Many years later her experience being molested would come back and affect her relationship with her daughter Kyiesha. Kyiesha revealed that her mother was overprotective and this was because she was afraid her daughter would be molested as well. Because of Gertie’s personality at that time, Kyiesha ran away but she ended up moving back because she was raped by her boyfriend’s brother. This was not the first incident of her being sexually assaulted, because she had recently been gang raped between this incident and when she ran away. It was discovered later on that her attacker was actually bragging about raping Kyiesha, which enraged Mark.
