When I was younger I had a a lot going on in my life. Everyone seem to think that I was a happy child I was always smiling laughing but behind that smile was a very dark secret. A secret so dark and deep that I thought if I told anyone that my family would be destroyed. For 15 years I kept this secret.
Than one day my fake happiness disappeared I no longer knew how to control my feelings. I started falling apart. I started to beat on my sister's I would skip school. I started drinking doing drug's I was running away from home. I was always in and out of juvenile detention thing's got so bad that I would have rather be on the street's and jail then at home. My head was so mixed with feeling's bottled up inside because I felt I had nobody to run to.
When I finally turned 18 I moved away from the city and away from everyone so I could just let my past go. I had fell in love with a man. He made my heart sink everytime he had looked at me. It was ture love at first site. After a year of us being together we had a little boy named Tyler he is are world. I and Anthony decided to get married and we did. I was so happy it was like a dream come truebut little did I know that dream come true would come to an end very soon.
My husband Anthony at the age of 25 passed away of heart faulire. My world was crused. My mind went dark I did not know how to over come this. I was broken I had become very angry. Asking god why he keeps letting bad thing happen to me. I had went back to the person I was once before I moved away from home. I started drinking everyday trying to kill my pain I was fading away once again.
I had moved back home and that secret I was hiding started running through my head again on top of me losing my husband. I just couldn't deal anymore. So tried to harm myself. I wanted to die!
When I was treated for my depression I had got better everything was falling back into place. I got that bond back I had with my son. I even fell in love again till this day I thank god everyday for Joshua.
HE SAVED ME!
I had found trust in Josh to tell him my big secret.. I had turned to him I said I have to tell you something. I understand if you look at me differently after I say what I'm about to tell you. One of my family member's my Uncle Scott molested me and rapped me from age 5 to 17. I continued to tell him that the reason I never told anyone is because I was in fear of my life my mom's life and my grandmal's life. Every time he molested or rapped me he would threaten our life's and I was horrified.
I felt so relived he held me and said" I'm not going anywhere and he was sorry that it had happened to me."
Shortly after a detective had called me asking question's because their was a rumor that he had rapped a two year old little girl. He had called me because my cousin gave the detective my phone number because she felt he had did the samething to me that he done to my cousin and the two year old little girl. So come to find out I was not the only one.
I blamed myself for letting him get to that little girl. I knew I had to do something about it. I stepped forward with the girl's parent's. I told the detective everything he had done to me. With my statement alone they was able to charge him with 2 count's of rape and one count of gross sexual imposition. He recived the max that the state would allow which was 25 years.
Ever sent's than I no longer have the nightmar's. I no longer have that shield up. I was a new person. I felt like I had power back over my life. To me that’s an happy ending.
