I grew up in a small community named kwakwani its a small community everyone knows every one .As child I grew up remembering everyone looking out for each other and each other's children.,in my days in the 1990's those days we played all over invented games even the trash was play stuff lol I remember once at 8 or 9 years old I was the baby fully dressed in someone grandparent adult diapers and playing "mom n daddy and baby" in a friend back yard, I was running and a light bulb cut my feet ,I was rushed to the hospital my mom was called from work and she told me all she saw was the pampers as I was tripping over getting vaccine on my feet I taught it would kill me lol I had 10 stitches for that incident as I recall my mom was always working so we had a lot of play time after school but in between all this I learnt you can't even trust your own so call family I was groomed and then abused by a uncle who was supposed to be looking out for me from 8 years to 11 ,It went own so long because I was shy n I was scared too but I never showed that to anyone or told anyone as I grew older I started avoiding being alone with said uncle and took my own stand against it so he never touched me as entered puberty but the experience made me ok with being used sexual in relationship at a early age as I began to test it out on my own so at 14 I got pregnant n 15 my daughter was born 5 days after my 15 birthday.
I'm now 34 years old with 5 kids four girls one boy so I'm over protective and I trust no one and as a single mom my current experience with 85% of men is inappropriate sexual advances due to me being a single mom but God has me covered so I'm stronger and wiser and a storm to be reckon with.
