survivor of sex abuse in 1975 / rape survivor of 1989
Original Story
it actually began in the summer of 1975 when I was 8 years old. my {~brother~} came to home on thackeray court in the sheridan parkside projects. My brother {~brother 2~} had just got his license and was so happy that he brought my brother along. while mom, {~brother 2~}, and my {~sister~} were outside, i was upstairs playing with my star trek playset, when {~brother~} came from the bathroom and asked me if I wanted to play doctor. I thought he meant the child's version of it, but he meant the grown-up version. so he asked me to take off my clothes then started feeling my naked body, touching my genitals and feeling my penis, and then said to me this is how people have sex. He then said some very filthy sex talk like you would read in hustler magazine, then said don’t tell mom or I’ll say that it was your idea. so mom and dad never knew about it. there was no police report or rape kit taken. fast forward to september of 1989 when I was 22 years old, my brother {~brother~}, his {~girlfriend~}, and their 6-month-old baby daughter came up from {~florida~} and stayed with mom and me for 3 months. And when mom was at work, they would rape me every night for 3 months, sometimes by her, sometimes by him, or sometimes by the two of them together. It was 90 days of hell every night. When I would go to bed, all I would think about is wanting to commit suicide just to make it all end. but I did not because mom finally found out about all of this in march 2012 when I turned 45 years old just for the simple reason he said that he would kill her if i said anything. So in june 2012, I started going to counseling because i was diagnosed with p.t.s.d because of it. i still go to this very day, 12 years later because sometimes my p.t.s.d flares up from flashbacks or because of the 4th of july fireworks and I talk to her about it, hold nothing back.
