Download or read book The Incest Diary written by Anonymous and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout her childhood and adolescence, the anonymous author of The Incest Diary was raped by her father. Beneath a veneer of normal family life, she grew up in and around this all-encompassing secret. Her sexual relationship with her father lasted, off and on, into her twenties. It formed her world, and it formed her deepest fears and desires. Even after she broke away, even as she grew into an independent and adventurous young woman, she continued to seek out new versions of the violence, submission and secrecy she had struggled to leave behind. In this graphic and harrowing memoir, the author revisits her early traumas and their aftermath - not from a clinical distance, but from deep within - to explore the ways in which her father's abuse shaped her, and still does. As a matter of psychic survival, she became both a sexual object and a detached observer, a dutiful daughter and the protector of a dirty secret. And then, years later, she made herself write it down. With lyric concision, in vignettes of almost unbearable intensity, this writer tells a story that is shocking but that will ring true to many other survivors of abuse. It has never been faced so directly on the page.

The statistics on sexual abuse in the United States suggest that such crimes are perceived as socially acceptable, despite laws to the contrary. Thirty percent of women are battered at least once in their adult lives, while four million girls and women are trafficked annually. Seventy-five percent of employed battered women are harassed at their jobs by abusive husbands or lovers and half of them are murdered by these mates. At least twenty percent of women have been victimized by incest. Victims of Sexual Assault and Abuse serves as a reference guide for professionals working with victims and perpetrators. Topics addressed include assault within marriage, courtship violence, abducted and runaway youth, violence against pregnant women, cyberspace violence, and sexual harassment of students and employees. This multivolume set promotes legislation to break the cycles of violence and dispels myths about victims and perpetrators. Preventative programs, policies, and educational programs are emphasized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O'RISE: Overcoming Rape, Incest, Sexual, & Emotional Abuse explores the physical and psychological trauma of being physically, emotionally, and sexually abused as a child. It examines the ramifications of decades of mental illness. It examines the life of SA Ballantyne: a mother, a daughter, and a grand-daughter who struggles to endure life as she knows it. This will unearth the roots rather continue to move infertile soil. This is about one person who in the process of 40 years became 5 different people in order to save the life she was given. For this is a story of a girl who was raped at 5, molested at 6, 8, and 12, and endured years of physical violence. A child who would learn to split personalities as if they were her friends. For this child would endure physical violence from birth and being strangled at the hands of her father at 15. She would grow to accept violence as a form of love in her first relationship as a teenager. She is what you would call "unevenly yoked"; mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. But her medical diagnoses list her as being Bipolar 1. Having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. One who suffers from severe anxiety. One who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and to cope with the trauma of her life; she suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. This woman at the age of 40 struggles with the victims in her head, who have endured the trauma of abandonment, sexual violence, and physical torture. It is now time to unite that which has always protected me; me. I am a child searching for the innocence that was stolen from me. I am struggling through my preadolescence phase with sexuality due to the rape and molestations. I am fearful that no one will protect me in my transition to adulthood. I struggle with rage, guilt, and shame in defense of all that has happened to us. It is now that I must unite rather than continue to untie my life as it was. It is time for my healing and restoration. We can no longer live as separate entities; fighting to survive and existing within this body called self.
Download or read book O Rise written by T. D. Bennett and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine being five years old and learning your alphabet in preparation to read. But what happens when rape steals your innocence and sexual and emotional abuse are becoming your only learning tools. Where do you turn to for courage? Who do you turn to for strength? My past is a reflection of who I was and God's Light is a reflection of His future for me. Consider this: the act that connects you to your enemy is control. Forgiveness is squeezing the life out of the control they once had over you and forgiveness is giving yourself permission to heal. When you forgive, you regain all that was stolen from you and you are now in control. Those memories you have harbored in the depths of your soul; forgive and let go.
