What do you regret not doing, being, or having in your life?
I regret not speaking out about the abuse that I was going through sooner. But I was threatened by my abuser, they said if I told they’d kill me, and my family.
I believed them, because I was a child, and kids believe what they are told.
I know now that if I’d have spoken out sooner, I could’ve gotten away, and the abuse wouldn’t have lasted for 11 years.
If I had spoken out, my mom would’ve taken me out of that boarding school sooner.
As it was, I didn’t get away until I was sixteen years old.
I suffered in silence for 11 years, going through all forms of abuse, but severe sexual and psychological, and ritual abuse.
It is my one regret in life, that I could not find the courage to speak out sooner.
