I’m so sorry and sad to hear your story, another story about a rape by a family member & and a parent who didn’t do their job and protect you. Instead placed blame. God teaches us to forgive. But you never forget. I believe God has a way of punishing those who are cruel to their own flesh and blood. Stay strong!

Thank you, Chelie. I used to be so ashamed to admit I was raped. I wanted to stay a virgin until I married. Sadly, he went on to rape my best friend a year later.

My little sister was later gang raped by a bunch of College frat boys at a 'keg party'. She only told me, not my mother because she already saw how my mother had treated me about being raped.

To me it's just proof that children need fathers just as much as they need mothers. I wholeheartedly believe that if I'd had a strong father figure in my life, I'd have been way more protected. But, we learn and we move on and hope springs eternal.

That’s horrible. Too many times we here victims stories of rapes that they had to endure humiliation by family members or threats that prevented them from reporting this crime & the rapist went on to assault others. It makes on wonder how many others were raped by such a person. It’s people like you telling your story that can become great advocates for others in your shoes working to overcome the trauma of rape. Presets for continued recovery.
