Katie Beers
“Then there are parts that are hazy like a foggy south shore morning, and parts I don’t remember at all—like it all happened to someone else. Oh, but it happened to me. I have the hole in my left cheek to prove it. And the cigarette burn on my arm. And the deeper scars no one can see.
I would say that I didn’t really know how bad a situation I was in until I was out if it. Like getting used to a chilly lake. You tread water and after a while you warm up, even though the water temperature hasn’t ...changed at all. Looking back, I can feel the icy waters. But then, I didn’t have the means to take the temperature of my environment. I had only two childhood friends. I saw how their lives were. I knew that my life wasn’t like theirs. I was alone, floating face down in a deadly current and didn’t know it.
People would say that I seemed sad. I don’t remember being sad. I don’t recall crying. Except for after the sexual abuse—which started long before I knew the name for it.
I’m trying to regain the memories, but it’s hard to do after blocking them out for so long and trying to forget them.MoreLess
