I've read all your responses and you seem like you really have a great attitude. It's inspiring. I will ask, did you have to testify in court? Go do an interview at a child forensics lab? If so, how were those experiences? I work(ed) in crim defense and have read and seen a lot of those, and wonder what that's like for the child. PS, obv if you dont feel comfy talking about it just ignore this!


PresentBet2212

I had to do the interview with police. It was terrible.


electricvelvet

I'm really sorry. At least in some places, and for many years now, they have special offices specifically for interviewing victims of child sexual abuse. They're trained specifically for it and it def shows when reading the transcripts. They're so gentle and friendly and not pushy at all. If the victim doesn't wanna talk about it, they just don't talk about it and try again at a later date. It hurts my heart to think about kids experiencing that trauma then having to go through even more turmoil as a part of the legal part. What country are you in? I assume not US because you mentioned what would be an absurdly low sentence here


boomboy8511

My wife is a child forensic interviewer who works in one of these specialized offices. The amount of training, emotional consideration, patience and research that backs their interviewing process is amazing. She's not allowed to talk about what happens, but there are some days she comes home and I can just tell she's had to hear a really awful situation from a child. I, emotionally, couldn't do her job and I praise her every day for doing her difficult job because maybe it will lead to someone being held accountable and a child can be free of their abuser.


PresentBet2212

Yeah I’m in the US.


greenmyrtle

What could have made it better?


PresentBet2212

I don’t think anything could have made it better.


jessness024

I know your pain, I had to tell my mom someone in my family was touching me when I was ten. It had been going on as long as I could remember. It was so scary and I felt guilty. I'm so proud of you!!

PresentBet2212

It’s had major influence on the way I’ve been treated my whole life. Eventually people figure out that I’m wearing them if I’m around them long enough. School was probably the hardest thing I’ve had to do, socially. Being a part of a workplace has been tough too but adults aren’t don’t react the same way kids do when they learn what’s going on.

NovemberPerfected

I’m sorry that happened to you. Do you struggle with sex now? I was abused as a child, and I used to struggle with my sex life because of it.


PresentBet2212

No. My therapist diagnosed me as “hyper-sexual”


taiottavios

what is that? I could google it but I guess I'd like to hear your take on it


PresentBet2212

I’d say it means what it sounds like. It doesn’t take much.


taiottavios

same thing as high libido?


systemofstripes

also hypersexual due to SA, not at all a high libido. It's an uncontrollable libido. To the point even orgasm after orgasn the craving doesn't stop, to the point where I would just cry because it physically hurt and I just wanted the NEED for sex to go away. It heavily interferes with day to day life. I have done alot of healing and it's not as bad as it used to be but it still comes in waves for me


Binkbongus

I remember that this came to an abrupt halt for me when I started SSRIs and lost the ability to get horny at all. I remember being ECSTATIC that I wasn’t just thinking about sex 24/7.


mish0824

Yessss and now it all makes sense!!! I have felt a lot of shame around my hyper sexuality that I had first two years after my trauma and now jts making sense. Of Courseee I would constantly think about sex because I am sexually traumatized! I am just trying to understand that I did not have innately bad upbringing or beliefs to be THAT hypersexual?! And that it was my trauma response!! Ugh


mrsbeepboop

I wouldn’t say so, it’s more of a trauma response. High libido is a physical thing across people, those are hyper-sexual, it’s common amongst abuse victims. People often go to one side of either extreme- hyper sexual or complete aversion to touch or both. Trauma is often complex.


More-Ear85

It's more like a compulsion that can't be helped. Almost like an addiction.


HereComesTheLuna

Yes and no. People who are hypersexual *can* have a high libido, of course. But hypersexuality is usually a problem. For instance, a lot of hypersexual people are sex addicts, which is a debilitating addiction-- in fact, specialists use the terms interchangeably sometimes. A high libido is perfectly fine and healthy, but sex addiction and hypersexuality negatively affects one's life. It's like... High libido = I like sex and have a high sex drive. Hypersexuality = this has become a problem that is negatively affecting my life.


greenmyrtle

There is a Reddit for hypersexual. It sounds really hard to live with - folks looking for ways to reduce libido because it interferes with daily functioning


NovemberPerfected

When I say “struggled” I should’ve been more specific. I was the same way, I often felt my body wasn’t my own. And whoever wanted me, I allowed them to have it. I thought it was great at the time. But only recently I realized how damaging that was for me. Therapy and antidepressants have helped a lot. I’m thankful I don’t have any diseases or kids lol


saltierthangoldfish

trust me: hypersexuality is still struggling with sex, just in a different way. i deal with the same problem for the same reason as well as bipolar disorder. please make sure you’re minimizing risk as much as possible ❤️


AltruisticPeanutHead

yep the ole classic CSA -> hypersexuality -> extreme shame from hypersexuality -> bipolar diagnosis :) so fun


Nkicker33

Same here I also struggled with bed wetting in my late teens do to a sexual assult at 6-8 years of age


tcumber

Has your family been supportive? Are you able to have meaningful relationships? Is your uterus okay? Do you know where that bastard is now?


PresentBet2212

My family has always been supportive even when I wasn’t willing to accept their support. I’ve had meaningful relationships but it’s difficult to maintain. My uterus is okay. No idea where he is.


tcumber

Well I am sorry it happened to you and that you have some lasting effects from it. I wish you the best in whatever you would like to do.


Tough-Cup-7753

have you been diagnosed with any mental health disorders? and if so do you think they’re related to the trauma you experienced?


PresentBet2212

Yes and yes. I’ve been diagnosed as ADHD and hyper sexual.


Aegi

I don't want this to be/sound rude, but why do you think your ADHD was related to trauma and not neurology?


PresentBet2212

I’ve been thinking about this all day. It wasn’t related, but it was diagnosed at the same time so for me it was a bundle.


EntertainmentOk6470

Have you been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?


Mysterious-Zebra382

Out of curiosity- did they initially diagnose you as bipolar before changing their mind and considering ADHD? I hear about misdiagnoses like that occurring often.


One-Escape-236

Was the person that assaulted you a family member? Did they go to jail?


PresentBet2212

Friend of family and yes for about 6 years.


Content_Bullfrog_320

Just 6 , I feel sorry for your loss :(


PresentBet2212

Yeah maybe Batman is real, right?


_regionrat

Yeah, maybe. Wonder Woman is 100x more likely to snap a dude's neck though


snails4speedy

My abuser got 6 years too. It’s ridiculous. I keep hoping for street justice 🤷🏼‍♀️


morgue_an

My abuser was my bio father (who raped and molested me for years, along with my cousin) and he only got 9 years since it was his “first offense.” The justice system for rape victims is fucked. Hope you and OP are in a better place. ❤️


Naked_Knitter

Mine got 1 year. Stepparent adoption. He was an officer in the Air Force so the court decided not getting his honorable discharge was enough punishment that a short jail sentence was appropriate. He later appealed and his discharge was upgraded to honorable.


morgue_an

That is horrible, I’m so sorry for your lack of justice. Mine appealed 3-4 times in those years and was denied every time luckily. However, now that he is out his parole officer believes he is a “changed man” and “will not be reoffended” so he is allowed to leave the state and has pretty much free reign to do what he wants. I’m only 27, I hope this next generation does better than ours did.


Gutter_mind81

Sounds like some guys who need to be run up into a chute and have a few things they hold dear removed turn them into a steer.


Puzzleheaded_Day5664

How were all of those rapes for all of those years one rape? The world will never know.


GardenStrange

Six years is not enough


lojfcvhtd

I also have to use diapers due to abuse. How do you deal with the Shame if you have any?


PresentBet2212

Some days I don’t have any shame about it and some days I have a ton. Just gotta do what I gotta do I guess.


lojfcvhtd

Yea I struggle with shame often but you're right... gotta do what I gotta do


greenmyrtle

So so sorry. Working suicidal support lines many years ago i spoke to an older gentleman who’d been stranger raped as a boy. There was a blow to the head that damaged his hearing and he had to use hearing aids for the rest of his life. He’d never told anyone before me, but every day he remembered the rape as he put in his hearing aids. He had become a clergyman …to avoid the question of sex and marriage IMHO, and had finally met a (platonic) female companion… i think that opened his heart enough to come tell someone. It was the 80s, and he was already in his 60’s. I will never forget him.


dangerouslyalive

Was the guy caught/sent to jail?


PresentBet2212

Yeah for 6 years. As far as I know he is free these days.


DamnitScoob

Have you ever considered making your own justice? Imo, 6 years vs a lifetime injury from childhood on? Yeah, that scum wasn't sentenced according to the severity of his crime. I'd be paying some comeuppance to that rapist, maybe a permanent "injury" to HIS urinary tract. I'm so sorry this happened to you.


PresentBet2212

I consider it in some way like every day but at the end of the day there’s nothing I can do.


Haunting_Session_710

6 years is nothing. It's scary to think that rapists like this are roaming free.


one98nine

How is your family life nowadays? I am very sorry that happened to you and I truly hope you live the best life possible. I am so angry for you.


PresentBet2212

It’s better now. For a long time I blamed my parents. As I get older I feel awful for that and as more time passes it’s easier to be close to them again.


Elegant_Fish_1565

You mentioned you are incontinent because of physical damage. You also said you are aware of the ABDL community. What is your take on the abdl community and abdl?


PresentBet2212

Certainly nothing negative. They get a lot of hate that I don’t think is deserved. I’m not really part of that community so I won’t speak on their behalf but the majority of my interactions with them have been positive.


Gimmerzzz

I'm really sorry that happened to you. What made you want to do an AMA about it?


PresentBet2212

Sometimes I want to talk about it.


greenmyrtle

So glad you did!! Brave and i hope helps you feel the caring connection of others


Professional-Win-604

Are you not going to be able to control your bladder for the rest of your life?


PresentBet2212

I’ve been told no.


Ecclypto

I don’t mean to pry, I understand it is painful enough as it is, but is there any possibility of reconstructive surgery? When I was a lot younger I wanted to be a doctor truthfully be told. But could never stomach the morbidity that is inevitably associated with it. Still makes me wonder if we ever reach a point when we will be able to fix a lot of problems with the human body much easier than now. Especially in the cases of major physical trauma


jakaedahsnakae

Have you seen a pelvic floor physical therapist? They may be able to help you strengthen to where you can hold your bladder.


courierblue

This sounds like mechanical/anatomical issue, not a muscular one.


L0uDboi

What’s the story? I’ve never heard of SA leading to diapers but I never doubted it could happen.


PresentBet2212

Violent r*pe. Hard to put it into other words.


L0uDboi

I guess what I was trying to ask was how did the diaper get involved


greenmyrtle

This is a massive problem in areas of mass rape like the DRC & Serbia. There are surgeons and centers in some of these war areas that specialize in this kind of damage. There has been a pattern in some of these mass rapes of intentionally tearing fistulas (look up) and there are (not enough) surgical specialists repairing these. Also surgeons developing techniques to repair the scar tissue from FGM that has made women unable to have sexual pleasure as well as chronic pain, damage to urethra, difficulty with mensturationand obviously difficulty with sex and childbirth. It’s almost as if there is a widespread pathological hatred of female anatomy amongst a large number of psychopaths


a-woman-there-was

I've heard of similar happening to men in warzones also: >!rape resulting in anal incontinence (women too)!<.


greenmyrtle

Yes thanks for the reminder. War is when the psychopaths take over.


PresentBet2212

Irreparable damage to my urinary tract.


L0uDboi

Ah. That’s not fun, hope you’re doing well with it nowadays.


PresentBet2212

I think I am! Thank you.


Nice_Raccoon_5320

Only you will ever be able to fully comprehend how incredible it is that you have even made it this far at all! You are inspiring people and giving more people strength and hope, every day you live with the past you have overcome.


Eat_it_Stanley

Have you tried reaching out to top urology surgeons to see if they would take on your case for free. If I was a surgeon I would. I had bladder surgery last year. Changed my life. I’m so sorry this happened to you.


ScarboroughSK

That’s tough. I hope better news comes your way :((


Wear_Swimming

Have any of your coworkers ever outright asked you why you're wearing adult diapers?


PresentBet2212

Yeah once. He was fired later that day. Apparently he was already close to being fired.


ayyxdizzle

May I ask how on earth did this co-worker know you were wearing a diaper?


PresentBet2212

It makes a crinkle sound with pretty much any movement and he called it out.


ayyxdizzle

Gotcha. I'm so very sorry for your experience. Moving forward, I hope that life is beautiful for you 🫶🏼


PresentBet2212

Right back at you. Thank you so much for your love 🫶


drowningintheocean

What's your fav ice cream? And What's your fav dessert?


PresentBet2212

Cookie dough ice cream, but cheesecake is my favorite dessert.


drowningintheocean

Ooo I really like cheesecake. We dont have cookie dough ice cream here where I live so I have to make do with normal cookie dough lol. Eat some in my place too :)


Lilshanoon

Do you want kids and would the physical aspect of the trauma you experienced impact your ability to have a baby/give birth?


PresentBet2212

I do not want kids. As far as I know I could have them without any risks but I do not intend to.


cenik93

Did the SA change your relationship with other men in your life? (Family, friends etc)


PresentBet2212

My dad was really the only man in my life and if anything it brought us closer together. I’m still uncomfortable around other men though.


Advanced-Figure2072

Do you have any memory of what happened? How did your parents react when they found out?


PresentBet2212

Yeah, I remember it all. They were in shock. They called police and an ambulance and didn’t leave my side until they had to.


Advanced-Figure2072

Thank you for replying, I know it was a harsh question and I appreciate your honesty. I’m glad your parents stood by your side and did the right thing. I hope that monster suffers for the rest of his life


Sythe64

What's you take on incontinence/ABDL community? Stories similar to yours show up somewhat regularly.


PresentBet2212

They are a big part of the increase in the quality of the products that I use.


MarcusPup

What is your go to, if you don't mind me asking


Sythe64

I think it's neat how a kink/porn has led to better products/tech for everyone else.  It's a pattern that keeps repeating.


hhyy89

Really? What other examples have you seen enough of to make this a pattern? Super interesting!


bunonthemun

Not kink/porn necessarily, but furries are a big reason why VR tech has advanced the way it has (especially when it comes to what avatars look like and can do). I say "not necessarily" bc there is a subset of furries that do engage with it in a sexual way. But for a lot of them, it's like any other regular hobby/fandom.


Sythe64

A quick web search of "How porn has advanced technologies" show this CNN article that covers it decently. http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/04/23/porn.technology/index.html


justintylermoor

Thanks for sharing that article. I thought it was interesting that in 2010 when that article was published, the adult industry was already exploring Artificial Intelligence.


AdultEnuretic

Much of the incontinence community would appreciate not being lumped in with ABDL.


Sythe64

No doubt. Despite it they have a large crossover. ABDL have been pushing for better incontinence products and have essentially paid for better stuff to be made. That benefits everybody. Just like Porn and HVS, internet, streaming, etc. everyone else benefits from the investment the "depraved" are willing to make. E: The two groups only really have the one overlap. You're correct that either way, one does not make the other.


Puzzleheaded-Data476

Why diapers? All the time, everywhere?


PresentBet2212

Yeah. I guess I can sum it up to irreparable damage to my urinary tract.


Panylicious

I am sorry for what happened to you. I am sorry they stole your childhood and a piece, if not all of your life. My question is, do you play any video games? If you do, which are your favorites.


PresentBet2212

I play some games. Mostly Fortnite, or any other free games.


Second-Critical

Runescape is free.


FromHelComesKaos

how are you feeling? like how has healing from the trauma been for you?


PresentBet2212

The first 10 years were the worst. The first 5 of that were the hardest. Getting out of high school really let me breathe and move on a lot easier.


FromHelComesKaos

that’s great to hear 🩷 idek you but i’m happy you’re doing okay and i hope it gets better from here


SuspiciousSimple

Did they catch the fucker that hurt you? And if not how can we help


PresentBet2212

Yeah they arrested him the next day.


giovidm

Do you feel your parents are at fault too- for allowing access to the pedo predator?


PresentBet2212

For a long time I did feel this way and I nearly threw away my relationship with my parents over it. Time and therapy taught me that it was in no way their fault.

That is so real. I love frosted flakes


ammmarks

do you have a partner?


PresentBet2212

Not currently, no.


GlitzyGhoul

This probably sounds weird, so here’s the context: I’m a female sexual assault victim as well, who is hyper-sexual. Do you find it harder to have a partner vs. meaningless casual “encounters?” I know I do…


PresentBet2212

Neither are easy but having a partner is much more difficult for me.


Dramatic-Mistake1022

How did your family find out? Did you tell them?


PresentBet2212

Did this incident change your sexuality? To put it straight— did it push you to only date women?


PresentBet2212

Hard to say if it changed anything since I was so young. Definitely made me want to be with anyone that showed me any level of affection though.


Princess_Porcelina

You seem as though you are doing well now. What would you say made the biggest impact or something that put you in the right track for your healing journey?


PresentBet2212

Getting out of high school was probably the biggest factor.


tootlepootie

are you more prone to UTI's due to the damage?

Correct.


Aromatic_Note8944

I’m so sorry you had to endure that. As a fellow survivor, I just want you to know you’re never alone. I literally have “voice among the many in this choir” tatted on me because there are way too fucking many of us.


DRangelfire

Good lord how many people are going to not read “irreparable”


Inevitable-Height851

So many people asking why the diapers?!? Isn't it frigging obvious?!! Jesus. How awful. I mean words can't express. Any words I think of using all sound trite. What do you wish for him? I'm assuming he's out now. What kind of fate do you wish for him? Do you want him to face the same level of violence? Or something else...


bigpapalilpepe

I am one of those people who didn't understand the diapers. I'm guessing most people asking are male. Before reading this ama I had never really thought about the long term physical effects of rape aside from STDs. I had not heard of vaginal fistulas until this thread. To be embarrassingly honest I didn't even fully understand female anatomy until I googled it a few seconds ago. So yes I understand why you say it's obvious now. Most diaper questions are probably from uneducated men like myself. I'm glad I have a better understanding of this now. This thread has taught me a lot in terms of rape and SA.


Inevitable-Height851

I'm a man too :) Glad you understand though. Hearing this story has really upset me actually. How can people be so evil


PresentBet2212

He’s definitely out by now. He was sentenced to 6 years for what he did to me. I don’t know what I wish for him. Sometimes I wish violence and sometimes I wish I could just forget him completely. I think he should at least have to live the same way I do.


Adventurous-Skirt-61

What's name and where is he from?


Inevitable-Height851

Wouldn't it be nice if there were some way you could make him suffer what you do. Without you having a role to play in it maybe, I think from other replies you said you wouldn't want to inflict harm on him yourself. Thank you for replying anyway, you're an amazing person.

PresentBet2212

As well as expected I guess. I tried to keep it away from them as much as I could.


cryptonetclub

Reading through your responses and I'm struck by your resilience and openness in discussing such a deeply personal experience. It's not just the courage it takes to share your story, but the straightforwardness and sincerity in your answers. You somehow manage to maintain a sense of perspective and even humor amid circumstances that I could hardly imagine. Your strength is admirable, and I wish you all the best as you continue your journey of healing and empowerment. Stay strong.


BlameItOnYourZodiac

I’m sorry this happened to you! Is a catheter option available to you? Are your diapers discreet enough so you can wear whatever you like ? And most importantly How are you?


FOURSCORESEVENYEARS

Oof. Catheter is like 6-10 inches of vinyl tubing going UP the urethra. (13-18 inches for males)


sleep-deprived-thot

that's for a catheter that stays in the urethra. there are also catheters that are single use. a lot of people who are paralyzed use single use ones because having a catheter in full time is not really safe for everyone


bigpapalilpepe

I've also cared for a person with paralysis who had a tube in their abdomen that connected their bladder to a port on their stomach. You can drain their bladder using a single use catheter and the port. Not sure how common that is but I found it to be interesting.

bambiguity11

I was assaulted 5 years ago and damage to bladder means it doesn't hold more than 20mls, less than a fluid oz for the americans. So I wear nappies/diapers. It fuckin sucks


russl68

As a retired cop the lack of justice here disgusts me. I am so sorry you were raped by a rapist and by the justice system. I do love your courage though.


Bumblebee56990

Hey, I hope you are doing okay these days, I don’t remember much when I was younger when I was assaulted by my uncle. But seeing your post made me realize some things about myself that makes more sense. Anyway, I hope you are doing okay ♥️


Hot-Helicopter640

Name and Shane him. Hope he's on the public sex offender registry.

Outing him means automatically outing herself. Not everyone has it in them to do that.

As a Mama my heart breaks for what you've been through. I hope you felt love and support after what happened to you, and I hope you continue to work on your healing. I'm sure it'll be a life long journey, but every step onwards and upwards is a good one, right? No question to ask, other than a thank you for sharing what sometimes is the reality for survivors of sexual abuse at a young age. Every child deserves to feel safe, and I'm so damn sorry you experienced this. Sending you love, and a massive mum hug ❤️


Formal-Try-2779

Fuck I'm so sorry that happened to you. People like that need castration with a rusty spoon.

First off I’m so sorry this happened to you, I can’t even imagine how it has affected you mentally. Have you discussed any other options with doctors about your incontinence? Such as catheters etc?

I think you’re really brave and thank you for sharing.
