I'm terrified to be alone with men, because of you.

I was never physically abused by a man, but you allowed them to mentally fuck me.

You allowed these horrible, retched men into my life when I was still and adolescent. I was still learning from my surroundings.

You allowed them to talk down on you and your child. You allowed them to let your child shed a tear from their bitter, nasty words.

You allowed them to invade my privacy. You didn't set boundaries. When I was away, my belongings would be gone through. At night, my door would be open or closed. I would be disrupted from my sleep as revenge for acting as a mere child.

You question why I am so fucked up. Why I'm mentally ill. Why I'm so weird around men.

This is why.

I jump when I am touched by a man. I coward when I hear their voice. I try to avoid social outgoings to avoid repeats.

I still hear all their voices. You're stupid. You're retarded. You're worthless. That's why {so and so} doesn't want you. You don't have any friends.

I am afraid, thanks to you.

I will fear physical contact with a man. I will fear being alone with a man. I will fear man. All my life.
