I've just sold my,story to a magazine...

[PopGoesTheFuckingWeasel]

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.

Wow, I'm totally in awe of you Pop.

I can't begin to comprehend what you've had to endure over your lifetime, but reading the article, and your words here, you are an inspiration.

Thank you for speaking out

I hope you got plenty of money for selling it..and I hope you treat yourself to some lovely things with the money...💐

You know i think your bloodyfuckingfantastic. Your kids are a credit to you and quite frankly your cat collection is impressive lol. Your sisters have been at you like a pair of dogs for as long as ive known you and fuck em. They can say what they want. No one believes them and after the article comes out even less will believe the utter shit they spout. X

Can't the police take action against them for harrassment?

Just read your story and I am in equal part heartbroken and amazed at your strength. I have a huge amount of admiration for you.

You are a brilliant woman and have created a brilliant family. What you have talked publicly about will have and is helping so many. You are an absolute all the more so for being a totally normal fuckwarren mumsnetter like we all are and dealing with what you've had to go through. and love to you and yours. And power to you and those who hear your words and speak out

Pretend I've just twigged. Excuse us "rest of Mumsnet"...but...love you girl.

And for the "monotone counsellor" fucking idiotic being...really???? Yes, it takes strength to,let shit out...but is she aware of the steel determination it sometimes takes to keep things in- to keep them hidden, for fear of hurting others or ourselves? Please let me smack her with a stick

You are an inspiration and a warrior and a hero!
Nobody who actually is worth knowing and is a true friend would think anything else after reading the article and hearing your truth so I can't imagine what they hope to gain.
Can you deal with them legally? You've probably already said, I just wanted to comment after reading the article . I hope you get the peace you deserve.

Pop I'm blown away by your amazing attitude to all that's gone on. I feel proud of you and I don't even know you, so I'm sure your FB friends who are receiving that article from your sisters will feel the same way as all of us here. You are a wonderful person

Just wanted to tell you that I think your a awesomely brave and incredibly strong! I'm sorry for your loss but glad you have two beautiful children in your life, they will grow up strong too!

Wow, really, wow.

You are in amazing, honestly.
There are not words to describe the admiration I have for you.
I find your strength and your attitude completely inspiring.
congratulations on being a kick ass survivor.

You are so brave

Pop you've done a brilliant thing by speaking out and outing yourself for the sake of others. Speaking out must be hard enough but outing yourself is truly heroic. If you can please link the new article.

OP, you are amazing. Such strength.

Pop,

Adding myself to the list of your many, many admirers...

Courageous, inspiring and a wonderful role model.

You're reclaiming your life with dignity, whilst offering meaningful support to others (who will trust in you far more than some, having read of your personal experiences).

The very best of luck to you, your DD and DS2 for a happy future...and, of course, your precious first son is also in my thoughts.

Wow Pop...

Kudos to you in coming forward, tell your story, shout it from the rooftops! Anyone with half a brain can see that, after going through something as horrendous as you have, you are NOT attention seeking!

You may well have saved many children from being abused, and inspired many women and men to come forward and nail the bastards that have abused them!

They cannot discredit you after she had pled guilty. Are they morons?

My hats completely off to you! Your children are very lucky to have you as a mother, they should be very proud that they have such a strong mother!

I hope your little family unit moves on as one, and you continue to have that strength. Be proud of who you are, you have done a really courageous thing. Fuck the haters. You have all you need.
Much love

You are an inspiration. They are some messed up people who need proper help. I read Dana Fowley's book and she is one very strong woman like you and has gone through similar.

What was your mother's sentence?

You are a survivor and a strong person who has done a fantastic thing to help others.

Your job as a sister was not to protect your sisters, that's what parents are supposed to do.

If someone sent me that with a 'look at the attention seeker' I'd judge them, not you.

It always amazes me that the person whois abused is the one who is invariably accused of "breaking uptake family" - never the abuser themselves, no matter how vile and brutal their behaviour.

Well done, Weasel. I suffered childhood abuse myself and whenI tried to tell people was told t shut up because it would break up the family, so-and-so would go to jail and then X would happen etc. You have been very courageous and have suffered cruelly for your stand.

Wishing you every joy in the future - and thank you for speaking out.

OP, you are very brave. Well done! Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy your life.

You are amazing Pop 🌟

OP they are disgusting vile beings. You need to goto the police for harassment

Ah, jeez, I thought the thread on the husband anally raping his wife was bad, and now I've just read this. I'm so so sorry for what you went through as a child, and I hugely admire your strength in moving forward. You deserve a really happy life uou really do.

These people. Uour family are sick, perverted twisted individuals, keep standing up to them, never let them win, ignore their posts. No you're not attention seeking, and do uou know what, you bloody should be. You should scream it from the rooftops, and let everyone know what pieces of shit there are and what they did. The shame is always the abusers and never the person who is abuseds.💐

OP I want you to know how amazing you are, how strong and proud of you I am.

I have just gone NC with my family because of child abuse, not on the scale that you had to endure, but enough to leave me with mental health problems for the 30 years since. In this position it's so easy to feel beaten down and ashamed and I am in awe of you for talking about it publicly and the strength that will give others in the same position cannot be underestimated.

Sending you lots of love and support.

Pop you are amazing, thank you for this x

OP, congratulations. A fantastically brave and empowered move on your part, and I do hope that it will help others speak out too.
