First I want to let you know that I agree with the others who have written...we are here, we are listening, and we will not judge you. You are right that you are not bad. You do not deserve for him to be hurting you, and you do deserve for it to stop. I am sorry your parents do not believe you...unfortunately, that is common. Dibella had some good advice regarding finding someone else to tell...the police or a school counselor. Does your abuser live with you? If so, you can contact the Department of Human Services to get you or him removed from the home. Keep in mind that not all foster homes are good homes, but there definately are some good ones out there as well. In any case, you deserve to be safe. If there is anything any of us can do for you, please ask. I know we are limited here online, but we are here, never-the-less. I hope you will keep us posted on how you are doing. You matter.
Peace,
Terrie
