Emily Victoria was just two-years-old when her own father started to molest her
A sexual abuse victim said her dad gave up his job to give him more time to sexually abuse her when she was a child.
Mum-of-one Emily said she did feel sorry for her mum, but also said she struggled to forgive her for being ignorant to her husband's behaviour. She would often miss school when her father kept her off to abuse her, and as she was filmed looking through a Year 7 school report, she said: "This is the year when I felt like I died."As the abuse continued throughout her teenage years, she felt forced to mask how she was really feeling. It became her- way of surviving."That happiness, smiliness was always on my face, everywhere I went, completely masking it.
Emily thought she was a lone victim, until she saw one of the foster children comforting him in the same way she felt she had to. Emily responded: "It's so interesting because the earliest memories I have, as a toddler, of him like poking me and everything, why did he think a child behaves a certain way?Continuing to read the notes, Tony recalled how the dad had recalled the abuse in his mind.
Emily added: "I just feel a bit sick. His narrative that he put there was what he was trying to put on me the whole time. Everything was my fault, even outside of that nonsense. The mum-of-one then revealed that she assumed her dad had pleaded guilty in court because he felt bad for what he had done, not just because of the evidence."My dad's words made it very clear that he didn't care about me at all. I actually want to know and look him in the eye to see if he has changed at all," she said in the show.During the show, it shows Emily speaking with a restorative justice specialist as she attempts to meet with him.
"I don't know, I think I feel really guilty as well. It makes me emotional. Because I know that I couldn't have done anything to stop it - but there's an element where I feel like I ruined her life."
