00:00When I was four or five, six, my dad would get angry and yell and start throwing things around
00:07the house. And my sister and I would hide in her bedroom and my mom would come and join us.
00:12My mom has always excused that by saying, you know, he's mentally ill. He had a really hard
00:19childhood. Another thing my dad would do, he would lay his entire body on top of me. And
00:24I would scream. I would say like, I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I remember being five years old
00:31and I remember it so vividly being upstairs and screaming like, I'm going to myself. I'm really
00:39going to do it this time and sobbing. I remember when I was in second grade, I was wearing a
00:44dress
00:45and I started flashing all the boys in the class in my underwear. And I was offering. When my teacher,
00:50she came up to me, she was like, Cheyenne, why are you doing this? I started crying and saying like,
00:54I didn't want to, I didn't want to. When I was like 12 or 13 years old, I remember I
01:01was in the
01:02kitchen making a sandwich and my dad came up and smacked my ass and laughed. And I remember when I
01:09was 15, my mom took me to the doctors because we thought that I had a UTI. And my doctor
01:16stuck his
01:16hand down my pants to press to see if it hurt. And my mom watched all of these things happen.
01:23And she
01:24said and did nothing.
