Enough Said!
From Victim to Survivor
Introduction
If you make your bed, you lie in it, my parents used to say, growing up in a very traditional household with my father as the head and my mom, the caregiver.
When I got married, I wanted more—I wanted some independence. My life took a turn when I discovered my marriage was a lie. In the midst of getting out, I was raped, got pregnant, and was trapped in the marriage. The situation got worse, and the battle to escape was a challenge that I do not wish on my worst enemy.
Riddled with guilt of not wanting my son made me overcompensate for the injustice against this innocent child. I was determined to get out even if it meant I left the crime scene in a body bag.
New Beginnings and Challenges
I remarried a loving and amazing man, but my past was an invisible obstacle which made me angry and happy on the same day.
Healing and Recovery
My battle to survive against all odds came at a price—post-traumatic stress disorder—and many sessions with a psychologist and psychiatrist helping me to have a better relationship with my son and to get to know myself better with the goal to heal.
