      Her mom failed cause she didn't protect her. She instead chose to live with the abuser and blame her daughter. That is sometimes the case when the mother chooses not to leave out of fear. Unfortunately, the daughter also became the abuser by molesting her brother. I grew up with sexual abuse and the family dynamics can become very twisted.

      I completely agree! It’s suffocating when a mother can stand by and watch this. I can relate with my mom. If they knew and didn’t take action, they need a consequence. I’m glad she has her mother figure! Anyone can fill that role not just your birth mom!

      Depends on what kind of threats he made and what kind of power he has over her. A lot of these men tell the woman he will kill her and the children if they tell. And they fully intend it. In fact, a lot of these stories where the man kills his whole family? That's because the kids were getting older and we're going to start telling about the things he was doing to them. So he ends it all.

      No I agree especially these days this isn't the 80's where a man could rape his wife at will bc she was considered property. These mothers who know and stay & do little nothing are just as compliced especially if they are in the same bed. This woman's testimony has to be the most realist and raw I think I have ever watch. You can definitely tell she has put in the work to heal from her childhood and the trauma inflicted upon her & her brother. Powerful, powerful stuff.

      Sounds like my ex's story which turned him into a narcissist. Was with him for years until it clicked that some you can't help or save (I was molested to but my mother beat the crap out of that man). Where as his mother ignored the fact that his own brother did this to him, she realized years later and would correct it by being his best friend loving mom now*. Not realizing that what was done to him, those he was surrounded by are what turned him into who he is today. Uses women, sleeps around, abusive, didn't care about if us women got pregnant -hes out and gone. The woman had to be this non existent person of his creation - always love him, only feel for and listen to him, must have your own income (if you have a disability or not) etc because he was surrounded by one kind of environment not knowing what else exists.

    I think it is so brave and important that this woman is being open about the fact that she initially enjoyed the sexual abuse she survived. A child has no frame of reference that what is happening to them is an inappropriate and egregious abuse of power. Survivors feel so much shame about the fact that the abuse was enjoyable to them, but of course it is not their fault and they didn't know better. This is a complete mind f**k for survivors. Kudos to this woman for breaking the stigma and shame so that she and others can heal.

      Absolutely agree with you.. People judge that and I boggled that they do.. Touch, if not blatantly forceful or violent, is going to feel nice. You hit the nail on the head.. They have no frame of reference, so that closeness and feeling special/loved, wpuld seem positive. I genuinely think that's why men in particular have such a difficult time in processing abuse. Their body's have a physical response after a certain age, so they blame themselves for "actively enjoying" it.. so the guilt often overwhelms them. They can't even convince themselves, never mind others, that they weren't "asking for it". This lady is badass and I hope other victims of assault can take comfort hearing her story.. The cycle can be broken, and you can actually heal and overcome this horrific violation of innocence.

      @@lykarabbit3just watched a doc about child sexual abuse. One of the survivors who told his story of being raped by his uncle really stood out. He said it wasn’t violent and that it became such a regular activity that he would even beg for it at times. Both of his parents worked crazy hours so he explained how this relationship with his uncle felt like love at the time. He would get jealous and somewhat possessive of this uncle. Then, at only 13 years old he became to old for said uncle. He described the different “outfits” he would wear. Explaining, that throughout his adolescence one of these “outfits” he wore was promiscuity. He goes on to say he became very promiscuous with young ladies, having to have a lot of girlfriends to validate his masculinity, “to make [him] feel like a man.” To be rid of the feelings and confusion of if he’s homosexual or heterosexual. Another “outfit” being aggression, hostility, anger, rage. He explained his thought process at the time was “if I’m the toughest, if I’m the baddest you can’t get close enough to me to get intimate with me to hurt me”.
      I remember how hard life was for me at that age, not having experienced SA, but to have to go through all those emotions and feelings at that age not to mention the confusion and frustration?! I can’t even imagine how torturous and awful that must be for these young men.

      So many people have this experience and are ashamed to ever say it because it just sounds so awful and makes them feel so dirty. I think some assaults are more violent and brutal so those are the kind where people don’t understand how someone could have had any pleasure from it, but some assaults are not violent and painful like that, so sometimes your body will respond in a way that feels like it’s betraying your mind and gut, that are telling you it’s wrong. 😢

      I’m a victim of CSA and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in my 20s. It came back 3 years ago and I was prescribed with meds, 1 was for my thyroid and 1 for my heart symptoms. About 3 months into my meds, the pill for the heart palpitations lost its effect and so I notified my endocrinologist. She just guessed maybe I have trauma because my heart is normal but I told her a few times that my heart felt otherwise - felt like I still have tremors. So for days I kind of dig deeper into the “trauma” theory of my endocrinologist and just like a puzzle, all the pieces were suddenly put together... I was s*xually abused when I was 4, 6, 14 and 15. There was also an assault at age 18. That explains my behavior - dissociation, depersonalization, derealization, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self harm and so on. And there’s the “control” issue as Tiffany described. The control issue pissed people around me. I never thought I have PTSD and that I was s*xually abused. The mind does its thing to hide those dark secrets to protect the young mind from the bad effects of those terrible events

      Yes, I agree. But I was thinking also that it is probably just a biological reaction to feel pleasure because that is how our bodies work. I think we cannot control it that we feel pleasure and the perpetrator knows this and figures out how exactly to do this so that we feel guilty for enjoying it, even though that is not at all in our control.

      I agree, they are exploiting the biological components. This is why we should never ever lower age of consent. And there’s a strong movement towards lowering it as long as it is consensual and I truly believe it is why they’re trying to teach children about bodily pleasures at such a young age. I warn my kids often about these things, and that they’re suppose to be for someone your married to (as were Christian). And especially not some creepy old dude, but that also other kids are doing this to their peers. Also porn is really messing up the minds of so many pre-pubescent kids, and how much you want to bet all the SAers like this step dad consumed a bunch of smut. Disgusting.

The person who knew better is the abuser and only the abuser. Completely understand where your coming from and anyone who has been through this will know the shame of those same feelings. You are beautiful and life is beautiful even after abuse!

    • @zaerosa
      @zaerosa 4 месяца назад

      its the natural response of the human body to feel pleasure. the human body was designed to feel pleasure from sex, the predator new this and violated boundaries the victim had no knowledge of. many childhood victims says "it felt good" which is what scares them so they often stay quite due to confusion. stop shaming other people for sharing their most vulnerable parts of themselves. its so common for victims to feel that way.@@kirstiehiorns618

    Sorry you went through such a terrible childhood. Your mother clearly had a terrible childhood herself and possibly her own father.may have been abusing her. The fact that your grandparents walked in the room when your mum was hitting you and walked out and said nothing, speaks volumes to me. Your entire family they are sick people. Break this generational curse, speak it out of existence and take back your power. Protect your children. Please go to counselling. I do not have the courage to share the trauma I went through. We are survivors. You are an inspirational, strong, courageous lady. I pray continuous healing over your life.

    "All my family have knocked my truth down." This resinated with me. Abuse is perpetrated in silence and gaslighting, this does the utmost damage because even when you tell outsiders, your truth is never validated by your family of origin for many reasons. Fear, love, respect and betrayal have many faces within a family such as the one I grew up in.
    Sexual abuse takes away our identity as an autonomous person, separate from the family. I am saddened by any person who goes through this while trying to grow as a functioning individual. I am saddened for myself. We did not choose what should never have been done to us. These heinous crimes against children and adults.
