sleep,sleep,sleep
i just want some sleep,
i finally drift off,
but wake to a BEEB!!
its time to get up the day has come,
im feelin scared and want to run.
dad is up and waitin for me,
i look at his face while he drinks his tea.
we sit there in silence admirin the space,
but dad jumps up and starts to pace.
i cn see his waitin,waitin for me,
to come out an say wots happened to me.

i look in his eyes they look so sad,
i take his hand an say "plz dnt be mad"
we walk to the desk,so the past he can see,
i start to shake and fall to my knees.
dad gets up an accompanies me.
i ask him to go,go and read,
i sit outside and watch the trees.
i start to cry and look and see,
dad is cryin on his knees.
i look around "wot do i do?"
do i give him space or a hug or 2?
i take the risk n head for the door,
dad gets up and starts to roar.
feelin scared i see images of before.
i picture mums bashes 1,2,3,4.
i lay on the floor curled in a ball,
waitin to feel that pain once more.

i hear the door slam,
so i go and see,
dads taken off and just left me.
i start to tremble i need someone,
i look for my fone to call jen or mum.
i walk in the kitchen and a note i see,
the note is from dad n its adressed to me.
i read his note and its hurtin me,
it says his angry and doesnt want me to see.
he says he really does love me.

i sit here cryin and remember wot was said,
his not angry at me but the pedo instead.
i really need someone here with me,
this pain is too much as u can see.
i dnt want to ring someone who cares,
cos im sobbing n cnt speak the words.
dad gets a msg on his mobile from me,
sayin "dad im sorry plz dnt leave me".
i get a reply but im scared to see,
i look at the msg and it says to me.
"my lil kitten im not goin to leave,
im angry that ur mum neva told me,
im sorry i walked out on u.
im off to work ill b home soon,
and remember that i do love u."

im still cryin dont know wot to do,
ill give him his space and a drink or 2.
as for me ill sit here n weep,
til dad comes back and we can speak.

that took a lot of courage... and your father will be feeling how he has let you down to have let you be exposed to such horror... he is feeling helpless ... but he loves you... and he has talked to you... he needed to get his head around what you have told him... he needs time to process the information... you need him to be with you... sometimes people need space to process hard stuff like this... you have lived with it for all your life... pieces Dee... little pieces... put all you know into little boxes and open up one at a time... and put the lid back after you have talked about it... do that for your father...

take care....

You did a very brave thing - telling your dad - and you know you have not lost your dad - he is at work. I hope when he comes home you and he can discuss this some more. Well done for opening up to dad.

Go Hunni!!!

SO PROUD OF MY LITTLE HERO.........

Despite offering to be on the end of the phone when this was told to Dad, you did it on your own. What a brave girl you are, and how terribly proud I am of you to have finally told him.
As Jen and I told you, Dad needs time to process this and of course he'll feel pain. Nothing like the pain you have been through, but the pain of parent who loves their child and is shocked to hear the heartache you have endured.
As your new Mum, I want you to know that I love you so much for being you and having the courage to move on with your life. A life that I hope I will be apart of watching you grow.
Take care My Special Little Lady,
Love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hunni,

That took so much courage, I am so proud of you. You're Dad just needs some space to process the things you have told him. He probably feels like killing someone if the truth be known and is feeling guilty he wasn't able to protect his little girl.

For one so young you have so much courage. I couldn't build up the courage to tell anyone until I was 31 and it's taken me until now (nearly 41) to actually come to terms with what happened to me and get to a place where it's actually almost comfortable to be in my own skin.

You're well ahead of me and have so much to look forward to in the future. I know it's hard right now, but it does get easier, just having your Dad know now must be a weight off your shoulders.

little by little ...

Warmest wishes,

hey hunni,

welcome to depnet. I have read your diaries but havent commented on them as I am not sure what to say.

You are going through a rough time. I am glad you opened up to dad and glad that he is there to support you.

Jen and les are great ppl. Whenevr you are not coping, remember you are not alone. you have dad, les and jen.

Please take care of yourself
