My name is Amy Collins, I come from a not so wealthy family. My mother is on disability and my father barely makes enough to get us by. I am 16 years old, I have no siblings, and I am currently enrolled in some AP and honors classes.
Throughout my life, I have struggled in finding who I truly was. Growing up, I was molested for about 5 years. I didn't tell anyone, because I felt like it was my fault. I've read that usually a rapist or molester tends to be someone you know, well it's true. Well, in my case. I was molested by my aunt's husband, the worst part yet, is I still have to deal with him. Ever since, I know I didn't want to be involved with men. I felt repulsed by the male genitalia and with men period.
After all this, i felt I didn't want to be involved in any kind of relationship. I really wanted to just live alone in a small place with a stable job. I feared being in relationships for the very same reason my so-called uncle ruined my life.
Today, I am still struggling to find out with how I identify myself.
