Hello Everyone

[Lela]

Hi my name is Lela and I am 31 years old and I have 3 beautiful kids .. I am kinda nervous about talking to someone .. I have never really talked about it to anyone always been afraid or ashamed but now I think I am ready .. So here it goes ....... When I was at the age of 6 to I was molested by my step father until the age of 11 and then I had to move to my dads and then I got molested by my step moms father until I was 12 .. I have been raped by a friend which I thought was a friend I was then at the age of 15 ... I got married at the age 23 and it wasnt no better , he treated me bad called me names and would hit me and some times force me to have sex with him ...... I have always pushed the ones I love the most away .. Not really sure why I do that ... I am really happy I found this board , not sure to what to do I would just like to meet some friends with same situation I guess ..

sincerily Lela
