She always made excuses for my father. Together they have committed at least 6 felonies lately with me as primary victim.

I didn’t run away only because I thought the abuse couldn’t last and My grandmother was amazing and I couldn’t break her heart. Oh how wrong I was. I regret not telling my grandmother of all the abuse.
