I never had a normal childhood when I was growing up. I believed that I had it worse than anyone. When I was in third grade I was sexually molested by my stepfather, and that wasn’t the first time. When I turned 11 it happened again, and continuously. I was being abused sexually, physically, and emotionally. When he beat my mom, I would be next. One day he hit me with an extension cord that left severe scars on my leg and thighs. I finally had the courage to call the police. After that day my mom moved me into my aunt’s house.


My first few years in middle school were fabulous. I finally felt at home and loved by my family. My aunt had given me the chance to live life normally and not have to be afraid. That all changed when I got into high school. I lost my virginity when I was 16. The person that took that precious part of me was my uncle…my aunt’s husband. The guy that I had pictured as my new father took advantage of me. My aunt kicked me out, and to this day she is still with him and denies me as family.

I moved back in with my mom. We have had out ups and downs, but there is no love greater than a mother’s love. I am now 20 years old, married, and blessed with the most handsome baby boy in the world. Everything changed for me, and I am blessed. I guess you could say my life is not over.
