Well, I read a few of the comments, Let me tell you about me, I am a Catholic and did Day Care for 10 years, I adore children I see them as angels with halos upon there heads, innocent and helpless, yet I was doing extra day care during one night to help a friend out and because my new alarm system caused my land line not to work. I had 3 can beers with another friend who was visiting, remind you I was helping out and never hurt any child, yet the mother called the police cause she couldn’t contact me, I was stripped from my license and lost everything for child abuse and neglect. Although I was in sound mind I never never abused nor neglected those children. 1990-2000, Now I am a Grand mother and my grand baby adores me, and most all my children I took care of are my friends on FB, and they keep telling me to day care again on second generation. :-(, any body not want your child, give them to me and I will give them love caring confort hug and a ear for listening. share there pain and teach them about God and his love for them.

Raymond Says:
Hello my name is Raymond and I was sexual abused by two of my friends at the age of 11 through homosexual acts. They used emotion manipulation, physical force, and lethal force. It was very perverse and traumatizing. The trauma just came back to me this year at the age of 25. I can only remember 7 acts which were oral sex and 1 anal act of anal sex. What should I do next?

Hello Raymond~ First, I am very sorry to hear about the abuse you endured as a child. What you have described is referred to as “repressed memories of child sexual abuse.” Here are two very good websites that will explain more about this, and give you more insight: http://www.jimhopper.com/memory/ (and) http://www.apa.org/topics/trauma/memories.aspx

This is all so familiar. I am 41 years old and the first time I was taken from the parents, I was 18 months old and no longer had an intact hymen. The last time I lived with them, I was 13 and pregnant wth the father’s baby. This is not when the torture ended however. It started up again when I was 18 and he found where I was living. It has continued with the last incident happening just a few weeks ago. I know, you are thinking, you are an adult now…the truth is that it does not matter how big you are when someneone has a gun. The father is a powerful, rich man in that town and has only been arrested 2 times for all of this. Times were way different when I was a child and now all I do is run. I have just moved to a new town where nobody knows where I am. It is very hard. I have the diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder(used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder) This has been a great challenge to deal with and not as funny as the tv shows make it out to be. I have been tortured in every way his nasty mind, and the minds of his friends, could think of. All this happening while the mother called me a husband stealing whore. I have an amazing therapist now who is so devoted and goes above and beyond anything you can imagine. Evening phone calls, text messages, email and so much more. She is so good with all the parts of me even the littlest ones. I am findng some peace these days but it has been a long time coming. Take care of yourselves….Jan

Abigail Baker Says:
I’m Abigail I was adopted from Kazakhstan, I thought I would have a better life in US. I thought wrong… I am almost 19, in 2 days. I have no family to celebrate it with. But with friends I have who have been there for me, are the reason why I am still alive. I have my moments where I have nightmares about my mother, but I can always count on my friends to comfort me. I got molested in the orphanage, and by my mothers father. But that’s not why I chose to be a lesbian, I was born like this. I am getting stronger every day. I may turn back and remember those awful moments, but I try not to stay in the past too long. I am trying to be come a child psychologist. For victims of child abuse, rape, and suicide. Wish me luck! 🙂

Well, I’m your senior. At nearly 69 (!!) and still alive, but attempted once in 2008, I’ve come a long ways. Still have nightmares though–in fact more now that I am aging and more physically vulnerable (I guess). Had years and years of therapy–some therapists told me my father couldn’t have abused me because he was a chemist and church member (Oh yeah?). The problem was that memories were so vague and ‘mother’ was and still chooses to be, in denial. Recently in a dream, I firmly told my father to stop touching me. The words “It”s your turn” have rung in my ears for years. I felt at one point I had been tied up–and there was a fear of ropes, also knives.Not only was my father sexually abusive, he ridiculed and shamed and even blamed me! Even on his deathbed he refused to admit it all…just told me–his beloved oldest daughter–that he was a different person now. Now at the late stage in my life, I’ve become a Buddhist and devote my time to the sangha and to the principles of Buddhism.
I hope that everyone on this list and those to come–refuse to kill themselves and let the abusers win! Please keep living…the meek shall inherit the earth, Jesus said. Just be your compassionate self and live humbly day to day–being thankful we are no longer being hurt and abused. Find what you can be grateful for TODAY…this moment, and the next moment. This moment is all we have. Namaste from your friend Carol (a grandma) <3

I would just like to say. I have had many attempts of sexual abuse in my past. I don’t have an actual memory of something occurring as it relates to penetration. I have always been afraid for my sisters and brothers. I am 38 years old. I have been unable to trust the right people in the past. I have a daughter who is 17 years old. Who has traits of being victimized in sexual assault situations.
I would just like to say. To all. Please ask to be released fro past trauma. Be watchful of your habits and protect yourself in all situations.
peace and love take care.

My children and I were very successful people until I relayed the abuse to the authorities and we entered what is known as “The System.” My daughter qualified for the Jr. Olympics in skiing. I won multiple awards and a national award in my career. I later fled the country with only one child that I regained custody of. There are no parenting issues, crimes, drug issues, addiction issues or personality disorders with me. All of those exist with my ex huband the abuser who has 2 of the 3 children now.
The abuse is faciliated in the U.S. and so systematic I have created and outline of how your life will go and how the authorities and court will act once real abuse is reported. It is the same over and over and over. I have 2 children tragically living with the abuser now.
I was able to reach out to high level help over the years and even television producers who all believed the government was facilating our problems and questioned if my ex husband was a CIA Informant or a Freemason because of the elements of our case and how completely contradictory to law everything was.
I am in process of writing a second book that should be out in February 2013. The first book is how our abuse all began, The Project Part I: The CIA Informant “Q” (Amazon Kindle and free lending). It is very dark and not for children to read. I had to change names and places. I fully intend for this to end in lawsuits when I finish book number 2. My friends stuck by me, but quite frankly, they are very scared, as is everyone else.
Children, know your “normal” parent(s) loves you, even if they have been eliminated from your life and continue to talk and seek help everywhere to anyone you can. The documentation will help you later in your own lawsuit even if you have to wait until you are 18 and free of the abuser.
