Why me?…

Im 24 years old....No one helped me.... I still suffer, I still cry, but I try.

WELL WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS:

"I’m a 24 year old single mom to a 4 year old daughter. I started getting raped and beat at five until ten by my grandfather. He would tell me “you asked for this” or “stop crying”. I would get spit on and told “you’re nasty and nobody will ever want you” for having my cycle when he needed to be pleased...

Nobody helped me ....

Both my parents knew and was getting paid for sending me there.

Every guy I’ve ever dealt with was very toxic and abusive or have raped me. I’ve been held at gun point and raped.

I’ve had 2 miscarriages and was told “it’s my fault”.

I’m not supposed to be alive... I was told “ you’re just here to please me and when I’m done I’ll kill you”.

Still till this day I’m at a constant battle with what was beat into my head and body, but it doesn’t define me.

Im 24, I still suffer, I still cry, but I try. So if you’re reading this and you’re dealing with anything, know you’re not alone.

WE ARE STRONG"
