[quote=Anonymous]Age six I was separated from the group of kids I was playing with by a man who then fondled me and exposed himself to me among other things.  I didn't report it until a few weeks later when other kids in the area reported the man.  My mom remembered me acting odd that day and she asked why I was acting strange and I said a man yelled at me.  I had nightmares and was super fearful about being alone.   She then told me about what she had heard on the radio about this serial molester in the area and I told her about the incident.  Thankfully she believed me, there were witnesses to my abduction and my story hasn't changed a bit to this day.  I had to look at a photo line up and I picked the same man three times.  I also had to undergo a medical exam even though it had been two weeks (very traumatic) and I was interviewd by the police and psychologists.  I was determined too young and fragile to testify and there were older kids he abused.  When my mom passed away I found all the newspaper articles about the case.  I was able to look the man up on google and found out he is still registered as a sex offender.  My case is mentioned in his write up.  He went on to get out of prison and then molest  kids up and down the west coast.  I guess I was lucky in that he didn't do worse to me, but it impacted my life greatly.  I was terrified of sex until I married my husband and even then it took years to be comfortable.  I am also a paranoid mother who checks on her kids constantly when we are out in public or even in our back yard.

age 11-18 when I finally left home.  My stepfather started out with being super touchy fealy with me.  That progressed to very inapropriate comments all the time.  I couldn't wear shorts or a swimsuit around him.  At 13 he made a sexual advance towards me when he was drunk. I refused and he left me alone.  He also tried to open mouth kiss me all the time.  I was always on guard trying to protect myself from him.  My mother excused his bad behavior because she didn't see the bad things.  I tried to tell her, but she made it all about her and how I didn't want her to be happy.  Age 16-18 I stayed at my dad's house as often as I could.  I never told anyone until my mom died.  My brother told me he caught my stepdad peeping into my bedroom and under the bathroom door.  
He never told because he was scared. From what I understand this is common with step fathers.[/quote]
