Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Samantha

by Samantha
(New York, USA)

An Update: 
The last time I posted an entry on this website I was in pain (see Child abuse story from Samantha). But this time I am here to tell a happier story of my life.

I am happy to say that after extensive therapy and counseling I am sleeping through the night, unmedicated. My son has turned one and he is my whole life. The best news about him is that though I could not prove my rape (by my stepbrother), I was able to keep his "father" away from both of us via family court restraining order. Though he is incarcerated for a long time, I just needed to make sure after he got out for a little while and tried to find us. My brother has "repented" and moved out of state to practice his religion, and I periodically get letters of apology. My cousin (one of my molesters) died in a motorcycle accident.

And now I'm getting Married! To the most amazing and understanding man who is adopting my little boy, and not to be too lucky, but I'm pregnant again. And I'm going to college to become a cop. I started in September and it's going great. I have so much support! My life is GREAT. I hope others find this fate!
