Walking past him to the witness seat felt like walking into a fire. Along with feeling every eye in that courtroom piercing into me… But worse of all having to face him again. I always tried avoiding him as much as possible after we moved out… It wasn 't always easy. But everything was better than seeing that man. Seeing his face had always been hard for me.

I was young and angry at everyone and everything around me. The last thing I wanted to do was tell some random person I didn’t know about what had happened to me. I didn’t want her to know anything.
