The anniversary of my stolen childhood

I'm not sure if anyone else would find this significant but its something that gets to me every year since I was old enough to understand.
On this day 22 years ago I had 3 things taken from me. While my mother was in hospital with my 1year old brother someone stole three very precious things from me.
The first thing they stole was my virginity, the second was my trust in those who were there to protect me and third was my childhood.
At just 3 years 4 months and 29 days I lost what most still have at 20.
And still to this day this loss haunts me.

Re: The anniversary of my stolen childhood

Oh @Former-Member
My heart goes out to you. I feel for you so much.
You see I lost my childhood at age 9. I lost my childhood my trust of others especially adults and my virginity. I had no one protect me. I lost it all to sexual sbuse by three different guys.
It hurts you I know it does. I wish I could say something but I'm lost for words.
Sending you a big warm hug
Love to you beautiful

Re: The anniversary of my stolen childhood

hugs to you to @BlueBay, it is so hard when i hear all these young girls still in highschool going on about how they wish they had someone to do it with when all i wanted was to still have mine and find the someone special.

unfortunately it could not be so because while he was my first abuser he was not the last. 

i too had no one to protect me it was over a year before he was caught out and it seemed by then no one cared for me anymore. 

it hurts alot as im sure it does for you too

Re: The anniversary of my stolen childhood

Hope you're ok @Former-Member for writing this. Hope it hasn't triggered you. I'm ok. It does hurt. I still have so much pent up anger towards my parents especially my mum. I have a good psychologist who specialises in childhood trauma.
Are you seeing someone?
