Congrats for being able to talk about your experience. It took me a long time to confront my abuser and come to terms with my abuse at the hands of my father. Now everyone else in my life knows and what a blessing it is. Everyone knows why I am the way I am and my life makes sense now. It so easy to talk about now and freeing! I can go on with my life and not have that hanging over my head anymore! I hope your message gets out and other victims can be free from the pain. Thanks for your message.

Wasnt there another football player on Oprah sometime ago speaking out about being sexually molested as a child? I think so. I also think it happens more than people care to admit.

i know how difficult it is to actually tell anyone - but once it is out there - it feels wonderful to tell people! you are not the criminal - the molester IS the criminal. 30 years ago - no one talked about this. It was a "secret" not to be shared! Now - thank goodness and sadly that we need to discuss this with our children but it is out in the open and we are better educating our children!!

Since Kindergarden I had asked experts in school to help me with my son who was not able to pick up his learning skills and as the years went on he was becoming worse with not learning anything. just a year ago I started to ask for help from school phys. he did a phys. evaluation and came up with post tramatic disorder due to adult video games but,I could never figure it out and kept out reaching to other doctors for help. you see my children do not play adult games but, it didn't make sense to me I knew something wasn't right so I kept on trying until 1 year ago my children were over grand moms house were also lives their my childrens 17 year old uncle.anyway my son who was 9 and his brother age 11 and my self visited mommom and it was normal for the boys to play video games in the room now listen this 17 year old f--- was only down the hall from were me and his mom my kids mommom were sitting talking and I will never forget that day because my 9 year old was playing a video game I thought and my 11 year old was acting strange he wanted to leave I thought because he knew we were going to the store and of course he always wants something when we go now this day was on a Saturday. so meanwhile me and my 2 boys leave and go to the store and the boys seemed fine until Monday night my 11 yaer old was following me in every way he could finally when daddy left for work I was painting and he said something that made me stop dead I could not move I then called my 9 year old son downstairs and asked him to please tell me if any of this is true. you see on that day we were over mommoms my 11 year old went to go play video games with his brother (9) and his uncle 17 when he went into the room he saw the 17 year old sexaully abusing his brother thats why he was acting weird that day and wanted to leave. I did the right thing I listened and called police. now The Uncle age 17 at that time now 18 a Lenape high School student in medford NJ who resides on Willow Turn in Mount Laurel NJ was arrested but, before he was I called him for the police to see if he would admit it and he did what a sick person he then went to work after that at Lumberton Walmart like nothing was wrong. So the next day he was arrested but because of his age he got shit for time and as far as the family goes they think I'm a bi--h for not telling twell I just found out that this jerk was hurting my son since kindergarden now this explained everthing this sexual predator had brain washed my son and smiled in my face. I am a very very angry parent and the Justice system should have given him 00 years however he might be out before graduation at lenape this year because he is a senior at the high school and I want the message out there for parents to know this because he committed a crime and should not be allowed in the schools he distroyed my family and he should be punished. my sons doing well and I will keep a close eye on him for further counseling if needed because he already went threw 17 weeks of therapy but, I believe there should be more help out there for the parents whom suffer to and I feel that it should not matter what age the person is whom committed the crime of sexaul abuse should be sentenced as an adult because, chances of him doing it again to someone else is extremly high especially when his mom is buying for him and feels he was just experimenting how sick is that screw her she also needs help too he was not he is a criminal.I may be talking alot but, telling people and talking to my sons about everything gives me peace of mind. My so had lots o therapy and is right on level now. Thanks to some real caring therapist.

Go to your school and speak with a guidance counselor. They will contact the proper people and get help.
