Broken Life 
Surviving Child Abuse, Ptsd and Mst

My book is to tell my story of my life living through the child abuse and the hurt I endured of not being a Daddie’s girl. The struggle of trying to become a young girl who was always told that she is no good and will never become someone. Always trying to please my dad so, he will love me. The pain I endured physically when I never could do anything right in his eyes. How to this day, I’m trying to grow up the little girl in me and to show her the love while trying to help me. Let alone, love myself. To let parent’s, know that words do hurt. To tell my story on my experience with sexual assault from a fellow soldier and the great impact it had on my life as a young girl just coming out of high school and entering the military. Having what it took to become a soldier. The loss of my virginity. The, impacts that it has caused in my life. The thoughts of self-harm to escape who I became or who I was. Living a life in darkness. Walls built high and a mask for everyday to hide the pain and the feeling of unworthy. The thoughts of my father being right. No one will ever want me. The loss of my childhood friend who I lost thru suicide. The impact it has caused to this day. To bring awareness to other children and veterans that there is help and there are ways to cope. To let them see that they are not alone. To let you know I care. To let you know you are somebody.
