Ok so by some grace of Satan, Sharon was able to get me out of Foster Care. (atleast for a little bit) On my 4th birthday we moved to Kingman Arizona where I spent the rest of my childhood for the most part. Sharon had met this guy named Richard Sonny Hoover. She told me He is my new dad and everything was good for a while. He always told me what a pretty girl I was and would always call me his little princess. Until one day when Sharon went to my neighbor's house to talk to Wendy about Bills. After she left Richard ask me of I wanted to watch NASCAR with him I said yes and I sat down on the couch next to him. He picked me up and put me on his lap and we watched for a little longer. All the while he put his hand on my thigh and proceeded to slide his hand up my Hello Kitty skirt. When NASCAR ended he asked me if I wanted to play a game called Doctor. I said yes because when I was younger I loved pretending and had a wild imagination. Little did I know the horrors that awaited me. He told me to go get my doctor bag so I did. He started by saying I was the patient and The Doctor was going to make me feel better. He told me because I was sick I needed to get undressed and sit on the examination bed. I listened and then he took the sthesiscope out of the bag a nd listened to me heart beat. Richard said my heart stopped and I needed "surgery" He put I sleeping mask over my eyes and said I have to go to sleep so he can fix my heart I didn't sleep I felt everything that happened to me. Richard touched me in very inappropriate places suddenly I heard Sharon knock on the door.Richard then put a blanket over me and walked out of the room. When Sharon asked where I was he told her I was taking a nap. This was the first incident of many over the years to follow. I didn't think nothing of it at first but when I asked why Sharon couldn't know he told me it was "our little secret" I thought of it a little strange. Another thing that was a little peculiar was he would kiss me on the mouth and tuck me into bed.As time progressed the games changed I stopped playing "doctor" and started playing monster in the blanket. Richard would put a blanket over him and act like a monster, while I tried to get away. When he found me he would tickle me it was inoscent at first but then he would play that game right after my bath and the tickling changed too rubbing in private areas. I began to not like monster in a blanket. I also said I didn't want to be tucked in at night I also had started school by now so I made friends I would go to their houses and have sleepovers. They didn't like coming toy house because they didn't like Richard he would make me and my friends touch each other and would always say how pretty they were and kiss them on the mouth as well. He loved to buy me anything I wanted but I had to perform sexual acts towards him first he made me give him hand jobs and blow jobs and on top of that he made me make out with him I still remember that nasty cigarette breath. After I was done he would tell Sharon I did good in school and would drive me to the store to get me whatever I wanted. One time I wanted a puppy so he bought me a German Shepherd I name it Talle Diega after the NASCAR race track. But my furry friend came with a lot of trouble everytime the dog had an accident on the house he would punish me for it he would lock me in my room and hit me yell at me one time he even threw me against the wall! It was horrible the abuse lasted all the way up until the day he died when I was 7 1/2 in Second grade. The day he died he told me my skirt was too short for school and smacked me he then kissed me and pushed me out the door and Sharon and I walked to school. When school was over I was called to the office. My neighbor Michelle picked me up and brought me home, well kinda. She took me to her house because the police were at mine. Watched out the window as the people dragged a stretch board out of the apartment with a blue sheet over it. After that day I never saw that Horrid man again. I was sent to therapy because of the trauma of him dying and they got more than what they bargained for I told them about the "games" Richard and I used to play and they did an investigation on the house I had to move in with my cousin for a few weeks. After the investigation She got me back because they couldn't do anything about it now that Richard was a burnt pile of ashes (he was cremated). And no the drama didn't end there.
