I was abused by my HIV positive dad | Life Stories

[@angelica3744]

Imagine being so excited to have your father back in your life, only to discover through repeated atrocities just what type of person he is. Not to mention the guilt this person made you feel when he was clearly the perpetrator. I hope it goes without saying that none of this was your fault. I wish you happiness and peace. You are a remarkable human. ♥️

[@lalakuma9]

It's insane that this monster was out after 4 years, what he did should have been considered attempted murder.

[@India.H]

Reduced to 8 due to pleading guilty and only serving 4? He raped a child, knowing he had HIV, not broke into a liquor store.

[@Swansong321]

How brave to speak out

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Can we please stop overusing the world 'brave' please?

Sincerely wishing this young lady all the very best ❤

4:14 “I just took that all inwards, with guilt, that my dad could potentially make himself sick and potentially even die because he wasn’t taking his medication because of what happened with me” This is so unbelievably evil and horrid. I can’t believe what a strong woman she is to have gotten through this ❤️

[@Stephanie-qi7qx]

What a beautiful and brave individual. Thank you for having the courage to speak about this.

[@santacruz7455]

The guy is a psychopath, nothing else. He should stay in prison for the rest of his life.

Bless u my darling ❤ Abuse is strange:- we go back to it - in my case - hoping they will correct their behaviour. They rarely do.

[@HeartfeltMomentsTGG]

I'm so sorry you had to go through such pain. It's heartbreaking how sometimes, we hold onto the hope that theyll change, even when the signs show otherwise. What do you think has helped you the most in finding strength through this journey?

Beautiful, brave lady. Thank goodness your mum was so observant and spotted that things weren’t right 💖 xxx

[@barbarella.artist]

Common - she didn’t notice for 5 years - that’s not a flex - and only noticed cause she saw a text message .. if he didn’t send that message mum would still be oblivious Not saying it’s her fault but she’s far from observant if she didn’t notice any behaviour issues for 5 years 😮

[@rosamoreno4794]

What a monster of a man/father! I wonder what happened to him as a child? Who were his parents and predators? God bless this woman, her kids and her marriage. Just wow! Just like Joyce Meyer, the Christian Evangelist, so sad.

[@angemaidment5640]

Someone who treats their daughter that way is neither a man or a father.

[@behemothsbaby]

Not a father, a monster!

[@Tjalie-j6i]

Jeezzz, I'm so sorry to hear that, just horrendously sickening.

[@lizziewalker7844]

Did the judge jail the same person she’s talking about here? Because he does not deserve to be out on licence.

[@lunalove9395]

He was jailed for 8 years but apparently he's out now and was able to move to a new area and change his name :/

[@HeartfeltMomentsTGG]

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had to witness or be affected by such a painful situation. It's heartbreaking that people like him can sometimes escape the full consequences of their actions. I believe that justice should always be served, but I also wonder, what do you think is the most important factor when determining if someone truly deserves a second chance or not?

[@lizziewalker7844]

@@lunalove9395 yeah I got that which is why I’m saying from her story he should have been locked up for much much longer.

My father got exactky the same sentence. 12 years. But he pleaded not guilty so i had to give evidence over 2 days. This destroyed me. I never got over it. But despite the fact he never admitted guilt, he was still allowed out of jail after 4 years. He moved back to my town and i just saw him one day in wh smith. It was the most traumatic moment. I just ran. The only reteibution in my story is that he died 7 weeks later. A massive heart attack. He had named me as next of kin. The council tried to force me to clean his flat and pay for his funeral. I absolutely refused. There was jsut no way i was puttint my family into debt for this man and i didnt want to touch his stuff. Someone told me he had taken in a cat who was wandering the streets since he died. We went and found the cat. We loved the cat dearly and she spent the rest of her life with us and died aged 17 with her family all around her. But him, he had a pauper council funeral that no one attended. I dont even know whether he was buried or cremated and i dont care. Survivors have very little justice in this country. The court system is a joke and very traumatic for victims.

[@gamergirlmars]

How could a mother invite someone like that back into their life after they left the first time? How heartbreaking for this woman. :( It sounds like getting stabbed in the back by not only one caretaker.... but BOTH failed her.

[@sharroon7574]

This is awful.

[@gabrielleandrew542]

This is really dreadful Horrible stuff This poor brave young woman

[@Lethalport1515]

Are there not laws that give harsher charges for when someone with hiv or other life altering conditions, knowingly ‘sleeps‘ with someone and doesn’t inform them or sa’s someone because it can be a d*ath sentence, or are those not in the UK? I know that there are laws like that somewhere, but I would have thought that when those laws were first introduced, that most nations would have at least started the process of adding them into their system! However, either way, after what he did he never should have been released!!!!!

[@lauriemoore8440]

It almost sounds like she wishes he had not been reported. Something is off here. As a 14 year old, there is no way I would have ever let my dad touch me in a sexual way. I would have told immediately if he had tried anything. She says they had sexual intercourse many times. Why? Why would you keep going back over to his place as a 14, 15, 16 year old when by then, you knew what was coming, time and time again.

[@murdahmammiez]

Just thank ur lucky stars this has never happened to u. If grown women stay in abusive relationships what makes u think a 14 yr old wouldnt ? How dare u even ask these dumb questions

[@net5635]

Are you serious… wow

[@parisinthe30sx]

They aren't exactly wrong though. 14 and 15 is old enough to know right from wrong. Obviously every case is different, I was 13 and told my parents immediately. @@murdahmammiez

[@jaciriley123]

You clearly weren't listening he was grooming her for years before he started touching her that type of systemic manipulation breaks down a person's self worth, identity and boundaries that coupled with extreme fear and shame and the fact she was still a child and you are unclear as to why she didn't speak up? Wow you really are ignorant, way to victim blame.

[@RobertMesa-fu9oy]

It's called the the Stockholm syndrome where the victim gets attached to the perp

[@ohhdah5219]

I understand being so upset the first time it happened but why would you keep putting yourself in that situation. At 14 you knew it was very wrong.

[@manchesterminx01]

she was a child! Are you seriously trying to blame the victim here? Unbelievable!

[@ohhdah5219]

@ she wasn’t child enough to know it was very wrong the first time it happened. He reinforcing that by apologizing profusely…I’m a monster, etc. even at 14 I never ever would have gone back to that. The whole father thing was new to her. She had a stable life at her mother’s. She didn’t have to go back.
