Message from this Teddy to the rest of the world

Lulu was sexually abused as a seven year old by an unknown person.

As a young teenager her step father used serious physical/emotional/mental abuse and threatened to rape her, to make the mother comply to his abusive demands.
Lulu hid in her wardrobe if her mother was not at home when her step father came home early from work. Her heart raced until she heard her mother’s voice, or her step father go out. The fear of being raped had a long term impact on Lulu. Since those dark days Lulu became strong again and is happy and continues to live a life free from abuse, as does her family.

No longer without a voice, I tell my story although it’s too painful for many to hear. Why didn’t anyone see how much I hurt? How lost and alone I was? I take that scared little girl and walk along beside
her.

When you spend all of your life believing you are worthless it is hard to take that first step to find out who you really are. But…the first step was the best step I ever took. My life now is an ongoing journey of self discovery and learning to believe in myself.

Forgotten asks, “Why did you send me to stay with him?”

Written by Megan on September 2, 2008 – 1:26 pm -

 Forgotten, from age 4Send a Teddy Tag

Teddy’s name: Forgotten
Teddy’s age when 1st sexually abused: 4
Who sexually abused Teddy: grandfather
What town/country it happened in: Thames
Where Teddy now lives: UK
Message from this Teddy to the rest of the world:

He abused me.

I know he abused you too.

 Why did you send me to stay with him?

 These are the truths unspoken between us, this is the question I have never asked you.

 These are the words that lie in the silences between words, so that when we talk, we do not talk.

 So do not ask me why I am so distant.
