Erin's Story

Hello. I am 23 years old. 4 days before my 16th birthday, Some friends of mine threw a party. I thought I was going to have a great night, who knew my life was about to change forever. I was what you could call a "wild child". I thought life was about seeing how f***** up you could get in a night. I went to the party, and immediatly lit up a joint and started doing shots. The night continued pretty much like that, I was having a blast. Later on in the party, I started feeling really sick, so I went into my friends bedroom, layed down & passed out. Even though there were many people I didnt know at the party, I figured I was safe, since it was my friends house. Boy was I wrong!!!

I felt an enormus amount of pain all of a sudden, which woke me up to find someone (I have no clue who he was) on top of me & inside of me. I screamed & tried to kick & push him off of me. Not wanting people to hear me scream, he choked me until I passed out again. Now I am actually thankful he choked me...At least I only remember 3 or 4 minutes of the attack. I woke up sore & scared, with bruises around my neck and on my face. I dont remember him hitting my face, maybe that was after he choked me.

I was terrified to tell anyone. I already had a reputation of being "easy". I didn't think anyone would believe me. I went home and showered until the water was ice cold, but still felt dirty. I put it as far back in my mind as I possibly could. No one would ever know, all the hurt would go away, right?? At least thats what I thought at the time.

About 6 weeks Later I found out I was pregnant. I was dating someone at the time, so I was praying it was his (although he was nothing to write home about either). When I had my beautiful son, (who has blond hair & blue eyes) I thought oh no, what if it was "his" kid?? My B/F then was hispanic. I put it out of my mind...no way could I get pregnant from rape...no way. But the wonder was always there.

When my son turned 4, I decided I couldnt live without knowing. I tracked down the guy I was w/ at the time and had a DNA test done. My worst nightmares came true. My attacker is my sons "sperm donor" (I will never be able to say father regarding him, He doesnt deserve credit for such a wonderful boy). The night I found out, I finally told my story for the first time to my (at the time) fiance.(now we're married) He was so supportive & didnt make me feel dirty at all. He said he will always be here for me, and it doesnt matter if I dont know his "sperm Donor", he (my hubby) will always be his daddy.

I am now in counselling, and doing well in my recovery. I just had another baby (a beautiful girl), and while being pregnant again brought back alot of memories, I am very greatful for both my children. I dont know where I would be without them. I'm writing this in hopes that it will help at least 1 person not to feel alone. I felt alone for way to long, but now I realize I am a SURVIVOR...And SO ARE YOU!!!!

Love Means Everything's Story

The first time I was raped I was six. My parents and I went camping at this beach that had heaps of caves and dolphins and stuff.

I'd gone to the beach by myself and these two guys that were camping too came walking down the beach and said hi. They had either coke or beer with them, I can’t remember which. They talked to me for a while and then one of the guys asked if I'd been kissed before. I said no so he told me to lie down.

Next thing I know he's sitting on top of me and wanking and the other guy is pulling my dress up and my pants down. There is a big sausage red thing in his pants. It is pulsing and his hand is moving it up and down really fast. And then he tried to stick it in my mouth but I started yelling. I kept wriggling but he wouldn't get off me and then he splashed white stuff (cum) in my face he put his hand over my mouth and the other guy is putting something up me and it really really hurts and I try to scream and there is nothing but scaredness, I am so scared so so scared I am going to die I am 6 and I already know I am going to die his hand is there and I can't breath and the man slaps me in the face and tries to suffocate me and everything is going black but I wriggle too much it hurts so much the man is pushing whatever it is in and out of me and fuck it hurt. He is heavy on top of me, the other guy. I kick him so they let me go and walk away.

So I go to the toilet at the grounds and there is blood running down my legs and my throat hurts so I go to the tent but mum and dad are mad that I've gone away so Dad takes off his belt and whips me and I cry and cry but they think that I am being naughty. They don't care enough to look.

told my mum the whole story a few months ago because I told the police about it when I was raped again last year and they tried to find the men but my mum just said that I was a liar and that I was evil because I wouldn't be a virgin when I will be married and that if the police came around she would say I am crazy and a liar. I made a statement but I didn't pursue the case because my dad rang and said he would make my life miserable if I hurt my mother. But it was me that got hurt, not her. I don’t know if it was a bottle or a penis. And I don’t think it matters. It was penetration and it damn well hurt. That’s all that needs to be said. It’s rape as far as I’m concerned.
