Thanks, ladies! My mom passed away when I was 17, but I will always remember her sticking up for me. She was freaking awesome!
what a great woman she was. I'm sorry it all happened to you and that she is gone.
your story brought me to tears... all the other stories are making my stomach turn with sadness- but hearing that your mom did that - and knowing what she must have felt - just brought me to tears. I'm so glad she did that for you. I wish everyone else would have had someone stick up for them in that way.
When I was young (like 4-5), I had to potty. So I used the bathroom at my apartment. We were having a picnic & only had one bathroom. An older man came in & peed in the sink while I sat on the pot. It didn't bother me then but I know now that wasn't appropriate.
I was date raped (roofied) in college by the frat brother of a good friend/crush at said friend's birthday party.
Yep, by my sister's boyfriend. She was a junior in high school, I was about to enter 7th grade, and he was a year or so out of high school. He had a gun, and repeatedly assaulted her as well. He's in jail for something else, though a police report was filed for the abuse to my sister. This all happened through a summer while my dad was across the country on business, and my mom was working nearly full time during the week.
I wish my parents had gone after him, and bothered to ask me if I experienced anything while he was in our home. They knew I was in the house when he victimized my sister. I also wish my sister had told my parents that he had assaulted me as well - as she was usually in the same effing room when it happened to me. I've always been bitter about that. But I kept my mouth shut because my parents weren't easy to approach, and watched my sister go through therapy.
A few months after he was out of our lives he was arrested for armed robbery. We found out because his mug shot was on the news.

Thank you! It is strange, but at the time I thought it was my fault. I remember before we all went for a drive, I was interested in his sunglasses. They were those sunglasses that folded up completely, you know the ear pieces folded and as a kid, I thought those were pretty cool. Anyway, I remember sitting on his lap and he was tickling me and I was laughing. I didn't think that he would ever hurt me.
My stepsister was raped when she was 20 and the rapist took her virginity. She was walking into her apartment from Wednesday night church service and her light switch didn't work when she flipped it on. She didn't think anything of it, but as she was walking over to her table lamp she noticed a man hiding behind her chair. He forced her into her bedroom and covered her head with a pillowcase and duck taped it around her neck. He held a knife to her neck as he raped her. He then got up and rummaged around her kitchen for some food and then came back and raped her again and then he sodomized her. He raped her over and over for about an hour and then left her there.
She said she blacked out a bit, and once she came too she was able to get the pillowcase off of her and go for help. She didn't have a cell phone at the time and he cut her phone lines. She went to her next door neighbor for help and she called 911 for her.
My sister was able to identify her rapist from his voice. He was her other neighbor's ex-husband and he told the cops that my sister was an "easy target". I hate that this happened to my sister. She is doing great now. She has been married over 10 years and has two amazing little boys. Her rapist has been in prison this whole time and there isn't any chance he is ever going to get out.
I think I was about 6 or 7 at the time. My step sisters locked us all in the bathroom, with my step dad and his mom in the living room, and molested both my sister and I. My step father didn't even pay attention to the crying that was going on. My mom was at work at the time but heard us crying at some point and didn't know why we didn't tell them. My stepsisters never got in trouble for it and not to long after that my step father walked out on my mother and I haven't seen him or his daughters since.
