Stack my street clothes in a wobbly cabinet with a broken leg

Only two smokers out front and the usual guy looking confused on the bench near the main doors is absent. We say hello to an old vet as we enter. In the room alone, I change into pajama pants, a bootie gown, and green socks with sole grip. Deep breath in, deep breath out.

I loved him and cared for him, and I still do a lot.

Delinda:
I finally had the courage and strength to leave him after almost a year.

Delinda:
He guilted me into sex, made me do somethings I didn't want to do, and took silence as a yes.

Delinda:
He was a little less than a year younger than me.

Delinda:
It was my second relationship ever and I wanted it to be serious and so I tried hard.
(14 October 2016)

Delinda:
Then when I was about 15 I was in a relationship.

Delinda:
This happened at least once a week for the next 8 years.

Delinda:
I was first raped when I was 4 years old and by my brother.
