Life.

Hey y’all, you’re amazing, you’re doing a great job, & thanks for reading!

It’s crazy to think that just 6 years ago I was young and innocent. I was naive but so full of life and life was FUN!

Remember those days? Maybe you do, maybe you’re still in them or maybe you were robbed of the chance…

Although I had a time where I was innocent, it was taken too soon…I too was robbed. Robbed of my innocence, of the light in my eyes, and the sparkle in my smile. It was gone. Taken from me.

Rape will do that to you.

Becoming pregnant by a man who took advantage of you. Who continued to hurt you. When you didn’t know what to do or how you’d ever get out…you lose your innocence, your beauty, yourself.

It’s all gone.

You do your best to carry on and “do what’s right” and keep your mouth shut.

Few very of us who’ve been in an abusive relationship have that opportunity to escape. Not only the opportunity but the strength.

One night, I found mine.

He would hurt me and my child no more. I took my stand and I sought justice…only to discover there is truly no such thing as justice.

More to come…I have to pack coolers and get the kiddo to bed. The more likes and responses the more likely I’ll keep this up. This is my story. Some of it is scary/sad but there is much joy along the way.
