Forgotten flesh and blood
I have healed quite a bit from the abuse I endured but I still find myself angry... furious for that matter.
My parents adopted 2 teens when I was nine; a girl 12 and a boy 14. These two monsters tortured me. The boy was evil and had no problem taking out his agression on me and even raped me. The girl tried to slit my throat and also took out her agression on me.

The thing is; I would tell on them... they would get "punished " and it would start again. I don't remember the breaking point but one day the boy went away but the girl stayed.
My parents put her in counseling and left me to my own demise.... nope no counseling for me, the victim. She stayed in a mental hospital for a while before they transferred her to a group home in Florida.
My father was retiring from the military and was looking at jobs all over the country. I was told they were also looking for places for me to excel my dance career. But instead of that happening we moved down to Florida to be not only closer to the girl but my rapist grandfather.
What infuriates me the most about the situation is that they chose her over me.... thier own flesh and blood. I really don't feel like they fought for me. They say they were doing the best they could; if that was true why was the boy never arrested for what he was doing.
Moving down to Florida put me in a worse situation because my grandfather (dad's dad who had been molesting me since I was 7) molested me everyday my father and I stayed with him, even raped me on many occasions.
I wasn't believed to begin with and was told "it's not rape if it's family ". No charges were ever brought against him and for years I was blamed for the estranged relationship between my father and his father.
Again; when was I going to be considered to be the "victim ". I was finally in counseling but they had no idea the scope of my mental illnesses.

Why wouldn't they step up for me?
