And I need to vent.

Past caring if this outs me.

About ten years ago I took my abuser to court. Two of my family members were extremely angry, and confronted me. The night resulted in me being kicked down two flights of stairs, and, as a result, my DS was born sleeping.

They've made my life hell,since. Trolled me on social media, etc. Around the time of the court case, it was picked up by a local newspaper, because of the unusual circumstances. I waived my right to anonymity, because I wanted to encourage others to come out.

Recently, the two family members have been trawling my facebook friends list, etc, and sharing the article (it's still searchable online) along with comments like "little slut broke up a family" etc.

So I decided to a) piss on their bonfire, and b), do something worthwhile. Again, if I can offer hope to just one victim out there, then it'll be worth it.

The shit will hit the fan now. I'll be called a lying, attention seeking twat.

You my dear are fucking awesome sauce and your family are cunts. I wish your sisters could see that you were as powerless as them. I admire your bravery you survivor. You used a shite situation to help others in the same shite.

If they think circulating that article makes you look bad they are really fucking deluded.

Fishface77 · 18/11/2016 23:10

Your a legend Jas!
Never let these people pull you down.
I've Tara the article and my heart breaks for you and the baby girl you once were.
Hugs Flowers

SarcasmMode · 18/11/2016 23:13

Vile people.

If I was your or their friend is rip them a fucking new one.

Hope they have a miserable life and I don't say that lightly...
Kicking someone and making them lose their baby. It makes me so angry at them and so helpless too.

I hope your world is in a better place right now.

You know they are scum. They should be in prison.

Just take pride you will never be as disgusting as they are.

I believe you Flowers

PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel · 18/11/2016 23:13

Unicorn it's also about not giving them any more of your life! You've already won, girl!!

They may take your dignity
They may take your choice
They do not take your right to live...
You still have your voice

He's better than he was. He only disclosed 2 years ago and he's nearly 50
Many
Many angry years of paranoia
'What if people know' and shame

Operation Yew Tree was a good thing of course, but for
Him it was a total headfuck. Brought it all back and he got angrier and angrier until it burst out

His mum knew for sure, even if she didn't know she KNEW!! You know?
She knew he went to prison for child sex offences but still stayed
Friends and invited him to join her church.
I hated him from the minute I met him and vice versa - family friend - and had many a row about why they still met up with him after he came out of prison. They were still adamant dh was just befriended by him and not abused. That the abuse he went down for was a one off coerced blow job. FUCKING twats

Anyway

Things are better. He's in anxiety meds and life is improved massively

I don't think he'd have disclosed now if the animal weren't dead

Unfortunately the stigma that he's had gay sex is so great to him as he isn't gay, that he wouldn't tell

He did tell our GP but refuses counsellinG

You're fab. Truly.

SarcasmMode · 18/11/2016 23:16

So sorry for my anger there. You are an inspiration. Please feel free to report my comment X

BingBongBingBong · 18/11/2016 23:17

You are fucking brilliant OP! Don't let your 'family' bring you down. Helping others through this too shows what a strong and brave woman you are.

SarcasmMode · 18/11/2016 23:19

Oh and also registered blind too Flowers

PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel · 18/11/2016 23:22

Shocked I hear you. OY fucked EVERY survivor up I think...I have a few scars on my arms from that time.

Boy, girl, whatever...he said NO. Sort if this gets heavy...do you have a son? If so, what would he say to him? Or to anyone who hurt him? Nail their ass to the wall, I suspect. Well, what makes he think he's worth any less?

pourmeanotherdrink · 18/11/2016 23:25

Well done for speaking out, you are an inspiration! Flowers

I can't believe your sisters are still stalking you after all they have done to you. Did you report them for pushing you down the stairs? If you didn't maybe threaten to do so now unless they back off immediately?

mineofuselessinformation · 18/11/2016 23:26

I've just scrolled through this thread, and agree with everyone else - go you!
As for the 'believers', sadly they must be of the same mindset as your abusers and enablers. Always remember, that says something about them, not you.

Diamogs · 18/11/2016 23:35

Flowers OP you are very brave, your family are vile

RubbishMantra · 18/11/2016 23:36

It's shocking how the abused are encouraged to feel shame. Or told "No, that didn't happen!" And yet you know it did happen, and called a liar.

You're right to be proud that you've spoken out. These types of criminals rely on secrecy and victim shaming.

QueenMortificado · 18/11/2016 23:37

Best wishes OP to you and your future Flowers

Grumpyoldblonde · 18/11/2016 23:37

You are astonishingly brave and I admire you tremendously. I'm so sorry for your appalling past and wish you peace and happiness in the future. Awesome woman.

PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel · 18/11/2016 23:39

Is it REALLY bad to hope that even this thread does some good? I know there's already a "survivors or sexual abuse" thread, but people have opened up here tonight, too! My twunthorse sisters have inadvertently spawned something so positive and useful out of their cuntish behavior!

Have to,wish you all an early Happy Thanksgiving too, as our celebrations start tomorrow- early one, partly to take my,mind off tomorrow, and Ben's birthday, and partly because all of my (nice) family can be here. ☺

Thank you for standing up, speaking out and making the world that much safer for all our children by being a role model and giving a voice to those who need it.

Ohb0llocks · 18/11/2016 23:49

You're fucking awesome. All of you!

Your sisters are murdering cunts, the world should know what they did it's evil.

Well done on using your voice, you will always be heard Smile

AcrossthePond55 · 18/11/2016 23:57

I had a professor once who told us "When you're standing shoulder deep in horse shit, there's a pony in there somewhere. Just keep looking for the pony".

I think you found your pony. I salute you. You are one hell of a woman!!!

mumofmadams · 18/11/2016 23:58

Coming out of my long-time lurking to say thank you for sharing your story, OP.
I was abused. After a few years of abusing me, he started on my DB, too. My DB told my DM straight away. She kicked his (abusers) arse out and phoned the police. I'd been too scared to tell. I always blamed myself for my DB being hurt. (I KNOW!) I felt guilty for not being brave enough to tell. It occurred to me, after reading your posts and other replies, that I didn't think you were responsible for protecting your sisters in the slightest. So why do I blame myself for my DBs abuse? It's given me a different perspective. So thank you Flowers

Yourarejokingme · 18/11/2016 23:59

I'm in awe

Make that stance and own it and you have.

I'd be proud to call you a friend

gillybeanz · 19/11/2016 00:02

You are an amazing strong woman who is using a very sad past to help others move forward.
This is an incredible thing to do, and I hope you find some comfort and peace from the new article. Thanks

MagikarpetRide · 19/11/2016 00:07

pop you are amazing. I can't imagine the courage needed to stand up and get an abuser to court, let alone how you have the strength to stand up tall and want to help others when some twunts want to hold you down. You're a far bigger person than I or a lot of other people will be. Keep on fighting and inspiring Flowers

PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel · 19/11/2016 00:09

mumof...wow.

Completely open now

That feeling that you're"not enough" for them to hurt, that if you'd done more of what they,wanted, they wouldn't have started of your DB. I get it.

They would have done, you know.

You did nothing wrong.

Again, if this offends, please someone report me, etc- but I need to be the blunt, honest me...

Angel, when sick bastards download child porn, etc, do they download 3000 pictures of the same child? Or do,they take advantage of what is available??

Would you punish your else's child (assuming here, forgive) if your youngest got into,trouble?

Why not?

Because s/he's a CHILD!

No child is bad enough, weak enough, "there" enough, to warrant that.

Again...(going to get banned from,MN for Boakness) 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
