I was SA at 7, after a wedding by one of my older cousins, he was 13. His parent stated “he didn’t know any better”. Then my brother, at 10, my parents sent him away for help. I went into foster care with him and met a family, my brother got sent to a different home. The family was no better, continued until I was 12. Got out of FC, late 13 met a friend group, got jumped and SA twice from the same guy who was friends with someone in that group and threatened to SA my friends little sister, who was 10. Kept quiet but friends dad found out, SA again by my friends dad the following month . Mid 14, almost SA by a guy I had been dating after he pressured me into drinking, his brothers beat him to a pulp. Now 17, almost 3 years free from any assaults, under the complete protection of my fiancé and daughter. It’s never what you’re wearing, weather it’s shorts, a hoodie, even a bathing suit when you were 5. I’ve struggled with depression since, my fiancé has stood by me. I look forward to my future. Although I never really got any legal justice.
