You ARE strong and you ARE determined. These qualities can get you far in life. And though I applaud that you have taken a pragmatic approach to what happened to you, I will also say that as you go through various ages and stages of your life, what happened to you as a little girl both at the hands of those sick boys and at the hands of your mother, may haunt you in ways you cannot yet fathom. You know that the abuse was not your fault. You know that your mother betrayed and abandoned you when you needed her most. You also know that she is now incapable of taking any kind of responsibility for the way she mistreated you. These can all come back to affect every aspect of your life as you mature. If that happens, seek out some form of counselling. Don't allow yourself to shut down. Don't allow yourself to cut off from human emotion because of fear of what might happen if you let your guard down. I speak from experience here. Putting on a strong front will only work for so long before things begin to crumble around you. Stay strong, but not at the expense of experiencing Love in all you do. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

 The Horror
by: Anonymous

Alissa, your mom and those sick excuses for boys are wrong. You are not dirty; you are neat and perfect just as you were. You are not bad; you are a good; beautiful person. Something's seriously wrong with your mother and she, along with those boys, needs help. Oh, and locking you up in a room for hours and lying on top of you just to prevent you from unlocking the door is a really cowardly thing to do because only cowards would do such things like that to such a helpless little girl you once were. Oh, and I can't believe that she would abandon you to those sick monsters for boys and allow them to molest and berate you...how dare she! Oh,and you are not to blame for her nearly-sadistic behavior nor the boys' perverted, disgusting behavior; they are to blame because they chose to offend and abuse you. You were the child; your "mom" was the adult. She, along with the boys; had all the power and only misused it over you. Oh, and if she ever hurts you again, please tell someone you really trust and keep telling until he/she will finally listen to you and help you.
