Imagine This

You are 3 and 5 years old and your father and your mother are getting a divorce. You aren't sure what it happening, but you know you have seen your mother with other men and have seen your mother beating on your father. You have seen your mother taking stuff all of the time and she either gets really angry or falls asleep. Your father has tried to take you away several times, but these people you see keep bringing you back to your mother. Some place called "Social Services". You keep hearing your mother say things about your father that you know aren't true, but when you tell your mother that she just slaps you across the face or locks you in your room and tells you to never tell them that!

Now you are leaving and going somewhere with your mother, like we always do when daddy gets close to finding us and then mommy meets someone new, like she always does. Daddy doesn't know everything that is happening and I don't know if he will ever be able to come get us, but I dream of it every night. I have some secrets to tell daddy about mommy's dad and no one hear believes me. I don't understand it because mommy made me go and tell those people from that place that daddy did those things, but he didn't! I can't say that though because she might beat me again. My little brother doesn't even think he is our daddy anymore, but I know the truth. Daddy has tried to come and take us, but mommy keeps telling lies to the police and it never stops and they always believe her.
Mommy is remarried to someone else now, but she isn't home a lot and we don't have any food. We are really hungry and I don't know what to give my brothers, so I guess we will have some cake mix that was left in the cupboard. Mommy is always acting weird when she is home and I see her doing things with other men and then she sticks this needle in her arm and gets really silly sometimes. I don't see her often anymore. My step-dad comes in my room all of the time and the things he does really hurts me. He does things that I know he shouldn't be doing, but he calls out my mother's name and I wish I could tell my real daddy. He could make him stop hurting me,brutally raping me, but I don't know where he is. Every time I ask about him I get a beating and I already get enough of those as it is.
I am now older and I have finally told after all of this time. I told those people from "Social Services" what was happening to me and they took us away from my mother and my step-father. I now know there
