My mother had me when she was 20 years old. My parents divorced shortly after I was born. When I was about 4 or so My mother met her next husband and father of my little sister and brother. The abuse was an all the time thing. I don't quite remember it but it happened. When my mom was pregnant with my brother, her husband beat and raped her for the last time!! He made her face look like hamburger meat. My mom is such a strong and beautiful woman. I truly admire her and she is my hero! She is so caring and fun. She made sure that we would no longer live in fear.
