⭐️It is important to talk to our children male and female of proper interaction from adults. What is appropriate and boundaries. Have the conversation with your child about everything and anything related to boundaries, personal space, appropriate vs inappropriate touch, secrets, their body, the minute they are able to talk and walk. It is better to start early. There are nowadays so many books for children with illustrations as well if you need help in these areas. However, staying quiet on these topics is not an option today. Many times the ones who end up to be the molestor and abuser are individuals very close to the family or an authority figure. Last but not least LISTEN TO YOUR CHILD. Believe them. Despite the shock or hurt, believe them. If all these is hard for you, then please seek assistance to help you. It is totally okay.
I was about 13, when it first happened to me.
My mother used to date a doctor at the hospital she worked at in Orange County, California. For a long time I didn’t tell anyone what happened, because I didn’t think anyone would believe me. He was a brilliant doctor. and everyone loved him. Plus he was a father figure in my life, I couldn’t bear the idea of losing another one... This creepy man used to put on scary movies because he knew my mother couldn’t watch them and when she would leave the room, he would touch me beneath a blanket. One night he put on a scary movie, and offered to get me some hot chocolate. After drinking it, the next thing I remember is waking up the next day and being in a bedroom upstairs, not knowing how I got there. When I got up, I almost passed out because my head was fuzzy and I was in so much pain in my private area.
I asked my mother’s boyfriend how I got into the bedroom, and he said “you fell asleep so I carried you.” I knew he was lying because I was a very light sleeper at the time, but I couldn’t prove it so I kept quiet. I don’t think I fully realized or accepted what he had done, until many years later. The touching happened more than once. The r@pe, just the one time as far as I know. He flirted with me, before the touching started. He exposed me to x-***ed movies. He took me shopping a lot. Favored me. When they broke up is when the abuse finally stopped. He even bought me a car, to keep me quiet. I told my mother when I was 19, after I had accidentally told a family counselor about it, and she insisted I tell. I wanted my mom to hear it from me. I am so grateful to God for helping me heal and get past this trauma. It wasn’t easy, but it has made me stronger. I hope you know you’re not alone. Do the work, lean on God if you believe in Him, & over time it will get easier. I am living proof. My mother is remarried to a great guy now, thank god!
