I wish you knew what kind of hell my life has been since you raped and molested me eight years ago. Of course, you blamed me for your sick, deviant behavior. You said I was asking for it, when I left my panties on my bedroom floor. And the fact that you made ME dispose of the condoms you used to rape me only makes it worse. You made me feel like a cheap whore when you left those $20 bills on my nightstand, and sent Valentine’s day gifts to school. For God’s sake, I was only 17!
And as it turns out, I wasn’t the only victim living under your roof; your ex-wife told me you raped and molested two other girls, as well — your stepdaughter and another foster child (they were 10 and 7 at the time).
Little do you realize how much you’ve affected my life. I suffer from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, which includes vivid and realistic nightmares at least once a month. I have flashbacks, and am paralyzed by the fear that you will find me and try to hurt my family. Now, when my husband touches me in a certain way, it brings everything back.
As a result of your sick behavior, I have to go through therapy for quite possibly the rest of my life. You’ve destroyed our family, and took the lives of my foster sisters and myself. This will be on your head throughout eternity, and I hope one day you will be held accountable for your crimes. May God have mercy on your soul — because, rest assured, I won’t!
