My Beloved Daughter and I
My Healing:
I am a survivor of abuse. I escaped 3 years ago, after my stepfather abused me for years. He would beat me, make me strip for him, force me to give him blow jobs. He even raped me. I told my mother when she finally asked me, "Why do you keep running away?"
I told her outright. "I ran away because this morning, Bob said he gives me till after school for an answer. But if my answer is 'no,' I will get a beating with his belt and he will find an excuse to give you for the beating. He told me that if I said 'yes' he will give me 50 cigarettes so that I won't tell."
Well, 3 years ago I told. I told everything to the police. He ended up getting away with it, because my sister would not give evidence to say it was happening to her too. The day he got off, I ran. I ran hundreds of miles.
Today, 3 years later, I'm surviving. Yes, it still hurts. Yes, I still get bad dreams. Yes, I still have flashbacks. BUT I SURVIVED, and I can see a future beyond that. I now have a daughter of my own who I will protect from creatures like him for the rest of my life.
Thanks for reading.
