My Mother Was Gangraped And I Witnessed It.

[gaurav006]

The most horrifying incident occurred in my life 2 years back when I was 17.

Me and my mom were at home when some intruders break in to our house at night. They took us to our living room and tied me. There were six of them and they turned towards my mother. She was stripped naked and was raped by them for hours. They forced me to see her getting raped. They took naked photos of her.


Later they were caught and were severely punished. Its been 2 years now but its still hard for me to get pass that. I cant get it off my mind.

Please post some help for me regarding this.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I am so very sorry for what you and your mom endured. You came to the right place for safe help and support, it has helped me so much. My hope is that you will feel comfortable to share more of your story here and get it out of you. It is nice to meet you.

That is horrific. I am so very sorry. I imagine many would be left with all sorts of feelings on top of the horror. In some ways I think seeing someone else we love be hurt is worse than when it is ourselves as we feel even more powerless. These criminals know that of course.

Both you and your mother are safe now and I wish you healing. Don't let these animals win.

I am so sorry you and your Mum had to go through that, it is horrific.

I hope you find this Forum helpful. There's lots of great advice and support and lots of people who understand these horrendous trauma's.

I saw my little sister being abused, it is horrendous being helpless to stop it and have to watch.

My heart goes out to you.

I am sorry to hear this Gaurav. What steps are you considering to take?

You can see psychiatrist, any counselor. Do what makes you feel better and also initiate this all procedure only when you are in a ready position to move forward.

You can ask questions here and know you are in a place to receive good emotional support also.

Wow. That's about as bad a trauma hand as can be dealt. I'm shocked, saddened, and unbelievably sorry to hear that happened to you both.

It is going to take some time before you begin to feel good again. So be kind to yourself and to each other. It's going to be a bit like walking around without your topmost layer of skin - everything is so much more threatening, and your reactions will be much more sensitive, the tiniest touch or incident (emotionally) may be agonizing. A good therapist for each of you can be a great ally. So, too, your support network of your closest friends and family, the people you can confide in and call on for help. You may well need their help to truly heal. Avoid people who are too judgemental or anyone who makes you feel bad for a while. That may be most people.

There's lots of strategies and suggestions for addressing your issues. Learn about them at your own pace. Do not rush anything. There is no timetable.

Wishing you peace at the end of this hard road you are on.

I am a survivor of severe, prolonged, sexual child abuse beginning at age 5. I too witnessed my mother being raped. I was 10 yrs old. When I was 13, I was brutally, sexually molested (gang-raped) by 5 men.

I have healed since then, and want to offer you my support and understanding. Please feel free to pm me, if you feel comfortable enough and wish to chat privately. *(If not, I will completely understand)!!! I also understand how deeply traumatizing such experiences are; the shame, the guilt, the anger, the feelings of helplessness are not lost on me.

I may be a man, but I am one who is dedicated to being non-abusive, (especially towards women and children).

I'm so sorry for your pain. I hope that you and your mother both find healing from the trauma and I offer you my heart-felt prayers for peace and comfort,
Lion

I couldn't imagine this would happen in reality....I am so sad to hear this.....To my experience, I just used to have feeling of 'It's going to be a bit like walking around without your topmost layer of skin' .....It's unfair for those who experienced such misfortune, as the saying goes,God is the mother of some people but the step mother of the others......
