00:00I was orally the age of four in a dark bathroom stall by a man.
00:05The man reached around for my mouth, opened my mouth and said,
00:09be careful with your teeth.
00:10As he placed his into my mouth, I began to realize that I was no longer safe.
00:17He ripped everything from me.
00:19At four years old, I no longer wanted to sit on anyone's lap.
00:23At eight years old, I was by my first cousin.
00:26He also me.
00:28For eight years, I had to deal with the suffering by the hands of what I thought was a safe
00:34family member.
00:34But it wasn't.
00:36You see, because of my parents' ministry life, they were very busy.
00:39So seldom times we were dropped off at family members' homes.
00:43And I was dropped off at one of my aunt's homes.
00:46And my cousin loved me for years.
00:49I began to also be by another family member.
00:53The second cousin was a female.
00:55My first encounter being by family actually started with a game.
01:02And that game was called house.
01:05I was asked to be the wife.
01:07And one of my cousins was the husband.
01:10He proceeded to take me into a back room where he said, we now have to kiss.
01:15I knew it didn't feel right.
01:17I knew it wasn't something that was normal.
01:20He began to tell me that if I told anybody, I would...
01:23I guess you didn't say it to me.
