I’m subbing this on behalf of a friend who can’t express the hurt she has gone through her teenage years.
When she hit her teenage years and older brother would put sunscreen on her but then he would slip his fingers into her vagina. She would tell her parents and this brother would say to them ,”No I didn’t, all I did was put sunscreen on her I didn’t touch her there at all." This repeatedly happened and she was called a liar and the one that likes to make up stories. Her dad was a bishop at the time. That was the start of her downward spiral of hating being a woman. Because, in the church having the priesthood is everything. And women mean nothing, Several years later she had a new dress she wanted to show off to a guy who she had a crush on. She wore it on one Sunday. He like the dress and said, “You look so pretty, I want to have you!” He took her to the stage which was dark and then raped her there and he told her to be quiet or people would be hearing. She didn’t know what to do so she complied because that’s all she could do. She pushed him off and said, "Stop, stop, I don’t want this. He said, "I don’t care. I want this. I’m your priesthood leader now." Afterwards, she went to the bathroom to clean up. Then sat and waited to see the bishop (not her dad). She reported her rape to the bishop and he said, “You don’t know the meaning of that word! Repent and don’t take the sacrament for a month." The guy that did this to her got a slap on the back and a wink. She stopped talking to her parents about difficulties of life and has a huge distrust of all people, especially ones in leadership positions. She has spent tons of money on different kinds of therapy to help her. To this day she feels the church did her wrong. She has trouble with building relationships with her family, friends, and others. Comments are closed.
