LETTER TO THE AUTHOR:

Dr Shaikh,

I want to say thank you for not only being my doctor but for also being a wonderful, amazing, kind, caring, concerned and gracious human being.  You have a big heart.  I want to thank you for taking time when I come to see you to talk with me.  Everytime you give me more hope and determination and you inspire me to keep pushing forward.  You are my angel from God.  Everyday I wake up I thank God for waking me up and I thank God for you.  Then I go and look in the morror and tell myself everyday that I am beautiful, strong, and I will never let anyone or anything bring me down or hurt me ever again.

I want to let everyone woman out there know that they are not alone.  I am one of a million women that been where you are or were.  I have been raped by my own father from the time I was 9 until age 14 and got pregnant by my father when I was 13, had an abortion.  I was beat with a baseball bat by an ex-boyfriend and he also molested my daughter.  I have been throwen down, stepped on, punched, kicked and called all kinds of names and cheated on.  I started drinking to cover up the shame, hurt, pain and guilt.  The drinking got worse and I would drink a fifth a day everyday and started neglecting my daughter and did not care about anything.

I’m now married to a wonderful man that loves and supports me 100 percent.  I do have my days but I get up and dust myself off and keep pushing forward and tell myself no, not today.  I will not let them control me.  I won’t deny that it is not hard because it is, but I am determined to keep moving forward and to talk about it.  I want to inspire other women that you are worthy and beautiful and strong and you are worth it  –  we all are worth it.

Thank You
