Yeah women have to stop being so f*cking desperate for men. It's ridiculous. A LOT of men are weird so you have to watch your child. As a single parent father or mother you need to create a comfortable space for your child to tell you if anything is wrong. I always said when I have children, when they are little and are able to talk, I will tell them if a grown up, even your father if anyone touches you on your private area or anywhere, I don't care if they tell you not to tell me, TELL ME. I don't want my child going through NO sh**. It's already bad he touched her once, he should have never been able to touch her for YEARS. Her mother is a typical desperate woman. I know she knew something was off, women we always can pick up on things. Awful "parent".

[@lisalucas4375]

You are a courageous survivor!💐 My mother had 5 children. Out of the five, four of us were sexually abused either by family members or “close” family friends. My father would squeeze my breasts when I started to develop them. He said he was checking to see how much they had grown. I felt uncomfortable but if I didn’t go, he would whip me. My parents later divorced, but that left my sisters and I vulnerable and open prey for those who harmed us. No child should go through CSA. It breaks my heart to know that it’s still continuing in todays time. Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you love, happiness and security🪻

I don't understand how so many mothers don't know that their child or children are being abused, but yet women say they have intuition when their husband's or boyfriends are cheating on them. I find that very odd. A person can make themselves believe that nothing is happening because they rather do that, than to deal with the situation and be there for their own child or children.

[@grebuys9705]

How did your mother not know? Your own friends saw that something was not right and that he was a disgusting creep. I feel like your mum knew something was wrong but still decided to just ignore it but then again how can you do that to your child? Mothers always believe your children and always choose them and do what is right for them. Im sorry for what you went through as a child . You are a Suvivor, God bless you ❤.

My Mom still lives with him, I am 45 now. the abuse started I was two months shy of turning 9 and and continues until I went to live with my dad at 13. started having the really bad nightmares six months later. I still have trouble with being touched, my whole body will tighted up and freeze even my grow kids hug me its automatic. cant use a box shower that has a door, for being locked in one untill 30 mins before my mom got home because I wouldn't let him in.

Wow....I've NEVER heard an abuse story so similar to my own😔

[@feliciaperezauthor]

I’m sorry! I’m sure we’re very much alike, unfortunately.

Im so sorry 😢😢😢 praying for you ❤

@@PrincessAfrica3 thank you. I’ll pray for you as well.

You're so resilient. I hope you can find peace, somehow, in this life given

[@loriraemorris4142]

You're amazing!!❤

[@feliciaperezauthor]

Thank you.

[@Whathowwhenforwhomwhatpurpose]

Thank You for telling us about you. You just gave me an emotional connection to things i've only logically deducted in my thoughts earlier. Very strange feeling, kind of both a very heavy load on me -and relief - at the same time. Life is a strange journey.

[@feliciaperezauthor]

I’m sorry. I never wanted to bring on more emotional distress onto anyone. I was in a turmoil when he got out of prison last year and I did a lot of research trying to understand myself. It’s not an easy feeling.

Thank you for being brave and telling your story as to help others that are suffering as you did…

🤮🤮🤮disgusting his identity should b exposed so won’t b able to show his filthy face to the world 🤬I’m so sorry for ur horrible childhood n shame on the mothers who r busy working but don’t have the common sense to notice how their children r behaving 💔💔💔💔

[@lauravazquez1955]

God bless you for sharing !!! You are a beautiful woman and I’m so sorry you went through that horrible nightmare. I went to a similar situation and I also didn’t talk about it till I had a stalker follow me when I was 12 . I grew up feeling disgusted by mens hands . We are survivors and all that made me strong by God’s mercy !!! Later an uncle tried to take advantage but I physically fought back and he became intimidated and never tried anything again. May Our Lord heal you completely!!!!!

[@alexmiller8177]

I'm crying so hard. Thanks for sharing your story, so sorry.

[@feliciaperezauthor]

Thank you!

[@courtneycaliber9864]

I was abused for years as well and grew up in a Christian home too. God doesn't do anything bad, it is man's free will to choose bad decisions and Satan's influence on them... God has saved and delivered me from the emotional pain and destruction caused by my abuser. I have chosen to forgive him so I can move forward and not have to live in that constant resentment and relive those moments. Praying for you all to be healed!

[@stayingalive4lifehill.r328]

I am so thankful you stood up and shared your truth. I know what it is like. As a victim of my own abuses and a mother of kids. Don't stop telling, till you feel strong.

My mom New I was assaulted and she never did anything to protect me. Mothers always know and many choose to keep it quiet. So demonic.

[@user-md9sz4dr5h]

Thank you for sharing your story. you are a strong woman.

[@coleeisenbrand2083]

My opinion is, now that you have a better grasp on what your step-father did to you, there is a chance you can still prosecute him.

[@feliciaperezauthor]

I wish. I talked to the DA. he said that I had 10 years from the time I turned 18. So I’m several years too late. I tried.

[@dontbelongherefromanotherp9807]

Only if the statute of limitations hasn't expired for prosecution

[@Aelffwynn]

The fact that there is a statute of limitations for these crimes is absolutely TERRIBLE. It's a violent crime. The only reason for a statute of limitations is to protect PEDOPHILES. To me, that's a huge fight we must win. No statute of limitations for these crimes.

[@feliciaperezauthor]

@@dontbelongherefromanotherp9807 I think right now there is no statute of limitations in texas. But we still have to go by the statue of limitations at the time the person became an adult, which is dumb.

[@feliciaperezauthor]

@@Aelffwynn you’re so right! They’re only there to protect the offender, not the victim.

Poor little girl. You had your childhood stolen. God bless you, I hope and pray your forthright account saves many children from this evil. ❤️🙏❤️

[@aces553]

Of course your mom knew. They always do.

[@feliciaperezauthor]

I didn’t live with her full time. I spent the school year with my dad and some weekends/holidays and all summers with my mom. When I turned 10 I was with my mom full time. I believe they were signs that couldn’t been seen but I think she truly trusted him and didn’t know. Looking back she knows there were things she missed. We’ve always been close though. She kicked him out the day CPS was notified. I don’t blame her though. I only blame him.

[@keplersdream901]

@@feliciaperezauthor I’m sorry, but that’s crap. She knew. I realize you need one parent to care for your own piece of mind, but eventually, you will come to the realization that she rationalized the whole thing. Ask yourself how it was your much younger friends knew something was amiss, yet your mother, who was married to the pig, did not. No one sane believes your mother.

[@donnawhitney9356]

If your mom herself was molested she may not have known. Since she wasn’t protected she didn’t know how to protect. This is a fact. In research of SA this is a proven fact. There are mothers who do know and they don’t care. So you’ll most likely never know what is true. So sorry for you pain. I too was abused and was in therapy for years to learn how to be sure the next generation didn’t repeat it.
