This is not a nice story, but I'm feeling particulary articulate (ha ha my spellings crap) so..whatever, I feel the need to tell this.
When I was six years old, we were about to move from America to Australia. My brother and I were left at my Uncles place one day while my parents were off to do whatever it was they had to do. My older cousin was left in charge of all the kids. My cousin was about 14 years old at the time. He wanted to show me his cubby house, which was in a shed that had two bunk beds. Two of his friends were there. First they asked me what game did I want to play. I said doctors and nurses (I can't remember why) So they took off my clothes and started kissing me on my breasts. Because I was only a child, an adult undressing me was not a threat and the kissing part I didn't understand but I accepted as something adults do (to a six year old a 14 year old is an adult). They then made me lay on top of them as one by one as they put their penis in my crack (ok I know this is confronting but victims of child sexuall abuse have to deal with this). The whole time they were saying "isn't this a fun game" I went along with it because, well they were the adults, they were left in charge so they knew what was right. After a while some more of their friends showed up. I was only six and I could only count up to ten, so I don't know how many were there. My Cousin tried to get them all involved in this. Some did, some didn't. When I started to protest about it, my cousin said he could bring my brother into the cubby house and do the same thing to him. I remember looking out of a crack in the wall, seeing my older brother playing and not wanting him to go thru this, I kept quiet and put up with it.
Later when my parents picked us up and took us home, I didn't say anything because I felt I was a part of it. I remember that night I put all of my teddybear's and dolls around me in a circle because they were going to protect me. Now, If a man gets a glassy eyed look around me, I get scared. And this was so many years ago... My cousin, who now has a wife and children, lives a happy normal life, and I'm left as an untrusting, scarred freak. I think if I ever came face to face with him, I would kill him. |
