Forced to have intercourse as a child, why?
As an only child of a single mother we moved from apartment to apartment for most of my life not always in the best neighborhoods. Since my mom was always away waiting tables, drinking and smoking I spent a lot of time alone, I was use to her having a new boyfriend all the time and to be honest with you I never knew who would come out of her bedroom when I got up on the morning. I seldom had clean clothes to wear and most of the time never even owned underwear unless my grand parents got if for me for Christmas.
When I was 11 years old I was forced to have intercourse with two older boys in our apartment building, this went on repeatedly for about three or four months when we finally moved away. I never told anyone and it was an awful experience. Each time it happened I never even put up a fight because I just wanted it to be over.
Today I'm a young man about to turn 18 and I feel so screwed up. I have never been able to have a girlfriend and my grades are terrible. Once I started going through puberty as a young boy and my hormones kicked in the nightmare only pickup where it left off. I found myself wanting to have meaningless sex with strange men and I'm never satisfied. I found that if I loitered around men's rooms and made eye contact with the men as they were coming and going it was just a matter of time before I would meet someone.
I hate myself for what I am doing to myself but I cant find the strength to stop. It's a risky, hopeless cycle. I feel like I never had a choice on deciding if I wanted to be gay. Even I had I never had a chance on who I wanted to give my self too. Everyone my age seems to be having a normal life but me and everyone is starting to wonder what is wrong with me. I am so ****** up.
Has anyone ever gone through something like this? Is there anywhere I can go to get help? I just want to be normal. I have had thoughts of killing myself. Please help me.
