Some of the things he did to me were unforgivable. The first time I was on crutches because of him, I was in sixth grade, and it happened two other times. One time he threw me down the stairs and I landed on my right knee several times before crashing into the wall at the bottom of the steps, then while I was on the ground, he picked me up and kicked the same knee hard and I fell back to the ground. I looked down at my knee sobbing and through my tears I noticed that my knee was curved inwards. It was the second worse pain I've ever felt in my life.  I never found out if my knee was broken or not, he refused to take me to the doctor, and I was just given crutches.  It still to this day is curved inward and causes pain every single day.  I wasn't able to put any weight on it for a long time without excruciating pain. He forced me to lie about how I got the injury... I mainly had to blame it on basketball. He would always tell me that if I told anyone he'd do horrible things, but most of the time he'd just end up doing them to me anyway. So why didn't I tell anyone what he was doing sooner? The only thing that I can blame is fear.
