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 .
