When I was a little girl I was abused by my father. I went to church every Sunday, also attending Sunday School and Bible study but even though my family went to church it did not stop me and my sister from being abused. My older brother was about 1-year ½ and he died when he was a baby from walking pneumonia and neglect that is what I was told.
I grew up in a house full of secrets and we were not allowed to tell what was going on. I was in middle school and the nun would not let me go to the bathroom so I had an accident when my father came home, he beat me with his belt buckles and I had bruises all over my body my mother heard me scream and cry and she just listened and she has done nothing. My mom told me the next day that if I told anybody my father is going to punish me. I went to school and told my friends and they told the principal and I was examined by the nurse. The principal told my parents I could not come back to school until I saw a doctor. I went to the doctor and he saw my bruises and talked to my father and told him if he did it again he was going to jail. Now my father was a correctional officer. DHS was never notified and the system failed me and my sister.
There was no hope for us. I and my sister were abused for years. My father sang in the choir and we were under the word of God still nothing changed. I was molested several times even by a family member, boys, and men, some I did not know. There was an incident on the 15 trolleys, I was coming home from high school and was on the trolley with my friend at the time and a man approached me and I got up and went to tell the driver and the man followed me and held me and pressed, me into the money box in front of the driver and told everyone I was his wife and no one helped me and they watched him molest me. The driver stopped the trolley and called the cops and they came and took him off the trolley but never said anything to me.
I got pregnant at the age of 15, had my first child at 16, 19, and 21, and also had an abortion at 18. I was broken. The church failed me, the Baptist church that I grew up in one of the deacons asked when I had one son and was pregnant with the other son am I going to have any other kids, after that I left the church for 10 years.
