Female, 43
I lost my innocence at the tender age of 7. I had a very sick family member that lived with my mother and I, despite the fact that he was a grown man with no known disabilities.
I was unable to attend school one day due to a high fever and my life changed forever. I think my mother always invested too much trust in this man despite his questionable past and violent tendencies but what we didn’t know, was that he was a paedophile.
My mom left for work at 8 am and I relaxed in front of the TV before falling asleep after about an hour. When I woke up, I remember seeing his creepy face looking down at me with a slight smirk.
I didn’t overthink it and decided to head to my room to continue my nap.
He followed me to my room and started showing me adult videos he had on a dusty VHS tape. Prior to this, I was never exposed to any such material.
I told him repeatedly that I did not want to watch the videos but my pleas fell on deaf ears. Suddenly, after a few minutes, he removed the tape from the VCR player and said, “I need to pop a leak.”
Feeling relieved and scared, I said to myself “finally this freak is out of my room.” Then moments later, he re-entered my room apologizing for showing me the inappropriate video.
Just moments later, and in what seemed like the blink of an eye, he disrobed and started walking towards me with his erect penis in hand.
I don’t know how I found the energy to move, but I remember running faster than I ever did, downstairs and through the front door.
I yelled and screamed as I ran to a neighboring house and explained what happened to me to the family that lived there.
They called 911 and as soon as my mom was alerted she rushed home from work to give me a massive hug and ensure that I was ok.
And while I was not physically molested, the emotional toll it took on me made it impossible for me to ever be intimate with a man in my later years, despite receiving years of therapy.
The incident took a terrible toll on my young mind and I was never the same!

There really are some people with some sick and warped minds! Poor soul…..I hope you recover fully emotionally and eventually find a way to enjoy the love of a man.
