we decided the best thing to do is to tell what happened....not telling is just another secret, at a different time in our life...but a secret, just the same.
the first sunday of this month, we were taken to jail, for alledgedly attacking and abusing the "man that lives in our house". we had gone to the computer to pay bills on-line and learned he had taken a large sum of money out of our checking account, leaving next to nothin to pay the bills. when questioned why he would do such a thing, he answered that he wanted to buy a computer so he could "keep track of things". we became upset, stating that now there was no money to pay the bills. he began mocking us, repeating everything we said. inside everyone was fearful of him. he said he would never give us a divorce and that we would never leave the state. he also said we belonged in a hospital.....now tht scared us. we called the police. while we were on the phone with the police, he heard us, and he also called the police. when they arrived, i told the officer we were afraid of him, because we did not know him and did not know what he may do to us. 2 other officers took him out of the house into the back yard. when one of those officers returned, he said the "man's" story was completely different from ours. the man said we assaulted him and that he had scratches on his arm. they then put me in handcuffs. we kept saying over and over we did not do anything to him. they did not believe us! they would not let us say anything! they threw us in the police car and took us to jail...it was so horrible. we spent 3 days in a small space, having the same 2 meals a day, which we could not eat, because we gagged. we cried all the time. we ask for our medication, we finally got them on the 2nd day. they took our shoes away from us, we could not wash. we were scared. finally rocking girl, sat with us all night, every night and just rocked. everyone who had come in after us, were taken before the judge, but not us.....we kept asking why....they would not tell us anything. we had no one to call, we could not remember anyone's number but our sister and our parents. on the 2nd day we called our sister and told her what happened. then we learned our mother had been taken to the hospital in an abulance and was very ill. our sister asked if we wanted her and brother to come to us. we did not want to make problems for them..we said we don't know. so sister and brother left at 430 in the morning on the 3rd day of jail. they drove 6 hours to come to us. they were there when we finally saw the judge and was released.
that is what happened to us. now we are charged with domestic assault and we have to go this coming friday back to court. we got attorney, and she is great and feels the charges will be dropped. we are still having nightmares, we can not sleep through the night. we keep remembering that no one would let us talk, no one wouled believe us, just as always....we did NOT hurt him....we would never hurt anyone....why won't anyone believe us????????
we miss our dog so much. the "man" has her, along with all of our stuff. we have some clothes but we need our dog and our stuff. the "man" was not who we thought he was, he is a bad, bad person, who lies. he filed for the divorce while we were in jail. he filed an order that does not allow us near him, our home or our dog. we did feel sorry for him, but now we don't. we cry all the time...like we are doing at this moment. we stay with friends, good friends we have known long time. we feel "safe" but scared all the time. if you pray, please add us.

"The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body and although we repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated. our perceptions confused and our body tricked with medication. But someday the body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth".
