Victim of a Crime
Hello, I'm Morgan. When I was 14 years old, I was molested by a family friend. Someone I thought I could trust. He cornered me in my own house. I had nowhere to run. My aunt came to my rescue when I wouldn't pick up the phone but he was gone before she got to my house. Since then, it has plagued me. I still hear his voice in my head. He told me it was all my fault and that I seduced him. It wasn't my fault. I was too young to even understand the meaning of the word seduce let alone actual do it. He is in jail now but I'm the one permanently suffering emotionally. It isn't fair.
Fernandez, I know exactly how youre feeling. When I was a kid I was molested by my dad. Im sure it doesnt ever bother him, but my counselor told me my depression and ptsd are a result of him doing what he did to me. Just remember that you didnt have anything to do with it. It was totally all that piece of garbages fault. Are you able to see a counselor about it? It can get better.
My mom has suggested going to a counselor. My employment offers free counseling so I'm looking into it. I have a problem with keeping emotions inside and not letting out how I feel but I know the only way to cope is to talk about it.
Morgan, thats great. I also connected to my counselor through work.
By the way, I'm so sorry it happened to you too. That's horrible.
I am so sorry this has happened to you. You are right it is not fair. What you went through is something NO ONE should ever have to experience and it is in no way your fault. You are brave for reaching out to the site and sharing your story. I'd like to encourage you to also check out a web site that might be of some help. aftersilence.org
Thank you so much! I will!
