""I Was Molested By My Mother's Father When I Was a Child. At 7 Years Old, I Told My Mom and Her Two Sisters and They Made Me Promise Not To Tell Anyone. Not The Police, and Not My Own Father! They Told Me Not To Worry, But They Would Confront My Grandfather and It Would Stop. I Did Not Tell, But I Was STILL Brought Around Him and Continued To Get Molested, Through Out My Teen Age Years.
I Told My Family Hoping They Could Save Me, but Instead I Found, They were NOT my Family, Because Family Wouldn't Put Me In Harms Way, and Then Turn a Deaf Ear and Blind Eye To Me.
So Here I Am, 20 Years Later, Telling My Dad and The WORLD, My story! Here I Am 20 Years Later, STRONG not broken, With My "Tell Somebody" Movement! My Life's Purpose, To Bring Awareness, and To Give STRENGTH to ALL Victims!! "Its Time To Tell Somebody, and If That Doesn't Work, YOU TELL SOMEBODY ELSE!!"
WE ARE SURVIVORS. WHICH MEANS WE ARE WARRIORS! WHICH MEANS WE ARE STRONG! YOU ARE STRONG! GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I Love You All!
