- Today on Unfiltered Stories, our guest is Pattie Martins, who shares her story of surviving CSA at the hands of her father. From such a young age, she knew that the way her father touched her was wrong and very inappropriate. Pattie struggled because of this experience and her family being indifferent to what happened to her. Years later, her father's confession on the phone gave her the validation that she needed.

Thank for letting these brave people tell their stories 🥲
I'm a rape survivor. I just want to tell all sexual assault & abuse survivors that I don't see your pain as "less than" mine. Each situation is different, but we have all been through the same type of pain and violation. Please never believe that your feelings are any less valid or any less worthy of compassion & empathy.
I'm so sorry you went through something so traumatic but I admire your strength. Keep on moving forward. ❤🌺
I absolutely agree. I was trafficked as a teen, but I left home because of abuse I didn’t know was abuse. I was labeled as a delinquent because I kept running away, and when adults asked what was wrong, I didn’t know. It’s terrible that her grandma told her to apologize, if she had any doubt. At one point, I got lucky enough to get into a therapeutic treatment in Dallas, and they understood that if a child says one thing they probably haven’t even scratched the surface. I didn’t think I deserved to be there, though. I thought I was the problem. I tried going back home and it didn’t feel safe, and got turned out when I left. Police didn’t know about commercial child sexual exploitation, back then. They called us teenage prostitutes. I was subjected to a cavity search as a juvenile. I finally met with a woman who ran the first agency helping women off the streets in my area, and she knew about the SA that usually occurs first and asked the right questions. She called a social worker, and it turns out my abuse and neglect were “severe”. I was taken out of the home. If that had never happened, I probably wouldn’t have known how wrong it was. No one grows up with the self-awareness and confidence that they know what’s what, especially not before the internet. Some victims aren’t allowed to access it for that reason. I, too, tried to tell a family member that something was wrong and was punished. That shouldn’t happen to anyone. I am sorry this woman had to go through what she did, as a girl. She was in an environment of persistent abuse, and traumatized. No child needs to hear that they’re wrong to speak up, or be dismissed if there was not penetration. I lot of abusers fear they’ll go to jail if they do that, but do every abusive thing they imagine think they can get away with. It doesn’t make it any less traumatic for the victim. It can be even worse to be told you’re making it up and that, basically, anything else someone wants to do to you is ok. I was raped and told that I asked for it. Denying someone’s trauma is never ok.
TY for this kindness to others sex victims
I was molested by my stepfather for 7 years. The things he did were horrific. The damage he caused will be lifelong. Recovery isn’t easy but necessary. My voice was never heard but it is being heard now. One person at a time. I’m strong enough now and want to share my story to continue bringing awareness. Please choose to fight against molestation/ sex abuse WITH ME!, My fight is just getting started. This fight (for me) is no longer about my abuse, it’s about the society that failed me and my determination to bring awareness.
Stop Sexual Abuse
It's not all the same tho... Actually long time sexually abusive relationships with a close family member cause more severe mental illness (cptsd and d.i.d.) than one incident no matter what it was. Good thing you don't think that, because rape is definitely not always the worst, especially if the victim is already an adult. Anything that happens when you are a child causes more damage.
I went through the exact same situation as a young teenager. It was all verbal flirting, disgusting conversations, staring at me & inappropriate behavior. I felt so uncomfortable in my own home, & it’s absolutely awful. It’s abuse in my eyes.
My heart goes out to you & thank you for sharing your story. 🖤
how could a father look at his own daughter that way? his own flesh and blood? humans are scary
i wish i wasn’t a human
My dad was kinda like this too .. but when I was way younger, like 3-5. They are predatory criminal minds. Possibly psychopaths and sociopaths, maybe also sexually abused when they were a child and because of that they have paraphilia's: sexual perversities. Human sex drive is very strong especially for men, so if you think about the fact that their main sexual turn on is something perverse, well of course they will act on it.
Yeah. It is unbelievable to me too. Just unbelievable
Maybe his own Father look at him the same way , it can all be generational
@@infinitewonder305 how horrible that the cycle sometimes repeats itself
I had my father inappropriately touched me in my preteen age and I know exactly what she is talking about. When you trust and love a parent and they are supposed to keep you safe and they cross the line and break that trust it is an emotional scar and a pain that you cannot explain. I did not tell anyone what happened but my grandmother knew something happened. I remember getting very angry and being very guarded about my personal space permanently. Till this day I do not like people coming up and hugging me, if they have any attraction to me I can feel that sick feeling which makes me very uncomfortable. The emotional trauma that sexual abuse does is as bad or worse as the physical act.
Do not spend any time in his presence. And make it clear to your relatives that you never want to hear his name again. Stay strong.

That is so sad her mother failed her,A mother’s duty is to protect a child even if it’s from her own father!This is so horrible!
Your truth is your truth! Do not let ANYONE change your story!
My mom was sexually abused growing up by her brother, and she said the worst thing is that she told her parents it was happening; her brother was going in her room and touching her at night. She said it was so awful because she was not believed, and her parents just acted like nothing was going on. Her brother denied it, of course. They didn't punish her but they didn't believe her either. How awful. I'm sorry you had to grow up that way.
😢 my mom went through the same thing. She was abused by her brother and my grandmother didn't believe her. One day she decided enough was enough and fought him off, and he never did it again. The damage was already done though, and my grandmother treated my mom differently as if she had did something wrong. As a result, my mom was the considered the black sheep in the family because she acted out.
My mom had a hard life while my uncle went on to think he's better than other people and that his sh$t doesn't stink.
It really pains me that she went through that and my gma didn't protect her. I don't understand how people can mistreat their children. 😢
How terrible. My friend went thru the same thing. She told me her brother had sex with her and a teen and she hated him. I don't think mom did anything
What a brave woman to tell her story.

Way too go mom. You gaslight your daughter so much into thinking she was crazy. You even made her apologize to her abuser.
Du,, 2,2😢 a
🤮
The mom herself sounds like a psychopath
I feel so proud of you that you voiced out this terrible perverted actions of this man call Dad. He deserves to be exposed. So many women have stories that are buried and feel embarrassed to come out with it, esp when they were young vulnerable. May they all recover knowing they have all happened without any fault of theirs but the evil one itself May these perverts be answerable to our Lord above.
There are evil monsters in this world. Bless this beautiful and brave lady. The trauma she has gone through is heartbreaking.
#Absolutely 🎉
I was adopted into a family where the brothers and the father sexually abused me until i was 12. I've cut them completely out of my life. Ive got anger and anxiety issues now but going to therapy to sort myself out. Thanks for sharing, it helps, coz i dont feel so alone by hearing these stories. God bless
God bless you
Soooooo #WONDERFUL , Sister, How r U doing, Now???🎉🎉🎉
@@shiningstar5919AMEN 🎉🎉🎉
@@KM-oy5yh Hi. Thankyou. Im doing good. Trying to stay positive works for me. I avoid dwelling on the negative intrusive thoughts.
Oh my dear i am so sorry 😢 I pray Jesus Christ will heal and comfort you like He has done for me
I am sorry that you went through something so horrible being so young and vulnerable. You should have been protected. You suffered and you did not deserve any of that. You are amazing and strong.
I can’t believe grandma just left. If nothing else, she could have called
The police.
Another thing that she brought out which is very common whenever you confront the situation to family the family will dysfunctionally react and blame the victim. This happens way too often. It brings further shame on the victim.
AMEN AMEN AMEN 🎉
Children need to be taught to defend their boundaries. My son and daughter-in law have talked endlessly to their 3 children about this matter. Unfortunately many people are just discovering that this topic needs to be spoken openly about to children, more than once, and seriously. All this for the emotional health of our most important citizens; our children.
I talk with my boys and my door is ALWAYS open to them & any others who need a safe person to confide in. My oldest is 15 & there's not one conversation I hush him with & he's learned more about protection from pregnancy, Stv's, & predators from me than anyone else in his life. My 4 yr old gets the talks about good touch/bad touch & to never be scared to tell a safe adult.
My God I talk to my children as well I always reassure my children won't be in trouble and I won kill the people harming them (usually a relative) so they won't be scared to talk.

I am glad you got your voice back. Even a very small child knows when he/she is touched inappropriately. I am so glad your grandmother was there for you, but blame your mother for not protecting you. I know the feeling you had as I was also made to feel like I was in the wrong when I was 7 and was lured into a room by a boy more than twice my age.
I was molested by our next door neighbour when I was not yet 3 years old. It was incredibly painful and changed my life forever. I was molested by another 3 boys growing up. The last time, hopefully, was when my best friend's husband put a date rape drug in my coffee and raped me. I "woke up" during this, but could not move. These things never leave you. I was never able to form a healthy intimate relationship with a man in spite of going for counselling so many times.
Never allow your family or anybody else ever again to make you feel guilty for something you did not do. I wish you much joy, love and peace in your life.
I am so angry at your mother but so very proud of you. I wish you all the best in life.
I am angry at the sperm donor- Dad is too precious a word to Grace the abuser with.
Sometimes silent and disbelieving moms are being gaslit and abused as a different branch of the same tree. She should have done more, but please go harder on the anger at the abuser. Detracting to her, lets him off the hook in a way
Thank you so much for validating the voices of us who have been sexually abused as a child without penetration 😢
An animal like that needs to be locked up and if he can't tell the difference between a daughter and mother or another innocent child. You have nothing to be ashamed of because you are brave and courageous and you should be proud of yourself for standing up and fighting this. You are a strong and smart woman and you deserve better and God loves you. You will be ok.
The abuser is "dark" - they are filled with dark entities, demons. It takes great, great courage to tell your story. Do whatever you have to do to completely heal.
This was so genuine and powerful. Thank you for sharing this horrific story. I hope with time this pain dies away. 💔

I'm EXTREMELY PROUD of you ❤️. Keep your head up and NEVER give up ❤️❤️🙏🙏.
I am so extremely sorry that happened to you. You are seen, you are valid, and you should never have had to endure such excruciating psychological torture at the hands of your father and your complicit mother. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it's been for you, and I'm so glad he finally said it out loud for you to hear. As disgusting as it is, that was what you needed to know that he truly was sexually assaulting you, as well as psychologically abusing you. You are so strong, and courageous, and I am so happy that you are still here and that you are learning to love yourself and learning to live your best life! All of the love and biggest of hugs to you! ❤
Abuse with a capital A!!! Well said!!! I've struggled immensely with using the word abuse.....thank you for having the courage to relate your experience!!!!!❤
The worst thing is the wives being subconsciously jealous of their daughters that they'd rather suggest it was the daughters fault in some way.
AMEN AMEN AMEN 🎉
I have been raped on a number of occasions in my life, by different men, and if I had to choose, I think what I went thru was less awful than what you experienced. It must have been incredibly traumatising to be in a house with someone that made you feel so unsafe, so uncomfortable - and for that person to be ur father.. That threat of more happening ever looming, I can only imagine the constant sense of dread. Thank you for ur bravery in sharing your story, you are incredible❤
My dear i am so sorry 😢
There is absolutely nothing worse than having to apologize to your abuser. I’m so sorry this happened to you Patti ❤ I’m sending love to you from Louisville, Kentucky in the U.S. I was molested by my older half-brother when I was 8 he was in his twenties. It messed me up really bad. Both of my parents looked me in my face and apologized and said they believed me but they didn’t do anything. I remember having heath class in school where we learned about physical touch and abuse. I couldn’t focus in school after that. I started acting out and just raising hell. My dad always told me to be nice to my half-brother and my mom said something to the effect of, yeah thats what your brother does. They kept letting him be around me and he was the emergency-contact we had to put down in school. It’s like I couldn’t get away and always had to be nice to him. I almost don’t wanna have kids now just so no one can ever hurt my children 😔
This upsets me, as does everyone’s story who suffers through SA in anyway.
I’m saddened to hear what you endured; never did you deserve this cruelty. I’m sorry family members, especially your Mom, as she needed to STOP him!
You’re courageous!
Telling your story will save lives. Thank you.
❤ something I’ve learned from other peoples stories and my own is that the adult I am today, is who I needed protecting me as a child.
The healing journey is never easy, but when you begin to break free, it’s empowering.
I believe in you❤
Both your parents failed you enormeously. I'm sorry pattie, so so so sorry. Your mother should have protected you from that monster.
Thank you for sharing your story. My daughters great grandfather (who’s not blood related) made very inappropriate comments about her. My husband told him and his grandmother that it was wrong and they really treated us like we are crazy and that my husband is a crazy alcoholic (because he drinks). Im glad we are not the only ones that see it this way and not letting her be put into such an awful position like you were.
Thank you for your bravery and vulnerability. I celebrate your courage and this journey you are on speaking truth. Your truth deserves to be heard and you deserve to have people in your life who validate your truth. I’m so sorry your mom didn’t give that to you as a child 🥺 May you have a community that loves you and supports you walk with you on your path ahead as a survivor of SA! 💜 May you receive what you need!!
This made me think of my father . Who is the polar opposite of this. Who is everything good. I’m the oldest of 6 all girls and he spoiled all of us , never told me no in my life, yet I had immense respect for him. I don’t remember ever being upset with him . He passed in 2020 from covid. Not all dads are good and I appreciate mine. And feel so much compassion for her . Only compassion.
You are extremely lucky
The mother was the icing on the cake! This was so sad to listen to! I am so sorry she experienced this.
This is what my dad is doing to me since puberty. Thank you for opening up, you helped me realise that I have a right to feel what I feel.
How are you doing now? Can you please report him? Not to anyone else but call 911
I was molested by my dad as well, if you don't do it you might regret it, you might also need therapy. If you don't mind me asking how old are you?
I'm amazed at how often women/our moms "mean well" but they are SOOOO wrong in their decision-making and completely contribute to their own children's damage and trauma. Mothers!!!... get a grip on this concept BEFORE you bring children into the world! Sadly in these times, most men and boys (family or friends or neighbors) cannot be relied on to be "providers and protectors", and instead are usually the "perverts and predators" of their own children or step-children or female friends. In this day and age IT'S A MOTHER'S JOB TO KNOW THIS and WATCH OUT FOR IT!!!!!
No most men are not perverts and predators
That is a skewed view
Many woman also abuse and participate willingly in SRA if children; they are no more protectors than a guy in a group of pervs.
This group of humans that are sick predators that should not be tolerated in any manner, exist. But don’t go saying most or all men are this. They are not.
Father's aren't to be trusted? Or do women need to start talking about aborting males altogether?
@@astrohitter1791 I'm pretty sure I said nothing about aborting males.
Bless you! I am so sorry what you had to deal with this. It was scary! You made it through chronic fears and gaslighting! You have empathy for other survivors and understanding that can help others! That man was sick!
This video made me cry... This video is a clear extreme case of how she was gaslight (the playing with her reality)... Such a horrible case of abuse... Her Dad is just not right... She is beautiful inside and out, a lovely heart... What happened to the lady is unconsamated incest! 'Informative Video'!
Absolutely abuse. God bless you.
Abuse takes many forms. They are all unacceptable.
Why are these stories so normal. . Parents touching their kids,.... Very brave woman. !!!
They are #NOT..Normal, It's #WICKED n #PERVERTED 🎉
Thank You. I went through this as a teenager too it's so uncomfortable to be in that situation with no one to turn to. It turned into verbal abuse for me because I rejected My dad because I could see how awkward he was towards me. It made me hate him and want to pull further away. It's so weird and creepy. The head games never stopped. I haven't seen My father in over 16 years. It really does a number on Your head. It was Not your fault Your father didn't know how to deal with his inappropriate feelings toward his own daughter. It made me hate myself for being female.
Your story really moved me. What a terrible, insidious nightmare you had to cope with. I pray that you find peace….you are a very brave woman….don’t let him make you a tortured soul any longer x
Thr gaslighting she endured is so scary
Tysvm for sharing this. I honestly know exactly what you're talking about, and you're the first person I've ever heard tell a story like this on this level.
My name is Ricketa from the Bahamas and I too have suffered rape before in my life not by a relative but by a stranger but as it relates to the end of your story about screaming to the top of your ungs for the truth to be heard understood recognized and admonished for what it is, is so relieving for me to get that revelation from you considering I had become a victim of domestic dispute with my family because of an altercation that occured that involved my mum my grandmother and myself and we were at a party of one of our cousin's some weeks back I was on liquor and so was my mum and after leaving the party we ended in a fight the three of us because out of the influence of the rum and feeling bullied by my grandmother I began revealing family secrets but my grandmother took great offense to it and I lashed back so I was told by cursing at her and she sneaked me from behind started the fight but my mum jumped in to help her instead of me with me telling them both in the process of trying defend myself that they both know they can't stand each other an speak about each other so badly every chance they get yet they come together to fight me after which only me had bruises to show including the bite marks on my legs where my 68 yr old grandmother bit me .the next day I was being bombarded with relatives coming to me raining insults over a drunken matter when I know I was innocent but my mum n grandma wanted to blame their actions on my drunkenness and I remember full well what I did verses what they did and for the longest while everyone tried to make me look like the bad guy when I was innocent there was only one witness that could of helped the truth it was my youngest sister and she didn't even defend me out of fear that they would treat her the same way they are treating me so she sided with them instead an all I could do was sit in sadness disbelief an wanted to just runaway from everything including my husband an kids to go and do away with myself. But I said all of that to say in families of today and random people collectively we don't respect truth for what it is anymore we see each other as monsters when you want to reveal things that people try to ignore for years and because you are brave enough to expose things you become the most hated all because they want to silence the truth that you aren't afraid of and it is a stigma all around the world but I am so thankful ma'am to hear you say saying how you feel about something when you know it is not right is ok and telling the truth for what it is and not allowing anyone not even family make you silence your truth is ok and that you are still somebody an somebody special at that you are an amazing warrior to have passed through that mental state of being And still be sane because all of what you had passed through was sent your way to make you become a mentally ill person but you made it to happiness and succes and live to tell the tale because you made all of the right choices though you were faced with adversaries within your own household all your life and that tells me that even though I am dealing with the same thing where they want to silence me I am not afraid to speak truth on anything and that means that I will make it through this safely and I will experience complete happiness after all
Yes, you will find Peace 🙏👍❤️
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN,,Sooooooo #True, Sister..#EVERYTHING u said, I #CAN Relate 🎉
You're so brave! And it was so so wrong of course! Let go of the "but I wasn't raped" idea because really, the damage is the same. Thanks for your story.
Thank you for this!! You are a beautiful strong woman!! You give us all strength! You saved my life tonight!
I went through similar situation except it was my brother and EVERY NIGHT since 8yrs old this man would sneak in my room and Rvpe me while my sister was sleeping next to me! It ruined me. Broke me… I still have Ptcd

I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you ever spoken out or told your family members
When i hear stories like this I imagine myself in that role. Like that of the grandmother. I would be in jail because you would’ve been back in Portugal with us. The thought of leaving after hearing what was happening to you is unimaginable
It was betrayal. I'm glad you have your voice back.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Go head Queen👑 I'm so glad u have found ur voice n took ur power back 💪🏾bc it was indeed ABUSE! It's all different types of it but all of it feels uncomfortable, degrading, scary to the point where we feel powerless. I'm so sorry it happened to you, thank you for sharing 🙏🏽 I can relate as well unfortunately but ur so inspiring to so many of us, to know we're not alone, to blame or crazy. It's teaching other survivors how to get their voice back so they can be heard bc its extremely important. Stay Blessed n keep thriving🙌🏾🏆
Thank you beautiful for sharing painful memories so many others like me as well can get it out no more hush hush but hard truth.
This is really gaslighting. Best wishes to you to find and be truly loved throughout the rest of your life.
I am so sorry for what you've gone through. It was a profound betrayal. I hope you continue to find healing and peace. You were abused, no doubt!
I can’t understand how mothers don’t take this seriously or how men can look at their CHILDREN in sexual ways!!!!
Sexual abuse is sexual abuse painful horrific to every one of us take care beautiful girl and don’t ever think your suffering is any less it isn’t we will be heard and we will stand up to this evil every survivor stronger ❤
I am so sorry you had to go through this. Not only his disgusting passes but that you essentially didn't have a father. I love my dad and I couldn't imagine growing up without him. So not only did you experience unwelcomed inappropriate passes, he took away you having a dad, a real dad relationship. And for that I'm sorry. Side note I love your big round ring where did you get it?
You are absolutely beautiful, brave and courageous to go through all that and sharing your story. This is so much common that we are made to believe. Abusers have to be exposed.
100% believe in your intuition and trust yourself.
This so damn sad. Not even safe around your own family. 💔
#Absolutely...#NOT, SISTER 🎉
I love her portuguese/british accent, but this poor beautiful woman. i’m so sorry this happened to her
🧡🌻⭐️ Thank you for trusting yourself . And thank you for your grandmother when you were little
thank you for sharing your story. it is important that violating sexual is just as wrong as other sexual abuse. Theese abusers think they can get away with it, but more ppl are aware that this also can happend and is abusive. wish you mutch happiness in the future - you deserve it. love from norway
Same i felt crazy for years. Yours is the first story that i felt some wlse understood what happended not only with my main abuser but with my family. That but they have not done this so stop making a big deal out of it.
Abuse is abuse. Do whatever you need to not allow others ignorant behaviour control your future. Stay strong because you deserve to have your life of meaning and purpose. Everything will be alright... Bless you!
🙏🏽you are amazingly beautiful soul! They couldn’t break your soul or your spirit.❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
Why don’t we tell? Because we’re taking the chance that they won’t believe us and then we are marked and alone.
So sorry my heart goes out to you , so glad you are on your way to healing. So glad you are speaking out!
You were sexually, emotionally and mentally abused by a perverted sick man who was your father. And you were not protected by your family who shared in the emotional and mental abuse of you. I am so sorry you experienced such trauma and I'm glad you are finding healing. Much love from a fellow survivor.
Your so brave for speaking forward. You are helping others to do so . Never forget that. God is with you always. God Bless.🙏❤️🙏
You’re so strong and amazing for keep telling
I'm so happy that you found your voice!!! Good for you!!!! ❤❤❤
As a child my brown neighbor would try to hug me and he would pull me close to his body. I knew 100% that that was not a normal hug. No one should ever disbelieve a child or young woman who experiences this. We know absolutely the difference between sweet, loving physical touch and inappropriate touch.
Brown neighbor?
You are a very strong woman telling your story, you've been through a lot remain strong and God bless.
You are so brave. i hope the rest of your life is full of joy. God bless you
My Mom used to say this too problems needed to be corrected or solved before they happen.
My Dad was a great Dad and my Mami too, they had 15 children together I'm the second last child.
When they had me they were in their 40's with a good knowledge on how to be better Parents but with the first children they struggled a bit but I think they did good because they put US boundaries inside and out of the house.
Me too. I think the invalidating and mothers knowing about what their husband's are doing is even the harder to accept than the actual abuse. I had fantasies of killing and torturing her my entire life. Mother's like this should go to prison for many years.
🎉❤❤I celebrate youabuse is physical yes but it is also mental and verbal. Each is just bad,neither should be ignored. Congratulations on speaking out it truly is part of your healing.
Keep screaming, girlfriend. You're right on. God Bless you.
My heart breaks for what you went through. God bless your heart and I am so sorry for what happened to you. I don’t blame you for not wanting to speak to your dad. I hate when anyone tells anyone to just get over it. You don’t, you just learn to live with it and you are so brave to talk about it.
I understand what you are describing. My father, uncle, a male teacher, and a married male youth group leader all did things like this with me when I was a teenager. I am much older than you and have had more time to reflect on all of it, but I am so happy for you that you have owned the truth of your experience. You knew it felt wrong and it was wrong. Your family had no business pushing you to greet your father especially when they did not force him to admit the truth and apologize to you.
This kind of thing happened to me too!!

I wish her the very best. What a terrible experience: to be betrayed by a figure so pivotal in one's life.
Strength, love and light your way sister 🫂💖🫂
Thank you for sharing

Same here...'It wasn't rape, but....This is my story too...but I was saved by my grandma...I asked her not to tell my mom, I was in a loyalty conflict...She said she wouldn't, but her phonecall was faster than my bicycle...My mom asked me if they should get divorced, but that was not my intention. So they are still married...for 61 years now. I always hoped him not to be my father, cause he was blaming my mom having affaires...After all he turned out to be the one with the affaires...and abuse! My dad told me not so long ago he was in love with me and I looked like my mom, and I was the perfect woman...what an excuse...!! Not so long ago he told my cousin the same thing...wanting to have an affaire with her, because my mom can't give him sex anymore...I hate the man...

You are one brave and inspiring woman and none of this is in anyway your fault.
