Karma is Real...or not



Do you know what it feels like to go through trauma and then watch it passed down to the generation after you. I always try to protect the people I love from going through what I had to go through, because it can scar you for life. But I guess you cannot save everyone, I felt better knowing that I tried. When I told myself that monsters only are in scary movies and dreams, hmmm...they dwell amongst us being called uncle, aunty, cousins, brother and even sister. I figured that since no one believes me whenever I get hurt I might as well just deal with things the best way I know how to.

Receiving a call from her was the last thing I expected and by her, I mean the same cousin that took sides with her brother when I told her what he did to me over 8 years ago when we were kids mourning the loss of our granddad. Imagine laughing at me and telling me I was a liar because the monster was your brother. But I guess he's not so brotherly after all since, you're calling me to complain of being raped and assaulted by him. I don't know if I should feel sorry for her or I should think it's karma...this is the beginning of my life story..... hope it helps someone out there in some way.
