She had to kind of pull her weight being the new person.

And somewhere along that case, she had met some guy, her boyfriend, and had invited him into our home.

And along the course of that, like, you know, we were abused in that process.

How were you abused?

Yeah, well, you know, the main situation that comes to mind was a particular night where, you know, he sexually abused me and my brother.

Yeah, he had been probably doing some drugs.

I remember the smell of smoke in the apartment.

And, you know, I remember being very confused that night and really sad.

But yeah, he definitely, he sexually abused my brother and I.

How old were you?

Yeah, probably three, four years old.

Yeah, probably four years old by this point, yeah.

And you remember this shit?

Do you remember it vividly?

Yeah.

So, you know, for the majority of my childhood, it was kind of like a bad dream, right?

It was a little bit blurry for me.

And, you know, which I learned later is like, probably it's a condition of trauma, like that disassociation and a little bit of that amnesia.

But I do remember, you know, the situation.

I ended up having to go to the hospital due to the injuries I sustained from that night.
