watching yourself be murdered but your body is still present in reality!
Did she realize I was her daughter? She stayed with this man . The same man who molested and beat me for years. This man destroyed my body, He stole my innocence. He used to make my brother and me sit at the table all night long until we finished eating food that we didn’t want, or go to bed hungry without eating some nights. She said nothing.
This man destroyed me to the point that I only lasted a month or two at basic training when I went into the Army, because he cracked my sternum from beating on me. Times he would pick me up from my bed and toss me in the corner of my room, on that hard floor. It’s a wonder the damage to me wasn’t much worse.. How could she stay with someone who was destroying her daughter? How could she choose him over us? How could I be so young, watching myself be murdered every night, but my body was still there in the reality?
