By TORBEN BAGGE
Dorte Tveiti, 39, mothero f 3, now send out a chocking book about her horrifying childhood with a sexually pervert father, which made his 12 year old daughter pregnant, let her give birth tro the child and then killed it.
?I had 3-4 contractions, then i gave birth to a little girl. My mother is taking her, she holds her up in front of me while my father cut the umbilical cord. My mother put her on a desk and my father picks her up. My little girl cries as a normal baby, then my father takes her out into the kitchen, After a few seconds she stops crying. There is silence?? These words could have been the description of any normal birth in Denmark. But for Dorte Tveiti. 39, studying pedagogics in Lemvig, the birth and the minutes thereafter ? which should have been a happy occation in a woman?s life ? was the culmination of an unparalleled nightmare.
Honest and unveiling she has chosen to describe her horrible childhood experience in the autobiography ?Sexual Assault?, which is published at the publishing house Documentas.
Abused at age 3
?Since the age of 3 I was subjected to the worst crime that can befall a child. I was abused sexually by my father. It culminated, when he made me pregnant at the age of 12. At the agre of 13 I was forced to give birth to his child on the dinner table at home.
Just after the birth he disappeared with the child and killed it?, says Dorte Tveiti, which after years of therapy with a psychiatrist finally has the courage to come out with her identity and the story in all It?s details.
?By writing this book I have been able to sort out all the horrible things. Together with frequent sessions with a psychiatrist and also by the help of an understanding and patient man ? the book has been valuable therapy for me.
It has been like digging your way to the bottom of an enormeous compost heap, layer by layer. Finally I can say that I have achieved a form of inner peace. I have now learned to live with those depressing memories. With this book I hope to give help to others with deep psychological wounds.
For many years she suppressed and denied the horrible experience. She was in the middle of her thirties when she chose to go into the process of uncovering the past and then choose to go to the police.
Police and state attorney has chosen to dismiss the case ? partly because of the Statute of Limitations and also because of lack of evidence. There is no body of any child found.
Parents deny
The parents, which she today has broken all contact with, denies all of accusations. But an elder sister has sworn to the police that the abuse really took place.
A number of testimonies from people knowing the family also confirm the suspicions of a serious crime. Even the earliest experiences are seared into the minds of Dorte Tveiti?s mind:
?When I was about 3 years, I am in the living room with my dad. He started to run after me, while he smiles and laugh. I am very scared, I scream. But my father catches me, lie me down of the ottoman, takes off my underpants and has intercourse with me. I am screaming but he tells me to shut up.?
While he still tells me to shut up he drags me through the living room into the wash room up the stairs trough a bedroom and into my room where he beats me.
My mother and sister is also in the room, they both have stony faces. When my father has left my sister comes over to comfort me.
Through all her childhood Dorte Tveiti has to suffer a hard mixture of sexual abuse threats and violence. The family, all the members are Jehovah's Witnesses, they live an isolated life on a farm in the Aars district in North Jutland ? maybe an explanation for why no one of the outside reacts.
Dorte Tveiti: ?When I was about 11 years, I went into the stable behind the manure heap. After having closed the door I saw that my father was in the room. He commanded me, ?Come here?!
I was too scared to refuse. He grabs me and bangs me several times against the wall, while he says, ?you bastard child, I hate you. One day I will kill you.?
After that he grabs under my chin pressing his hand on my throat and my head against the wall. After a while his rage subside and he leaves.
In another incident ? I am about 12 ? I am sitting on the ottoman of my sisters room. My father comes in and he wants to have sex, but he grabs my throat and squeeze it. I panic because I am convinced I am going to die. Suddenly he lets go and leaves the room,? tells Dorte Tveiti, which doesn?t hide that her mother knew about knew about the abuse.
?It is my mother that discovers that I am pregnant. But this happens after several months. Presumably she notices like others that I suddenly is gaining weight and with her knowledge of my fathers sexual abuse she understand what?s happened.?
Jehovah's Witnesses: You are posessed
One day she draw me aside and ask me if it isn?t a long time since I had my period. I admit that this is the case hoping that my mother know what to do. My mother ask me: ?Is it you father who has done this??
Among Jehovah's Witnesses Dorte Tveiti finds no sympathy: Both my parents and the members of the sect had agreed that I had to possessed by the devil to make such accusations.
Normally the sect would disfellowship such a person. But strangely enough this hasn?t happened. I have of course broken all connection with the sect, says Dorte Tveiti, which under the work with her book has got the support of the well known author Jane Amund.
The author has also written in the foreword of the book. ?Jane is a wonderful understanding human being. My conversations with her has meant a lot to me both psychical and physical.
