RUN AWAY LIFE STORY

A Stepfather's Abuse

Me and my sister Marie are twins. My name is Alice. Our older cousin is Donna. Me and Marie were raped by our stepfather from our 4th birthday to the day before our 15th birthday and I'm sure it would've went on for a long time too, but we were so sick of feeling like freaks that we ran away. We were addicted to weed from our 10th birthday and on. We thought that weed could help the pain and our horrible lives go away.

Before we ran away our stepfather beat us when we tried to resist him. He threatened to kill us if we told. We actually believed him so we didn't tell anyone. It was hard to explain the bruises to everyone and when someone started to get suspicious and called our step dad, we moved somewhere else.

But then we moved like across town from our cousin Donna and she did drugs, too, mostly weed like us. Since we moved so far from our old town, she became our main dealer. Our mom wouldn't believe us. She was always like "Dave would never do that, he loves you, it's not his fault his job transferred him, don't blame him because you had to move away from your old friends!."

So that night when he came in to "tuck us in" he was like "I thought i told you not to tell anyone." We were scared. When raped us the condom broke. I was so scared but he was such a pig that he didn't care that it broke and used the same one on Marie. He told us " You know what? I was gonna leave you alone for a night for your 15th birthday present but you guys broke your promise not to tell" (even though we never promised not to tell) and so he walked out and slammed the door.

Well, we got scared and walked out when everyone was asleep. We were tired and somehow we managed to get to Donna's house. When she answered the door we asked to talk to our Aunt Tina. Donna said she was home alone and Tina was gone on vacation for a month but she asked if we wanted some weed and we said no thanks but we asked to stay the night. She said okay and we hid out there for a week without going to school, afraid he was waiting for us there.

After a week Donna asked us what we were hiding from. Marie looked at me and we silently agreed to tell. We told Donna and at first she didn't really believe u,s but was nice about it because she didn't believe but she kinda did deep in her mind.

Well after a month of hiding out Dave came to the door and asked Donna if she'd seen us and she said no. Then she believed us just by looking at his face, but she had a few doubts in her mind. When Aunt Tina came home, we told her and she was the same way as Donna but when he came a second time looking for us she believed. She called our mom and asked her how she could live all that time without noticing. Mom still denied it but she agreed to let us stay with Aunt Tina without telling Dave.

She called a week later saying she kinda sorta but not really a little believed us from the way he acted around the house. Well, after another terror-stricken week we found out with were both pregnant. Then any doubts that anybody had vanished. My mom apologized for being so naive but said it could be anybody's baby.

Well after the babies were born two days apart we got dna tests done and they were in fact his babies. My mom then apologized again and said she would leave him. She did and he was sent to jail. After he was sent to jail we were happier, but we decided to stay living with our aunt and our mother visited often. We still haven't completely forgiven her but are getting there, and she is on antidepressants. We no longer do weed and we are happier.
