The story

When I was 5, I was molested by a close family member. When I was 10 I was raped by a friends Dad, then again when I was 11 I was molested by my friends Granddad. When I was 12 I was raped again. There's always a reason for why these things happen. For the people who are listening to this story I hope you know that these things are not your fault. ID: ST-MIZ
