Waking up may have been more difficult for me. I was 5 the first time I was raped. A trusted "friend of the family". I actually said yes one time. Actually, I said NO! That was when he said he would get my 4 year old sister out of bed. So, to spare her, I consented. I finally got the courage to yell my parents. He was a teen, close to 18...
My dad left him clinging to life on his parents front lawn.
I'm luckier than most children who are assaulted.
Finding out about the children gave me a jeart attack. I felt my heart break, that day in June. July 1, my heart broke physically.48 years between events.
PLEASE SAVE THE CHILDREN!
