Emily was a very pleasant and beautiful young girl, but at the age of 7 her father began abusing her; which lead to consistently being raped over many years. As her mother worked nights, no one was aware of Emily’s secret which she burdned through her childhood. Her father would often treat her, which made him appear to be a caring father to friends and her mother. Her father even once took her on holiday, under the impression she was his wife. After raping her every night, when they came home, Emily befriended a boy secretly from her father and after one day, Emily confronted her Father, first of all he laughed at her. But after Emily showed tremendous courage, he realised she was serious and that his reign of his daughter as a prisoner was over. He then began to cry and told her he loved her, but Emily stayed strong. That night Emily confessed to her friend, from there the nightmare was over.

After keeping such a abuse secret for nearly 10 years, Emily has now moved on with her life and lives with her new fiancé who are set to marry next year, despite of a recent miscarriage Emily’s life is very different now, and deffinatley for the better.

Emily has proved no matter how terrible life gets, as long as your brave, you can still recover and lead a beautiful life.
