I am sharing my story as I was raped by my babysitter. She was female and I’m female. This is not uncommon and yet so under recognized. My life has been in turmoil as a result. I don’t trust women and I rarely feel safe around a female. I’ve been through counseling but find I am very threatened by women. I would like to put the word out there to women who have children. Please protect your children. I was to terrified to have children because I didn’t feel that the world is safe enough for me to bring a child into. I’ve lost so much as a result of the rape. I’m successful in my career, but carry shame with me still.

My heart goes out for you. Tou are a brave person by speaking out- good on you. I’m sure you’ll help avoid this happening to other children by sharing your story.
As a mother of 2 girls I’d like to ask what are the signs to look for in a babysitter?
Thank you,
God bless

I can very much relate to being assaulted as a female by a female. It was a classmate of mine, and for the longest time I didn’t think it was “wrong” because she was my best friend. We put a lot of trust into people, especially of our own gender.
It’s incredible that you’re speaking out, breaking the silence of this abuse as so many can relate but are possibly too ashamed that it wasn’t a “typical rape”. Because no rape is “typical” and it can happen to anyone, even those who are of the same gender to one another.
Thank you so much for sharing this story, I feel so much less alone.
