I am 41 years old and just now facing the abuse that I endured as a young child. Watching these videos has opened my eyes to how my early adult life was shaped as a result of what happened to me when I was less than 10 years old. I have not yet found the courage to seek therapy but I know I need to. Thank you for sharing your story❤

[@dawniipoo322]

It hit me late as well,the best thing I've ever done was forgive,yes it'll never go away n I'll always have the memories but I'm not easily triggered,it's on your timing,you will get through it,we are survivors ❤❤

[@elanbentley]

@@dawniipoo322 thank you for your words of encouragement❤️

[@jenrich111]

Remember your relationship with God is very healing.. because it's much cheaper than therapy for 10yrs Sweetheart. Whatever was done to you at 10 - you never made it happen nor deserved it. God loves you❤️‍🔥 These hurtful people show God who they are. Realise all the adults let you down for not providing proper supervision and moral teaching - like no- one does anything sneaky to another etc. ❤Be kind to yourself about it all

[@elanbentley]

@@jenrich111 thank you❤️. God is a healer and mender of everything that is broken!

[@ThePr0t0type2]

I'm 47. Coming across these stories has literally saved my life. I have been completely overwhelmed as of late by my attempts to process my childhood. The realization that certain family members were aware and let me go through life believing that I was a bad child who was raised better than that. I have so much anger. In my heart I can't hate anyone, but just wow. I always felt so alone when it came to my story. But listening to so many people who have experienced it...I can't even put it in words. Some of us don't survive the after affects 😢which makes this platform even more powerful. Thank you ❤

[@bigdaddyfellowsh]

At 12, you had the wisdom to know he was wrong for you. I'm proud of you.💙👍🏻

[@azchanna]

It wasn’t really her boyfriend he was a predator

[@bigdaddyfellowsh]

@@azchanna he tried to make her think so. She put a stop to it.

[@Virgo322]

Thank you for sharing. I just had to show up at my daughter's school this morning because of a teacher testing boundaries with the kids. The principal tried to play it off like maybe he was joking. My daughter says she wants to be transferred to another school and I am doing it tomorrow. I told my baby she is so smart to know he is grooming those kids.

[@Queenof-ou2rb]

That's absolutely disgusting,your teaching your daughter right if she knew it was wrong, was he joking about things or was he making them uncomfortable,if that happened to my child I would sue and switch scholls

[@ArthurXiong1]

I just had a revelation watching this. I liked the attention this person gave me. When "it" happened, I dismissed what happened by convincing myself I was young & stupid. I'm just now internalizing this as trauma.

[@samanthabreezy9563]

Hes a sicko 😡

[@cindypowell8978]

Children are not able to see their world as unsafe. As mine had by a lady teacher a lesbian touching me & keeping me after school my parents thankfully stopped it.

[@user-cl9he5ot7y]

Hold up, did I just hear you right? Your 52 years old!!! I thought I was pushing it thinking you could not be a day over 35! And that a true story! I'm sorry ,But I had to say that first. ..... even at his age he was grooming you and I'm so sorry that happened to you.❤ I happy you have a good life now. ❤❤❤❤

[@duhmoan]

No, *he* did things he shouldn't have been doing.🥺

[@thaisbarbosafitness]

You're amazing Amber! Thank you for sharing your story. Wish you the best!

[@neli.rio1395]

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing this personal experience. It’s more important than you’ll ever know. You’re a strong person. Thanks again for sharing.

[@kelleennordquist5697]

I'm so sorry this happened to you BUT even happier that you sought help and realized that you were just a child and couldn't consent to what this young man did. God DID NOT hold that against you.

[@M3GRSD]

Powerful story -- thank you for sharing.

[@kmoon33]

Thank you for sharing your story. My story is very similar. Young pre teen and an almost adult boy. The feelings of guilt like I’m the one who did something wrong is something I really relate to. It took me into my late twenties to realized that yes it was his fault and he took advantage of a little girl

[@julioroblero9140]

Im sure he did thay to other girls too which is so disgusting

[@bigdaddyfellowsh]

Before, during & after the survivor telling her story today. It's a wonder she didn't contract an STD from him.🤢🤮

[@user-em2qp3gc1o]

God bless yall on what yall do always

[@milliesantoss9292]

52? wow she looks good

[@deettaphelps5066]

Yes, I didn't think I heard her right.

[@laurelcamacho1457]

Thank you for sharing your experience.. I was taken advantage of from 6 years old, I'm 64 now and I still think of it..😂

[@StarJohnnyProductions]

What happened to you wasn't your fault.. I'm sorry this happened to you.

[@willow_jayde]

What a smart youngin to know he was the wrong one though! Proud woman empowerment! ❤😊

[@GeekCulture101]

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I know to well how confusing it is. Especially when some of it seems nice. I think they know that and try snd use that and the fear.

[@strikerwoman]

damn. right about the 11 minute mark is so soul crushing

[@user-em2qp3gc1o]

Yall r very beautiful young women

[@brennathecatlover4360]

So in this story the son would probably be about 17-18 I wonder if someone at home or maybe a relative does the same to him? Not saying he’s in the right but usually abusers are abused themselves

[@eveheart2876]

I don’t think or believe he is in the right. Not even one bit regardless of his age.

[@eveheart2876]

He SA her and also use a relationship as an excuse. Secondly 12-19 or even 22 is young. She even said he groomed her

[@jenrich111]

19:20 yes tricked and running game on you. This Lady has learned the ropes of perp/pedo/pimp game strategy to break a person; but victim holds all gulit/responsibility and the perpetrator - with the stockholm syndrome tricks - can hold you bound in sex-trafficking. This lovely woman was blessed with a loving family and God in her childhood- otherwise he could have kept her under that nasty spell for years - not a few months. Yes it was rape - eyes dont give consent. Her mouth said "no" and he repeated it - as proof ❤️‍🔥🕊 we can heal from the worst things and we are all beloved by God.

[@peterkenny3994]

Wow, I would never of guessed your age, I thought you were about 40, what is your secret to looking so young,

[@user-hp9wo2ko9s]

I was 5yrs old when I was physically raped by a family member and that same family member got a chance to mentally abuse me also being that my mother was on drugs and always left me and my siblings at there house. The worst feeling in the world is telling your mom and thinking that it was going to stop but she acted like she didn't hear me.

[@angelshaffer127]

Im Sorry this Happen to you

[@samanthabreezy9563]

Wish kids was braver and stronger so the could have tell their parents when these things starts to happen 😢 i am not bragging but in my country kids mouth very loose the keep no secret. SA in my country is 1% casue most parents/ family very protective when it comes to kids safety. Sad story 💔

[@MetrisGirl]

OMG 😢 omg

[@ericbritton8146]

As the man (Gen 1:26-28) KJV, a husband (Gen 2:21-25) and a father (Gen 3:16), the minister of God (Rom 13), teacher (Eph 4) and one of the survivors who was bullied in school, I am so sorry this happened to you. Every time I see and/or hear anything like this, I see my wife or my daughters. If I could have protected you from being harmed by "it", I would have, but I can not be everywhere all at once. (1 John 4)

[@sandrapalmer4354]

🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪

[@elleshock4571]

How did you not get pregnant?

[@m.b.33]

Not every survivor of SA gets pregnant.

[@johnj.gotti187]

he should of waited til she was 18 & older & she was still a virgin until her cherry popped if there was no blood shooting out then she's still a virgin

[@sandrapalmer4354]
