i was only 8 when it happned and now i am 13. it started as a normal day my mom left for work my step dad stayed home as i was gettin ready to walk out the door he asked me if i wanted to stay home. being 8 i said sure not knowin that that was goin to be one of the worst desions of my life.

i sat down to watch tv in the living room and he said to go to his room and watch tv, and i did. about 10 minent later he came in with his shirt off and comin toward me. i asked him if he wanted for me to leave he said no just drink this. and he handed me a glass of wat i thought normal apple jucie nope he had drugged and about 5 mins later i was out cold. i woke up three hours later with him on top of me and my insides burnin w/ pain. i started to scream he told me to shut up and i started to cry thats when the beating started he punched me and told me to stop and i didnt so he threw me aginst a wall and stoped and told me i was a wast of space and to go to my room i ran up the stairs and grabbed the phone and called my mother and told her and what she said hurt more than the abuse it self "Dominique just because u dont like paul and u still cant get over ur father's death doesnt mean u get to make up stories and no daughter of mine will be stayin stuff like" i hung up and called 911 they came arrested him and took me to the hospital i had 3 broken ribs and my cheek bone was broken and they told me i would never be able to have kids when i got older. my mother said she was sorry about a million times but still to this day i have not toally forgivin her. i know its wrong but, because she cant pick the good guys for the bad i had to pay NOT her me and my body had to pay. because of that insadince in my life i know what i wanna be when i grow up. i wanna be a lawer for children who have been abuse. i want to thank this site for makin a place where kids can tell their stories and the moss point police.
