I'm fine; I always am

"I'm Fine, I always am" is what I used to have to say outloud to him if I was crying from something he did to me. I still find myself saying it sometimes if someone asks me how I am. it makes me instantly sick...but It was so engraved into my head to say it on auto-pilot I say it still to this day.

"I'm Fine. I always am"

One of my memories specifically about that phrase.


Spoiler
He held my head over the bathtub under water while he permitted one of his friends to r*p* me. Anytime he allowed me to come up for air, He would whisper it in my ear to say it as loud as I could before I would go back under. If I didn't say it, he would hold me under longer than he had the time before. I think what botheres me the most about that memory is the fact that it doesn't bother me at all that I was being used by his friend.

He was trying to make me see he was in control if I lived or not. I can still hear him screaming in my ear "JUST SAY IT...SAY IT."

That type of assault happened more than once, but not more than 4 times. Probably sounds like alot to you....once or more I mean, but some of the things he had done to me on a daily basis so i lost count after a while. That was something that was "special".



This memory keeps creeping into my head and I can't seem to get past it. Gave the kids a bath tonight and had a bad memory. Not quite a flashback, but my stomach turned quite violently.

Thanks for listening.
