Sexual Assault Was Still A Child...

[futurefocussed]

I was eleven years old when the transference shifted, when I started taking on adult burdens and responsibilities.
Over the next few years I became more of a wife to my father, not sexually though from what I can remember.
There was this one guy, cliff, who saw me as fair game, that I was dad's wife in an emotional capacity. Cliff started making comments, then started putting his hand on my upper leg. I told my dad and he didn't stop it. I was 11!!! I wasn't even in high school!! And I had this old guy feeling me up!
And my dad didn't stop it...

As I sit here watching my 3 lovely daughters sleep in the car on my ride home (passenger not driving) as I read this, I can't help but think what kind of monster would treat his daughter like that. If someone put their hands on my 10 year old you would not have much luck prying me from their throat. I am so sorry you went through this. I don't know your father, but he sounds like a piece of rubbish.

You should have been protected. I'm sorry you were failed.

My dad brought it up tonight and now I want to scream

I was a kid! I was a flipping kid! He was my dad he was meant to protect me from him and he didn't! I needed him to do something! But no he just tells me to stay away from him and he still spends time with him he doesn't do anything! Like it was my fault because I was the one who had to change. I told him the truth tonight I told my dad the truth that I didn't tell him because he didn't do anything to stop it the first time...

So not right. I'm sorry you were put in that position then and that it still weighs so heavily on you. Not your fault! He should have done something, you're right. I'm really sorry you're hurting.
