When I was a little girl, I was sexually abused by my foster mother’s boyfriend.
My first time being abused was in the foster home. After being separated from my siblings, my foster mom would leave me with her boyfriend and the other kids, and that’s when he’d abuse me. When I wanted to say something I got bullied and tortured even more, so I just zipped my lips. I thought this would be my life. I hated not having my parents, and feeling like no one loved me. When I was 8, one of my family members took us in. Thinking it was a safe heaven because I’m with family, but that didn’t stop anything. From age 8-11, I was sexually assaulted by one of my cousins. And of course when I said something, I was punished. I was sooooo tired, and I just wanted to be happy. I even tried to commit su***de. I hated my life. I suffered anxiety, silent depression, an abandonment issues as a child. But then, I met friends and teachers that literally loved on me, and they helped me in school and with therapy. I thought I was healing, I was getting somewhere in life. As an adult, one night I went to a club and I drunk the wrong drink. I got in a car with a man, thinking I was okay because a family member was following us, and somehow the guy drove off and there I was a victim again. I was dragged by my neck, suffering strangulation, and I was assaulted in the woods. I blamed myself for a long time, but I know I didn’t deserve that. I saw a therapist shortly after, and I fought the case myself. Nobody came to court with me, Nobody even asked if I was okay.
I suffered nightmares and separation anxiety. A year later, God blessed me with my daughter. She saved my life. I was ready to throw in the towel, and I can admit to that. I saw that same therapist again, a couple years later when I was in a bad car accident from drinking. I almost killed myself and my cousin. The therapist looked at me and said “Soon as I heard your name, I ran in here to see if it was you.” It was me, and I told her I needed help. I grew up being abused as a little girl, multiple times, to being abused as a 22 year old woman. I carry that weight on me every day. But with GOD by my side, that same therapist, and my daughter, they’ve really helped me a lot with everything I’ve been through. I want to speak to young victims, and let them know it isn’t your fault, and you’re not to blame. You can get through this, and you don’t have to give up so easily. Giving up, is the easy part. You can fight through whatever testimony you’ve been through, especially with god on your side. Today, I’m a brave strong woman and I have my moments, but I’m not what happened to me. I’m more than just being molested or r@ped. I’m a survivor, and I will succeed. I know I have a future in front of me, and I will keep pushing until I reach my goal. I’ve had to sleep on kitchen floors, for wetting the bed because I was scared someone was going to come touch me. I’m glad to be able to share my story, because maybe it will save someone who is fighting in silence.
