Hey guys, how is everyone doing today? I wish that I could respond to each and every one of your posts. I just wanted to clarify that only 3 people know of what had happened to me when I was 6 til about 13 or 14 years old. When I was first confronted of "it" happening, I lied but ended up telling the truth to my cousin when my aunt left the room. I sometimes feel like a big hypocrite when I try to support you all because my mother does not even know, although, I have "dropped" hints by saying certain things. Also, when I told her that "he took advantage of me for 6 years," all my mother said was not to drag him into the conversation that she and I were having of my dad who had relapsed with alcohol and possible prescription drugs. Something that gets me through my days is keeping busy with school, although it was not my first choice, but I guess I like learning especially with different types of art :)/>
I just get a bit bummed because I want to tell my mom, but I am scared and just do not want to "ruin" or make things worse because there is a lot of family stuff happening on dad's side when his father passed in March. I do, however, believe that my parents both know that I was possibly taken advantage of because there are a few memories that I have where there could be possible "signs." I always believe that parents just do not want to see or believe that it could happen to their own child which is why they turn their cheek to it and shove it under the carpet.
Like many of you, I hope that one day I can pull back that carpet and make them see it and acknowledge it. What I try to do is to acknowledge that it had happened and that I can eventually forgive not just myself, but perhaps him. I just do not want anything to do with him. I have confronted him when he did live here and all he said was that it was the past and not once, did he blame me which is why I know that he is terrified of me because he does not know if I had revealed this secret or not.
Hope you all get to know me a bit better. Each day, I try to pray-especially for the little things in life like being alive still and being blessed with many things. Hope you all accomplish your dreams and hopes and continue to stay strong <3
