a lot different, and the matter happens during that period with several children, so each time has different circumstances, but today I am a much better and stronger person, despite the negative impact in my life, it was not very dangerous, but it left a negative impact
I was around 7 8 when it happened too
Glad to hear your story brother ❤

I was physically abused by my mother, and molested by 2 of her boyfriends. I tried taking her to court when I was 16, but my mother played it out like I just got injured during sports. I had many big bruises in places that were hidden. How she got away with it, I don’t know.

I'm VERY PROUD OF YOU FOR REACHING OUT ❤ I LOVE YOU BROTHER. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND HELP OTHERS

Thank you so much. I’ve tried to shield my son from the evils of this world only telling him about stranger danger. But now he’s 9 and asked me permission to go to New Jersey with his friend and his grandfather “people that neither my husband nor I know” but he couldn’t understand why I told him NO. This video has helped him understand. Thank you again.

From my experience, those weekend visits to family which supposedly should enrich my childhood memories are the ones that became the nightmare part of my childhood.

I hope every parent will be sensitive to their children's actions around other family members. Children usually show a level of discomfort when they are around someone whom they have had a weird, uncomfortable experience with, or sometimes, when they are around sexual predators.

I'm one of the unfortunate kids whose mother don't care what happens to me (as long as she sees me around or not missing.) To so many parents all that matters is that you do not die ahead of them. These parents care more not to be labeled irresponsible by the people around them if their child died prematurely by some accident or whatever reason. They do not care to think that there are experiences in life that can kill a child...inside. With every repeated sex abuse a child goes through, the child dies slowly. The shame and the pain is carried throughout adulthood.

Poor guy. I hope he is moving on and healing ❤️‍🩹 every part of his life

This makes me so angry, 4 years. It’s an absolute joke. I’m an abuse survivor. Unfortunately my family weren’t as supportive as it was one of them. It’s destroyed my life. Been to counselling & had medication too.
