Guys, this thread is wonderful. One of the most distinct memories I have was my little brown bear named (albeit not very creatively) Teddy. With the chaos of my home, Teddy was very important to me.
I was around 4 when my abuser took him and told me he wouldn't give him back until I had agreed to suck on his cock. I was frantic and did what he demanded. When he was finished and flicking his semen into the weeds at the edge of the woods where he molested me that day, I asked for my bear back. My abuser (my oldest brother who is 11 years older than me) laughed and said he would give it back when he was finished with me.
I never got my bear back. And the Truth is, I struggle with making sure that my abuser IS finished with me. I still cant seem to evict him from my head. I have a tiny little penguin above the visor in my car. He's been there for years, moving from car to car with me. He has no name, but he's important to me. When I was in a REALLY bad wreck (the idiot drove through a red light at 35 mph and T Boned me) about 6 years ago, he was the first thing I saw when the car stopped and I wiped the blood and glass off my face. And before I grabbed my cellphone to call for help, I looked to find penguin.
Thanks SO much for this, both of you. It has been such a relief to know its ok. Im crying as I post at 5am from a hotel 4 hours from home, but this has eased some of my anxiety.
Thanks guys.
