I was 6, when my father first ever told me “shush, don’t tell nobody. It’s our little secret.” I was just a kid.
I remember everything. From the first time it started, to the very day I was finally free. Or well, felt free. The one person most people believe won’t hurt you, can absolutely be the person who hurts you the most. Nobody thought my father would ever hurt me because he “loved me.” But what he had done for years, was no love. It was purely nothing, but sexual and mental abuse. But after the first time, it turned into a daily thing for 10 years. And over those 10 years, he progressed in worse ways. He would take pictures of me, use toys, send texts, make me watch things, and make me touch him back. No matter how much I told someone, or cried and begged him to stop, he didn’t. Even me being in and out of mental hospitals and going to a juvenile detention center, didn’t stop him.
It all stopped when I was 16. My best friend’s dad could tell something was wrong, and questioned me. That’s when I broke down, and told him everything. From there, he helped me escape! I struggle daily from what happened to me. And I think all the time that I’m alone, but yet I know there are so many more people out there who have went through exactly what I went through, if not worse. Me and my father have no relationship at all now. I pressed charges against him, and he’s in prison where he belongs. I also have a lifetime restraining order against him. It was definitely a challenge to get someone to help me, but in the end it was worth the fight! Because that’s one less person, to get hurt by him.
