Entry 2

Dear Diary:

I'm in pain. I'm not sure how to get help and no one will believe me if I tell them what daddy's doing to me. I tried to tell mom but she told me that I'm too dramatic. He said that he's just bonding with me but I don't think this is the way to do it. When I ask the girls at school how they bond with their daddies, they say stuff like watch movies or buy ice-cream....they don't say the stuff my daddy does to me but I'm forced to believe that it's ok. I'm tired of crying about the pain everyday and my body hurts. I don't think I can do this any longer... My big sister tells me it'll end soon because the same thing happened to her but it's been months or years— I don't even know. Everything feels like one. Time stops. And I'm in pain again. I'm in tears again.

He'll come again. He'll knock on the door again. Aunty Lauren isn't here to protect me. I'm all alone and I don't think anyone cares. Grandma and grandpa aren't back from their travels yet so I have no escape. I hate school because no one likes me and I hate home because I'm abused here by everyone. Someone please save me. I'm just a kid.

Love, Dixie.
