“I remember when I was 10 years old, my aunt’s husband wanted to touch my private parts. I ran away & told my mom what had happened & that I never wanted to visit their house. my mom, aunt,& the husband had a meeting with me. The three of them ganged against me, calling me a liar,” she wrote in a post on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. 

“Yho, my mom beat the hell out of me in front of them, saying I’m lying on adults, I made sure I never set my foot in their house, even when my mom sent me to their house I wouldn’t go, I’d jut lie and say there’s no one.

“I grew up with this thing haunting me to this date. Though my mom is late, (may she continue to rest ) I remember it like it was yesterday. I never healed from that, when I got my twins I vowed to protect them with every fiber in me
