Sexual Abuse
What happens to a child after sexual abuse, and their family does nothing? Sexual abuse happens to millions of children around the world, here is my story.
Now up to this point my mother was oblivious to what was happening to me, but the story does not end there. When I was 11 years old my mother asked me very casually, as I was getting ready for school, if our neighbors had ever touched inappropriately. I broke down crying and told her everything. My mother’s response was “don’t cry”, “and hurry up you are going to miss the bus.” For years I have tried to rationalize this response and to this day I have not been able to understand how she did not drop everything that she was doing to call the police, or at least give her daughter a huge.
Every day that goes by I fear what my daughter may be subjected to by her peers at school, and what she may she or hear on TV that is inappropriate for a little girl to see or hear. But I know, with every inch of my being, that I will never let anyone hurt her, in any way. Now as I look down at my little girl I know with out a doubt in my mind that I will never let something like that ever happen to her. Unlike my mother I will never turn my back on my child, and let unthinkable things happen to her.
