I was like 10 or 9 , I’m now 13 and I still get nightmares. had a step-dad he was the best but one day I was falling asleep next to him in the bedroom. He then started touching me from my legs to my private area. He put me on top and carefully took off my pants and underwear at the same time he then stopped when he heard my mom knocking at the front door. I woke up and was wondering what was it the he was doing, so then I never told anyone until now. Then he went to prison for being in a gang and stuff. I later went to middle school and people made fun of me for being fat so I started to cut. Then I lost weight later. My mom found out I was cutting I told her about my step-dad and other things at school she broke into tears. I haven’t had one letter from my step-dad like he used to mail us until my birthday in September. He said he was sorry and I still have the letter. I met someone and I’m doing better now.
