had to be around 5-6 at the time. me and my brother shared a room due to financial issues. he was a couple years older than me. he had this friend that use to stay over a lot. one day. one LONG MISERABLE day. he got too comfortable with me. My brother was outside playing, my mom was working. she didn't like me outside without her there. but him... he was "sleep" so he wouldnt go outside with my brother... he climbed in my bed. hed slide his big monsterous hands in my underwear and touch me in ways no one was supposed to. hed pull my pants down. hed roughly insert himself in me. he took my innocence. something i was supposed to give to someone special when i got older. it wasnt supposed to be taken. i never said anything. i was scared. scared no one would believe me. or if they did, scared for him. what theyd do to him. But nothings worse than coming face to face with someone that took a part of you with them forever.. 14 years later. 14 YEARS. AND ONE CHILD LATER. I still see the face in my sleep. that face is carved in my brain forever.. coming face to face with him hurt me. it brought back every single memory. 2 years of memories. or "nightmares" every single thing he did. it brought it all back. seeing him with a little girl hurts more. has he done that to her? how can he protect her from people like him? i know one thing is i WILL protect my son from people like him. i will make sure my son knows that is not okay. i will make sure my son is not like him. it took me forever to open up and get close to a guy because of what he did it'll take me a lifetime to forgive. to forget. ill never get that part of me back. ill make sure my son never goes through anything like that. and ill make sure he never puts anyone through that.
