“It’s the business of feeling so dirty that no matter how many baths you have, you can never get it out of your system. And I‘d been rubbing myself so raw because I felt so used and dirty and horrible. It messed up my whole idea of who I am, it robbed me of my childhood.”
“I remember lying in bed at night and being so, so scaredbecause I didn’t know who was going to come in.”
“When I was 14 he left home. And that’s when it stopped. But of course everything had stuck in there.”
“Not knowing what was going to happen to me and who I was going to be passed onto next. I was just 5. The abusers were older than me, bigger than me.”
“I was in an abusive relationship and if you’re abused, you marry someone who is going to abuse you. That’s the way it is.”
“I drew a line in the sand saying that this generation wasn’t going to have myexperience. I didn’t have to be afraid.”
