A Desperate Cry for Help: Escaping a Life of Abuse
I'm a 20-year-old girl who has been suffering in silence. My father, or at least the man I thought was my father, has been sexually assaulting me since I was 14. The abuse started with a disturbing gift: red panties, snacks, and a letter that read, "It's time I teach you things practically and physically."
I remember the first time my father slept with me,he had the face of disgust. He didn't say anything on that day but few days later when he came back for more he asked me who I had been sleeping with since I was no longer a virgin.
I told him the truth,that my uncle had done what my father did to me when I was in grade 5.
At first, I didn't understand the implications of his actions. I came from a poor educational background, and my parents had always been involved in my personal life, even bathing me. However, as time went on, the abuse continued, and I became pregnant at 15. I was forced to terminate the pregnancy.
I tried to kill myself but failed. When I finally gathered the courage to tell my mother, she didn't believe me. Instead, she sided with my father. I felt helpless and trapped.
As I grew older, the abuse continued. My father used my mother's health and my siblings' well-being to control me. Whenever I refused his advances, something bad would happen, and I felt responsible. I became desperate to escape.
Last year, my mother caught my father and me in the act. I finally told her everything, and she was heartbroken. However, she passed away a few days after I was accepted into college.
My father then turned me into his wife, and I couldn't even enjoy relationships outside of the house. Recently, I discovered that he is not my biological father. I feel lost and desperate.
I'm reaching out for help. If anyone knows of any job opportunities, please let me know. I'm willing to do anything to save up and buy a stand so I can leave this house and start a new life.
Thank you for reading my story. I hope someone can help me escape this nightmare.
