This is not a fairytale. It is a true story of sexual abuse. The first horrific incident taking place at around age five. Then again at age six. Then again and again.
The permanence of emotional scars. The long term effect it has on my life.
Dealing with the guilt, the blame, the depression.
The neighbors, the blood relatives, the abusers, the intruders.
The thieves who stole my innocence while I slept.
