so, yeah, so it happened when I was 11, right, I did not initially say anything because I was, I'd been threatened and I was terrified, and I had a younger sister who was a baby and he had threatened her, and so it just, I w, I became a very closed off, quiet. I'm are, as most writers are, very introverted and quiet anyway. Um, I was the middle of three girls, so I was, of course, the middle child, right, but when it happened, I was really afraid to say anything. And then, eventually, the sheriffs came around. They sent a female sheriff to talk with his, his victims, of which I was one of three. And then that's when I just sort of broke down and said you know cause I really thought I believed him. I didn't know that I would go to jail, that I was doing something wrong, right? So that was really, that was really terrifying.

And then I started checking all the windows, checking all the doors, making sure everything was locked and nobody could get in, because my younger sister's room faced the neighbors, so I was just like always going in and closing the drapes because I just didn't want anybody looking in, but it didn't make any sense to my parents. I'd be wandering around checking doors at night, and you know my dad has always been very good about locking doors, so it just didn't make a lot of sense. But they didn't put anything together until it all came out. And then I did testify in a civil trial as well as a military trial, and he was court-martialed and lost his pension and his family blamed me for that. So I had to end up going to school with his five kids.
