Dear Sir

Dear Sir,

I always asserted that nothing bad could happen to me. I'm WAY too guarded and too smart to put myself in a situation where I could be taken advantage of. When my mother told me that I shouldn't do this or that because it could be unsafe, I'd scoff at her and inform her that there was no way I'd be stupid enough to find myself in an unsafe situation...that I don't spend time alone with people that I don't trust. You proved me wrong, sir.  You appeared to be someone I could trust, so I did. Little did I know you were calculating and manipulative. Little did I know that to you, I was an object, one that could be formed into whatever you wanted. Little did I know how disgusting you are.

Thank you, for teaching me never to disregard my mother's words, ever again.

However, you took things from me that I can't ever get back. You hurt me physically and mentally in ways I thought could never occur in my life. You made me ashamed of myself. You took advantage of the fact that I trusted you enough to be my friend.  There are no amount of words that can express to you the sleepless nights you have caused or the questioning you have allowed Satan to place in my heart. You had the GALL to act as though nothing you did was wrong and then a month later to say that you knew what you did and that it was "not cool," which is the worst kind of understatement.

This isn't a second chance kind of opportunity for you, sir...and how dare you ask. You never had a first chance given...you took it. Stay away from me.

Sincerely,
Leah

Lord, help me to forgive as You forgive...remind me that even though I have hatred in my heart, You do not and You love him despite the things he has done. Help me to move on, as I know I will never, ever forget.

Friends, I realize this post is mostly frightening to you as you imagine what I might have gone through. Know that I'm okay, God is in control, and even though bad things happen, I'm His child. I'll be okay. Know that.
