"Ik was nog maar een jong meisje, net 12 jaar. We waren met de hele familie naar Marokko, gewoon vakantie.. Het was leuk en gezellig totdat mijn neef me betaste. Ik was zo bang, de angst die ik voelde samen met de walging. Het was verschrikkelijk, ik werd zo depressief dat mijn eigen familie dacht dat ik gek werd. Niemand geloofde mij, integendeel zoals ik al zei beweerde ze dat ik gek was.." Niets mag zonder mijn toestemming gekopieerd worden. ~ @schrijfster300 Hoogste rang in Romantiek is #1
