Well for the people who don’t know last year, 7th grade was the one time in my life that I wish I could change. The year I figured out who I really was and what I really wanted to do. It was also the year I had gotten sexually abused for the 4th time by my mothers boyfriend :’). I’ve noticed my sexual abusers are always linked to my family in some way and they go on for long periods of time :/. Anyways he had moved in with us and stuff and then things started happening like very small unnoticeable things until the big bang of course. Whatever he stopped eventually and my mom and him had a fight he moved out,big relief for me :). This year in the beginning he slept over for like a few weeks and I let my guard down…last time. He started touching me the way he used to when he wanted to make the “move” I was scared out of my mind. I thought I was safe though because it was that time if month well turns out not so much. One night my mom was out until late everyone was asleep except me even he was asleep well he woke up and then the questions started. “where’s your mom?” ” how long ago did she leave?” ” who did she take?” “who’s asleep?” “when us she coming back?” I started having an anxiety attack each time I answered his questions. I avoided him as much as possible until he called me into his room and right when I entered I got a call from my mother “is he awake?” “yes” “tell him to meet me at the store I need help with the bags” “now?” “now” I told him and he immediately left. I literally fell to the floor and had another anxiety attack and all I could think of was how lucky I got tonight :/ he still sleeps over from time to time and now I don’t let my guard down :/

Never let your guard down around people you know are capable of this. I hope you told your mother, if you haven’t, you absolutely need to. If you don’t tell her it’s like you’re allowing him to continue this behavior and you’re allowing your mother to get attached to a bad person. It starts with one thing, but next thing you know he’ll be doing other, worse, things – maybe even to your mom. You should be able to feel safe in your own home and this man belongs in prison. I made a similar mistake, not saying anything – turns out there’s a statute of limitation and after a certain amount of time he could admit to guilt and get away scott free. Then, 6 months, 2 years, 10 years down the line someone will catch him in a truck stop bathroom with an 11 year old and your stomach will turn because by staying silent about it you’re letting this monster get away.
You are SO strong, it’s not what your mom is going to want to hear – but it’s not something you’re going to want to put up with. Please trust me on that.
