My Stepfather Sexually Abused Me For Years – Temmie Ovwasa
Popular Nigerian singer, Temmie Ovwasa in a post on her Twitter account has revealed how her stepfather allegedly sexually abused her for six years.
Ovwasa noted that she had always wanted to reveal what her stepfather did to her but she was waiting for her mother to die because she does not want her to bear the shame.
According to Ovwasa, her stepfather wrote the details of the abuses in a dairy which her mother found but still stayed in the marriage.
She noted that she would not attend her mother’s funeral, adding that she doesn’t hate her mother because the system gives women like her nothing.
Ovwasa wrote, “In the spirit of exposing my stepfather as a sexual predator, I want to state this very clear, I do not believe in the justice system so if you’ve hurt me sexually, watch your back. I’m not afraid of blood.
“I’ve always wanted to tell this story but I’ve been waiting for my Mother to die because I didn’t want her to bear the shame of it but it’s 2022 angels, and in the spirit of releasing my new project where I talk about some of my experiences, I’ll be sharing this to start.
“I was sexually abused by my stepfather from age 11 to 17, he groped me and wrote about it in his diary which my mother found, My first experience with being called mentally unstable after sharing a story was with my mother (which is why you stupid internet trolls don’t faze me)
“After my mother found out she said it was ‘just anal’, according to his dairy, Meaning that it wasn’t such a big deal since I wasn’t ‘penetrated’, I know through and through what a predator looks like, thinks like, I know they never believe they’ve done anything wrong
“This started a cycle in my life, of people calling me mentally unstable, mad, depressed because I was actually, I cut myself for years, in and out of psychosis and you know the best part. Every time I had an opinion about what her husband did, My mother would say it’s psychosis.”
