 Tabitha:
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

What this boy did to you is not considered child abuse under the circumstances; it was sexual assault. There are some who will try to blame you for what this boy did because you snuck out of the house at midnight. Don't ever believe them. While it was wrong for you to sneak out and meet someone, it will never make what he did to you your fault. I'm glad you know that, but I feel compelled to say it here because others might make the mistake in judgment; I won't allow that. What's important is that you get help for what happened to you. It was traumatic, and it has left you with repercussions; repercussions that may well grow in severity as you go through the various ages and stages of your life. Trust will be, if it isn't already, a major factor, especially trust of males. You didn't disclose what country you're in, so all I can offer is a suggestion that you contact one of the hotlines listed on my stories page, depending on where you live, in order to talk to someone confidentially. At the very least, the counsellors at the hotline should be able to point you to a resource that can offer help. You didn't deserve to be sexually assaulted, Tabitha. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
