 You now have the power...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

That predator took your innocence away from you when he violated you in the horrible way he did, but he did not take away your Being. And neither did your neglectful father. Forgetting what happened to you is unlikely, but you have the ability to turn pain into power. Yes, they both abused you, each in their own ways, but you can now choose to make what those terrible experiences were something of purpose, something meaningful. For example, advocating for others who are in the same situation you found yourself in; lobbying for change that will ensure the safety of vulnerable boys; opening a safe environment for boys who need a place to be cared for and nurtured while their parents are unavailable...to name just a few.

You are still plagued by the memories and emotions of what happened to you; I therefore strongly recommend some form of counselling.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

 I'm going to be the winner over those two abusers
by: maurice

That Lad is one very wonderful and brave human being to tell his story on Darlene's site. Your Father and that so called friend of your father's took your beautiful innocence away from you. You were so vulnerable, so innocent, for your body to be used and abused in the most horrific act by any adult male on a child. He sure took advantage of the trust your father put in him. No child deserves to live with such pain, hurt, from such a beastly act carried out on you. Darlene as always is ever so gentle, caring and understand in her comment to you. I'm going to be the winner, I must begin slowly to build up my own self worth, self esteem and value the wonderful and true male that I am NOW. You must trust yourself to begin with, believe in yourself, I am the most important person in this whole scenario. It was not my fault, I did not want this to happen to me. I told him I did not like these so-called sick games he wanted me to play. He was a very sick individual who took away my innocence with this brutal act on my tender body. Darlene's words of understanding are your stepping stone to being free of these awful memories. Please get help from professional people, allow your closest and trusted friends be your source of new beginnings in your life. Always believe in yourself.
