When I was fourteen years old my neighbor who was 36 started slowly pushing a sexual relationship onto me, i tried to stop it once but I started crying when he got mad and Basicly begged him to forgive me. It went on for two years, I felt like he was the onlyone who cared about me my mom would call me a whore and ridicule me everyday. She would wake me up just to ridicule me. I would clean and cook then do school work but it was never enough, I was grounded and not allowed to see my friend who was visiting because we had to go to court. I'm not going to get into a lot about what happened but I was frightened and I consented to him because I knew what my mom would say, she would do exactly what she did so I never said anything. I thought I fell in love was devastated when I watched him taken to jail, he was the only one who did anything for me. ( not talking about sex here he would buy me tons of things I would have to lie to mom about where I got it our how did I have lunch money) I have been going to therapy on and off. So I have a question for you ladies was I rapped or was this man wrong accussed because I was too much of a slut to keep my legs closed? I am going to be brave and not post anon this is the first time I am openly admitting this and to be honest I am terrified to.

For me it's the age difference 14 and 19, 5 years that's not far and common for many relationships later in life but 14 to 36 is sick and wrong. I think those are two totally unlike situations and I'm very sorry about what happened to you.

I happen to agree! I mean at 14, I was young, dumb and immature. What I THOUGHT love was.....was actually NO WHERE near the real thing! HE was an adult and HE knew better! YOU were a CHILD!

I definitely consider it rape. At that age you are not as wise to the manipulation men use as you are when you're adult.
I'm very sorry that happened and it's very brave of you to share. I hope the wolves stay away.

It is ok, I am comming to terms that I was raped and was used because I had no self esteem.

At 13 I was in a very similar situation (almost exact) but the guy was 19.  He manipulated me and I honestly had no idea what was happening.  He acted first like he wanted to be my friend.  Then, he would buy me stuff and my friends were impressed he could drive.  I never even knew what sex was and had never seen a penis before. I was very naive and I didn't realize what was happneing and just shut my eyes after saying no and shut down and let it happen.  After that, we stayed together for a month- max where I would just shut down and let him do what he wanted .  Now I look at him like a pedophile who lured and manipulated me into that situation, and much later he was charged with rape of another little girl like me.  Rather than helping me, my mother told me I was a whore and made me so ashamed of what happened.  I wish I had support so I could have helped the other girls he hurt as well.  I thought for the longest time that I was a whore and could have prevented it.  I was so ashamed and had issues for years because of it.  Now I look back disgusted at every adult who turned a blind eye to it.
