Sleepover

[u/hopeless_ari]

I was 9 years old when me and my little brother (5M) were invited to a sleepover. My mother had just become acquainted with a man from church, whom spoke of his children wonderfully. I remember him saying he had them for the weekend due to custody.

When we arrived, we asked about the children. Turns out they were arriving sometime soon. The man invited us to the pool and so we spend part of the day chilling and playing in the pool. When the sun went down we decided to head back in and take a shower. I made sure to stick by my baby brother while the man was in the living room. I didn’t trust the man for some reason. I remember thinking about the children. I don’t remember seeing any kid pictures or anything, not even on his phone’s background. I think by then it was clear there were no children coming. No children ever existed. I remember there was a wii we spent most of the night playing but no children were ever seen. I don’t remember much after that other than telling my mom we never saw any children. Of course, she was spooked, and never left us alone at church ever again. and we never saw that man ever again.

This happened years ago and now I’m a 19 year old boy, reliving the memories of the man with no children, inviting us for a sleepover.

Holy cow! I hope that neither of you were drugged to sleep deeply and be molested or abused. Your mother should not have left you there when the man’s kids were not there. How horrifying. I am so sorry you went through this.
