I Was Never Aware Of What He Was Doing To Me - Maya’s Story

In this episode of Unfiltered Stories, a kind woman named Maya Meftahi reveals her tragic life story. Maya was raised by both of her parents, but she had no idea that her father had been harassing her sexually.

I was groomed, when my mother found out ( well she didn't, someone told her) she said: " why didn't you tell me, you must have enjoyed it". Those words, the shame, hurt me more than anything, and those words still haunt me today 50 years after

When I told my story about my uncle raping me. His mother said “she is lying, do you see how she dressed? I told her to stop dressing like that and stop tempting man” I was 11 years old dressing like the church had taught me. Blaming the victim and not the perpetrator is what’s wrong with this society.

I was never molested, but, I remember being so disturbed by something my Grandma said to me. Growing up, I was an Usher in our church and we sat in the very back of the church which put us in the direct line of vision for anyone standing at the pulpit. One Sunday, my Grandma asked me to move because she didn't want the Pastor to be distracted by my pretty legs. I was TWELVE, the pastor at the time was in his 40s! Like.. why are they placating a Pedophile? Was he known for looking at little girls?! I wouldn't be shocked, I learned as an adult that the man who occasionally drove the church bus was a convicted child rapist. He drove my cousin and I to a few events when we were between the ages of 11-15. I only learned this a few years ago when said man murdered his wife....a woman I'd known my entire life.

I do this too. My child is a mixed kid in a white school though. I’m just making sure that no one gangs up on her while she’s on the playground. However, I don’t drive up and down the street. Instead I park my car right beside the playground and wave at my child. About 15 other parents do this too because the children play at the playground around 2 hours before the school day is dismissed and everyone is jockeying for one of the first spots in the car pickup line. I wouldn’t find this strange as a teacher

However, she would still possibly become an accomplice because she didn't stop it. So so sad. This poor daughter going through all of this evil. I pray for Jesus to comfort her.

The sexual abuse lasted into my teens, with as many as a dozen abusers that I can remember, until I stood up and said NO! The mental, emotional and spiritual abuse lasted until I had a child of my own at 28 and I refused to let any of it happen to him, so I walked away from all of my blood relatives.

True. The mother must have known something at least. These things can’t continue happening if it’s not surrounded by complicit people. It’s so sick.

[@findingbeautyinthepain8965]

We have to be cautious though too. I once confronted my friend because her dad went out of his way to make her happy. For example, he’d camp out to get a new release of a movie, book, or device she liked. He was always telling her how pretty she was. He would run his fingers through her hair, hug her, and put his arm on her all the time. My dad is German, and we aren’t touchy people, so it made me uncomfortable. When I asked my friend about her dad, she told a counselor about it, and the counselor called CPS. There was a huge investigation, the dad nearly lost his high profile career, and the parents nearly lost custody. Everything ended up being perfectly normal, he just loved his daughter and was a touchy feely type guy. I’m not saying not to question that behavior. I’m just saying to really speak to the child. Don’t push the idea that something could be happening that they are blocking out, unless the child says they can’t remember chunks of time or blacking out.

But as in this case there are those who know things and ignore them or chose not to pay attention or listen when the kids are struggling or reveal something. There are so many sick people, so little understanding, and so many selfish people who won’t extend themselves or do their job to help a helpless child. And I know from experience that the psychology in abusive families can make it very hard to get any actionable evidence even when you have suspicions.

[@victoryluck]

So true. You want help. You go to your priest because you think that you can trust him. The priest asks you a million questions, and suddenly, you realize that he is getting turned on by talking about it.

We should not only hold to perpetrators accountable, every other adult who claims they "did not know" should be questioned and scrutinized as well. We need way more safe spaces to report and solutions for these crimes to be reported and prosecuted.

It continued to happen until I was 12 and she finally left him but the trauma of my mother not protecting me from this man haunts me!! I figured if my mom didn’t do anything to protect me no one would!! This man was so obsessed with me that he found where we lived and he would leave me gifts and sick love notes and my mom would give me these gifts!! The hardest thing in the world was forgiving both of them, that started my healing process!! Don’t get me wrong I would never speak to him and I would never want to see him!!

They let these perpetrators out after short sentences in prison and move them to another district where they can start all over again with new victims.
