Hi all. I'm new to hopecube.I decided to join this in hope to share w/others of what I've been through.It's good to know you're not alone.
I was molested as a child,by a family friend.He would touch my privates and get me to perform oral sex on him.I was about 5 yrs old.He would tell me that his penis was a lollipop.This man still visits my grandma's house and sits to have coffee and conversation with her.When he sees me he says Hi and I can't help but think does he even know that he screwed up my life?Does he know that I rem all the disgusting things he did while I was a young child?
I had told my mom and she had confronted him.My grandmother told her that if she believed me cause young kids really don't tell the truth.Nothing more was ever done.
I grew up a single child and my mom a single mother.WHen I was about 8 years old I remember going to a family members house where my cousin and I would be in the room watching tv and me trying to see what these adults were doing on my way to the bathroom I could see them snorting a white powder.I remember being there all night.
I remember my mom falling behind the TV and I thought she was dead.Turns out she was just drunk.I remember smelling her cup and it reeked of alcohol.I would pour it down the sink and replace it with water.I didn't know what alcohol was at the time,but I just knew it made her act different.
As I got older about 12 my mom lost her job and we moved in w/my grandparents.My grandfather was an alcoholic.He would get drunk and fight with anyone around.Soon my mom took another turn and her and my uncles started smoking crack cocaine.I confirmed this when I went looking for her at a neighbors house and found her in the bathroom with the pipe in her mouth and the lighter at the other end. I watched her take in that breath and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
When I was 16 years old I dropped out of school took my GED where I passed and got a job.I've never used any hard core drugs, just marijuana which I stopped doing.Now the problem is I find myself drinkig every other day.I just don't want my life to pass me by.I know that I can do better. I want to,but I feel that it's already become a habit.
I later heard rumors that she was prostituting herself for money to buy drugs.
