abuse

I'm sorry but this is probably want you're not expecting to hear .... but if it were me or my own then I would make sure the son of a ?????(perpetrator) got what they deserved. I'd employ the biggest muvva to serve up a bit of rough justice to the maggot .... then all would be square (not fair but square) If it's good enough to receive then it's good enough to give .... in my books. ... btw, I wouldn't dwell on the fact that my parents didn't believe. It simply isn't worth bringin' ya down any further.

I was abused by my mothers boyfriend and at first she didn't believe me. It was very hard to deal with. I became a problem child and I did things to get attention and to get back at her. She believes me now. But like someone already said, don't dwell on it. Do you have any close friends you can talk to. My friends were what kept me from going totally insane.

I have been in the same situation myself I was told I was wrong and had instigated that thankfully he was not a very close relation,so I stopped going over and staying at his home.I never could understand my mom's reason though but now I feel I can understand her reasons.She didn't want to make it an issue because she was alone and insecure and knew no matter what society is going to point fingers at her daughter only.She had made me shut up. I am not saying she was right but I will say she was trying to be protective in the only way she knew how to. I have forgiven her now after 20 years.Its a long time to heal but you have to movfe on and be strong in yourself.Know it in your heart that her believing is not so important but your belief in yourself is too much important.Let her be what she is you made a wise decision to move away and get on with your life. Do not carry that person in your heart or mind,otherwise he will molest you over and over not from outside but from inside.Leave that moment behind and allow yourself to heal.Do not keep in contact with that person in any way mentally or physically. If you can mentally detach youselffrom that person he will cease to matter to you and you will find peace.I hope you get healed one day like I did.

I was raped for 2 years by my Grannies Brother when I was 5 I was raped again when I was 16 and I never told anyone till many years later As I was told at the age of 5 if I told anyone they would give me away as I am naughty and at the age of 16 I knew I would not be believed as it was a good Friend of my Parents and at the time they believed everyone but me

I would probably stay away from my parent. That would crush my heart to pieces.

if i told my parents something like that and they didnt believe me that would probably make me really mad and i would leave and not talk to them no more.

I would definatly try to convience them, if not I would tell someone else, that is such a hard thing, I think that is why lots of kids don't tell, they are scared no one will believe them.

hummm...if they didnt believe me..I would tell my teacher, my friends and if i was close i would tell theer mom ro dad..i was really close with my friends moms..the word would get out and your parents would end up gettin a boot in the as$ for not listeing to you in the first place

I would have probably killed myself right there

I've have been is this situation, you can tell some people until you are blue in the face, but you can't make them listen or believe. I find it easier just to warn people, that live around that person, to watch out for their children.

I've been through this actually and its been goin on for many yrs (I first told her when I was 13, both my sister and I did but my sister ended up downplaying it and I became the ungrateful bad seed)....What did I do? suffered for a very long time...but I stand my ground and have since then and I refuse to live under that rock that my family lives under...

I think a lot of times people don't believe things because it's too painful. If your parent feels guilty like they didn't protect you it may just be too hard for them to admit to themselves. It's actually pretty amazing how many people are revictimized by people not believing the abuse happened. But pressuring people won't help and it will probably make things worse, so I would just try to resign myself to allowing them to believe whatever they believe and try to remind myself that it's probably a defense mechanism and more about them that you. They will probably eventually be able to face it.
