</figure> </div> </div>  <div class="story__content soft--top"><p class="">I know I've tried to avoid you for a while. Even when we're in the same gathering, I try to act like I don’t notice you. </p><p class="">Even if I have to greet you, I avoid looking into your eyes. I'm sure you must have noticed this too. </p><p class="">I have memories of my childhood with you of the days we would play together. You were my cousin but I also considered you a friend. </p><p class="">But one day, it all evaporated. </p><p class="">I remember how aggressive you were when you asked me to look into your eyes while your hand was inside my shirt. My legs were shaking in fear and I couldn’t move. You held my arm so tightly that I almost started crying. </p><p class="">Do you remember how I ran back to my room immediately? From that day onward, I thought that I was to blame for what you did to me. </p><p class="">I was scared and didn’t know who to talk to. That night I cried until I fell asleep. </p><p class="">That was the last time I ever looked into someone’s eyes. It’s been almost 11 years and I still feel embarrassed to make eye contact with anyone. </p><p class="">I feel as if people can read my eyes and know what happened to me. And I don’t want to be reminded of what you did to me. </p><p class="">Did you ever think of what happened to me after what you did? I couldn't swallow my food during lunch that day. My heart was beating so fast that I could hear it in my ears. </p><p class="">It has been almost four years since I accepted that what happened to me was abuse. My teachers at university helped me understand what abuse is by talking about it in class. </p><p class="">But it’s still too difficult for me to talk about what happened to me with anyone. I tried though, and all I could do was hate myself even more. </p><p class="">The guilt and embarrassment is slowly killing me from inside. </p><p class="">I know blaming myself isn't going to help me escape my demons but it has become an addiction as it helps me function for a while. </p><p class="">I don't know why I'm writing this but my therapist told me I should start writing how I feel. </p><p class="">It’s been three months since I’ve been writing but I still don't have the right words to express my ordeals. A part of me accepts that it was abuse, but another part of me still thinks that it's all my fault. </p><p class="">I wish I had the courage to ask you why you do this to me. Was it how I dressed that provoked you? Or the way I use to sit or walk? Or talk? I really want to know. </p><p class="">I am afraid that I will be abused again. I have panic attacks because of my fear of rape. </p><p class="">You changed me, and I swear I miss the way I was. Before the assault, I was a confident and an energetic person. </p><p class="">I thought you wouldn’t do it again. But when you were dropping me to my friend's house a few days later, you suddenly stopped the car and shoved your hand between my thighs. I tried to stop you without looking at you, but you just laughed. </p><p class="">I still remember your squeaky voice when you said, “I love to see you scared”. After molesting me, you told me, “don’t make me do this again.” </p><p class="">It was my fear that turned you on, right? But you blamed me for it, and for a long time I thought it was my fault. A part of me still does. </p><p class="">I have been reading about abuse and I know now that abusers put the blame on their victims. That’s exactly what you did as well. </p><p class="">I still feel scared even when I know I'm safe. I’m afraid to talk to my male friends even though I know they are trustworthy. My heart starts pounding while asking my male teacher a question. </p><p class="">I feel that the way I talk or even move my hands may seduce sick minded people like you. That’s why I try to stay invisible. I am scared of my own existence. </p><hr> <p class=""><em>A version of this blog was first published on the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161222052243/http://blogs.tribune.com.pk/story/43943/a-letter-to-my-abuser-you-took-advantage-of-me-and-made-me-believe-it-was-my-fault/">Express Tribune</a>.</em> </p><hr> <p class=""><em>If you have been a victim of sexual abuse, you can contact the following organisations for counseling: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161222052243/http://www.rozan.org/?q=managing-programs">Rozan</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161222052243/http://sahil.org/free-counseling-services/">Sahil</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161222052243/http://www.madadgaar.org/default.html">Madadgaar.</a></em></p><hr> <p class=""><em>If you have suffered from abuse, or if you are a counsellor, write to us at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161222052243/mailto:blog@dawn.com">blog@dawn.com</a></em></p> </div>  <div class="instory-ad"><div>  <section class="widget theme widget-adsense " data-type="adsense" data-id="552"> <div class="widget__container"> <h2 class="widget__container__title"><span>DAWN_VIDEO - /1029551/DAWN-RM-1x1</span></h2> <div class="widget__container__body">  <div class="ad " aria-hidden="true"> <div style="max-width:1px;max-height:1px;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;overflow:hidden"> <div class="radWrapper ad__wrapper"> <div id="div-gpt-ad-1455520357400-10" class="ad__wrapper__slot" style="width:1px;height:1px"> <script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1455520357400-10');

Many will get courage from you to turn on to the the offenders.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="Sajid Sajjad Abbasi" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply caps text--gray"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast soft-half--sides text--gray caps" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4342082">Recommend</span><span class="button__count votejs__count text--gray" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4342082">0</span> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom border--bottom" id="4342108"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <span class="comment__author size-four caps float--left text--gray">Arun-KS</span> <span class="timeago comment__date caps size-four soft-half--bottom" title="2016-12-21T12:05:47+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2016-12-21T12:05:47+05:00">Dec 21, 2016 12:05pm</span></span> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"><p>You have perhaps only found fear inside you.

There are countless girls like you who were abused because they didn't know how to get help and where to complain. The parents have a big responsibility in teaching kids how to look after themselves and to tell them if anything inappropriate happens. Our problem is we don't get confidence of our children, who think the parents are some sort of scary creatures whose only role in their life is to send them to school and buy them a livelihood. This is not about making new laws and giving stringent punishment to the culprits. This is about getting parent take more time out of their lives and get closer with their kids.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="NaveedKhan" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply caps text--gray"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast soft-half--sides text--gray caps" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4342327">Recommend</span><span class="button__count votejs__count text--gray" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4342327">0</span> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom border--bottom" id="4342328"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <span class="comment__author size-four caps float--left text--gray">Munaj Akmal</span> <span class="timeago comment__date caps size-four soft-half--bottom" title="2016-12-21T12:59:13+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2016-12-21T12:59:13+05:00">Dec 21, 2016 12:59pm</span></span> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"><p>Its commendable that you wrote and raised your voice in such a clear way and all what happened. you must not stop raising your voice, me my self am doing same raising voice against abuse to women and human rights.

We love copy cat, have anybody seen any research paper by our universities? What are the fundamental cause of this? Most of the abuse cases are caused by cousin, classmate, neighbor, teacher and fellow workers respectively. Why? Because we mingle more than required. Abuse of domestic worker especially children, abuse by elder relatives and by boss-type is psychic nature of those persons. That can be curbed also by law enforcement but other causes, one must look at whole picture. Yes I do agree that suppressing the natural feeling and artificial moral values in pure land are superficial. According to my experience more than 80% of our society only teach ethics or religion to others but they never practice the same.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="Khan" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply caps text--gray"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast soft-half--sides text--gray caps" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4342482">Recommend</span><span class="button__count votejs__count text--gray" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4342482">0</span> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom border--bottom" id="4342503"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <span class="comment__author size-four caps float--left text--gray">bkt</span> <span class="timeago comment__date caps size-four soft-half--bottom" title="2016-12-21T13:47:35+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2016-12-21T13:47:35+05:00">Dec 21, 2016 01:47pm</span></span> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"><p>Quite often the abusers themselves have been abused.

If someone takes it from you, without your consent, it is not the same thing is it? Notice the subtle difference, that is called CONSENT! What happened to that girl was wrong. She didn't agree for it to happen, you can't use friendliness (btw cousins are considered brothers and sisters in most other cultures, only in our country they are allowed to marry), dressing or any of the stupid excuses.

Your thoughts are commendable but the problem of sexual abuse, however condemnable, can not be solved by over simplification of two genders relationship through simple equations of mother/son or father/daughter & brother/sister bonds as there is yet another much more stronger & compelling facet of nature which is preservation of species through irresistible magnetism between two genders. The Western society has decided to surrender on social & religious mores in favor of almost absolute freedom yet still sexual abuse does persist all around. The only way to defy this malaise is to have some reasonable distances between these two highly mutually attracted genders, driven by force of nature, but unfortunately that by many in modern world is argued against being utopian or worse still cave mentality though in my opinion nothing would be more utopian than let the two sexes intermingle freely and expect them to defy the compelling force of nature to irresistible unity.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="syed zafar kazmI U.S" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply caps text--gray"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast soft-half--sides text--gray caps" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4343724">Recommend</span><span class="button__count votejs__count text--gray" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4343724">0</span> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom border--bottom" id="4343749"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <span class="comment__author size-four caps float--left text--gray">saad</span> <span class="timeago comment__date caps size-four soft-half--bottom" title="2016-12-21T21:04:19+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2016-12-21T21:04:19+05:00">Dec 21, 2016 09:04pm</span></span> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"><p>When i was 12 year old boy My maternal aunt used to made me naked and play with my body.i knew its wrong but i consider it as being loved and never think about that until i get matured.</p> </div> <div class=""> <input type="button" value="Reply" data-name="saad" class="button button--short push-half--right comment__reply caps text--gray"/> <div class="button button--social" title="Recommend this comment"> <span class="button__label votejs__cast soft-half--sides text--gray caps" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4343749">Recommend</span><span class="button__count votejs__count text--gray" data-vote-key="1303407/up-4343749">0</span> </div> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  <div class="comment soft--bottom push--bottom border--bottom" id="4343785"> <div class="grid"> <div class="grid__item nine-tenths"> <div class=""> <span class="comment__author size-four caps float--left text--gray">Hassan Hemani </span> <span class="timeago comment__date caps size-four soft-half--bottom" title="2016-12-21T21:15:33+05:00"><span class="timestamp--time timeago" title="2016-12-21T21:15:33+05:00">Dec 21, 2016 09:15pm</span></span> </div> <div class="comment__body cf"><p>I don't exactly know how you feel because I've never been in this situation.
