Having your first sexual experience being with your father before you are old enough to even know what is happening
Praying every night to die
Hating yourself so much that you want to hurt, you need to hurt, and you wish to hurt
Thinking that it is normal for someone to hold you down and rape you
Being so scared that your child will be molested or raped that you do not want her out of your sight
Seeing every man and wondering if he is a rapist or child molester
Making love to your husband, but instead of enjoying it like a loving couple should, you dread it because you are so scared of having flashbacks of being raped
Being so scared to cry that even when you are hurting so bad, you cannot shed one single tear
Being so good at 'blocking out' the pain, that in order to feel alive you have to put a blade to your skin, feel pain and see the blood, starve yourself, stick your fingers down your throat - and sometimes that is not even enough
Knowing that the only thing anyone ever wanted out of you since you were just a little girl was sex
Never having anyone to protect you
