In my last two entries, I've been reflecting on how I'm always haunted by memories of being molested by my dad either from when I was 8-12 or 13-15, never memories from either period at once. I've talked it over with my therapist and she explained it's likely because I was going through two entirely different mindsets during each period because with one, I was enjoying it and with the other, I wasn't. I've been thinking on when exactly did I stop enjoying it and thus, ditto the title of this entry.
When I was 13, I sat in on a conversation among my friends talking about how awesome their dads were and that really opened my eyes to the reality of my situation: I was being molested by my dad and had been for years. As I've stated several times before, I always had the idea in the back of my mind that what my dad was doing to me wasn't right, but that day I overheard my friends talking about their normal relationships with their dads led to me having an epiphany. I remember that day was in January, right after winter break in school. During winter break, my dad it to me once and that's the last time I remember enjoying it.
For whatever reason, my dad had stopped doing it once a week like he had been doing for years. Now it was once every other week or every two weeks. He even went over a month without doing it a few times. I think this time he had gone two weeks or so before he did it again one night. I was in my bathroom brushing my teeth, getting ready for bed when my dad came in and told me "I can put you to bed tonight." I knew what that meant as that's what he called it when he'd give me oral right before bed. As much I still hate to admit it, I became eager about it since it had been two weeks since he last did it and I wanted him to make me feel good in the way he did again.
I asked him "What about mom?" I do out of concern that she might overhear us and walk in on it, which I didn't want to happen. My dad tells me "She's been out for a while," meaning she had been asleep for some time. The tone he uses is very nonchalant, indicating I don't need to worry. He tells me to go ahead and finish getting ready, to which I do so in a hurry. When I go to my bedroom, he asks if I'm ready, to which I give a quick "Yeah," before dropping my bottoms and getting into position for him. After I have my orgasm, he tells me goodnight, I say goodnight back and fall asleep quickly, feeling happy like I always would when he would go down on me before bed.
That was the last time that I can remember when I enjoyed it. Two weeks after, the aforementioned conversation between my friends took place and I finally became wiser to what was happening to me. Two weeks after that, he did it to me once again and that was the first time he did it when I was no longer enjoying it. I regret to say I don't remember a whole lot from that time. I only remember we were home alone with my mom out grocery shopping and he told me to get on the couch. I do so, of course, but for the first time, out of fear and not because I want him to. I became completely quiet from then on. When I would speak, it was answering my dad with brief responses.
I don't remember exactly when he started noticing my complete change in demeanor, but I'm pretty sure he did because I remember him asking me if I was okay. I would lie and say I was, but I wasn't and just too scared to say it. I don't know when he figured it out but I know he knew I wasn't liking it anymore, but he never really asked me. Probably out of fear that I would be honest and tell him I didn't want him to do that to me anymore and as I've stated in previous entries, I believe, in his mind, he needed me to be willing in order for him to get off on it too and would just convince himself that I was because I would still let him do it.
Anyway, I covered what happened from then on in previous entries, so I can say the rest is history at this point. But, to the best of my memory, that was when I had stopped enjoying my dad molesting me and when I started hating it. By extension, started hating myself for having enjoyed it all those years and for being too weak-willed to tell him to stop - something I'm still struggling with to this day.
