Dear Journal,
The doctor was in our house a couple hours ago to make sure I was alright. Eating well, sleeping, and not breaking down every second. But the issue was I was lying. I didn’t sleep and eat well and I was crying every 5 minutes as flashbacks tore through my mind making me fall onto the floor and cradle myself. My mother tried to calm me down, but it never worked. I still couldn’t forget the look on my father’s face as he did what he did with no shame. Just pushing himself farther and farther into his own daughter. I felt sick, I felt really sick. How many times was that monster going to ruin me and my mother? Couldn’t he just leave us alone already?
I just wanted to be alone.
