Me too.

My father (21 at the time) dated my mother (14), who got pregnant and married him, had me at 15.

He started abusing me when I was three. Three. Years. Old.

It went on until I could leave at 18 for college.

My blood boils over this young girl who was forced to give her child over to a rapist who now has complete control over a young woman who is the same age as her mother was when he raped her. What power it must make him feel, to be able to control both of his victims in this way.

This should NEVER happen.
