Survivor Story #4

(Submitted January 20, 2019)

I was 7, my eldest cousin abused my trust by taking me to the roof of my aunt's house, he molested me I don't know what else could have happened if it wasn't for my little brother coming up to get me. then came his younger brother he waited until all of them went ahead of us to visit grandma, he wanted to play "doctor" with me, thankfully he didn't get to go any further either, cause I was saved yet again by my dad when he called to me. at the time I had no idea what the hell was going on, and I was scared about saying anything so I ignored cause they stopped at it anyway, but then when I was 9, it was my uncle he did the same thing as my eldest cousin, difference I was in the kitchen.


I was terrified, made an excuse ran and glued myself to my mum's side for the whole. then when I was 12, it was my friend's father, same thing took me off guard to be honest. I never went there after that. I never spoke about this until recently after my parents divorce, and now I have to live with my grandparents and UNCLE and his wife, and mum and my brother of course..by this point you probably noticed I don't feel safe in my own damn house, cause my uncle just loves to come check on his big sister on a daily basis. Nothing happened since "then" but I have anxiety, panic attacks, dyspnea , depression and bipolar disorder. sometimes I just shut myself in my room to keep him away. all I can think about is how long will it take me to get out of this house.
