00:00My mom introduced somebody else into our lives.
00:03He kind of made her happy, and then he became my next.
00:07He started coming into my room when my mom wasn't around
00:11and touching me in places that he didn't belong.
00:14And again, I was afraid, and I didn't tell my mom.
00:18I would have to do favors for him.
00:20He threatened to kill my mother several times if I told her
00:24until I got in touch with somebody that was able to help me to get my head on straight.
00:29My guidance counselor in high school, she's a very sweet woman.
00:33She believed everything that I said because of the way that I acted in school.
00:38I withdrew because I couldn't study.
00:40I was awake all the time.
00:42And she said, look, you're going to fail school, so I will help you get your GED.
00:48I was 16 when I passed, and then I ran away because I just was too fearful to stay there.
00:54I went across the street to a neighbor's house.
00:57She used to go to bars and dance, and she's like, look, come spend some time with me
01:03and hang out with me.
01:04You can watch my kids.
01:06So I did.
01:07I took my clothes back to her house, and I started a different kind of lifestyle.
01:13That went on for a little while.
01:14That went on for่็e.
01:14That went on for่็t.
