Hello everyone. What’s up? I thought I was alone for a minute or so
Hello everyone. What’s up? I thought I was alone for a minute or so, until I have seen this site. I’m 16 years old. My past haunts me. When I was 5 years old I was molested by my uncle David for 3 years. I didn't know what was happening. I was mad at myself all the time. My mom always asked me why I had a rash but I never told. I kept a secret hidden from everyone I loved. When I turned 7 on my birthday I told my mother what happened. We went walking for a while then we went back to were I was living and she ran in grabbed her gun and chased him out the house. He told me if I ever told her or anyone else he'd kill me but some how I figure he could have just done it then because I had a horrible future to a wait me. How can young ones keep it in so long is what I used to be asked Now that I'm about to be 17, I know how they did it. They are scared and lonely and know if they told they'd get punished and someone wouldn’t believe them. I told and I put him in jail. He just got out last year. Why would someone hurt the one they love? There are too many lies out there, children are hurt and raped and abused and I don't know why because I was one of them. I have my memories and they are horrible but I get through them. I say to myself every morning when I get up that I am strong and I don't need much to get me through life. I sometimes pretend it never happened but that’s just me. That’s how I keep myself going. I have goals now. Since all of this happened I have hope and faith. I’m set for life. I just didn't have much of a childhood and I know how some of you feel, but you have to keep going. I’m glad I got to share my story, so thank you all for yours.
Love you all,
Hope and Faith,
Courtney
