Hi, my name is Oralie, I am twenty-years-old and this is my story.

Part 1 - Still a Child
I was eight-and-a-half, still a child, despite being advanced for my age. I slept with a teddy at night, had Barbie bedding and wallpaper on my room and still played with toys. I wasn't even allowed out on my own unless I was with friends, though I was allowed to walk home alone from my friend Ima's or from school.

Part 2 - Period
I was getting ready for bed when I found blood on my knickers. I screamed and my mum and dad were soon by my side. They rushed me to the hospital where the doctor told them it was just my period. Because my mum only used tampons, I had to start using them. I remember the pain and discomfort of the first few. But I soon got used to them.

Part 3 - First Rape
I spent most of my time with my friend Suzie round at Ima's house and I always saw her brother Mitchell eying me up. One afternoon when I was walking home from Ima's alone, I felt somebody grab me and I was pulled into the bushes. I looked up and saw Mitchell standing there. He was 12-years-old and the most gorgeous guy I'd ever seen. He told me he fancied me but when I told him I was too young for him and need to get home, he pushed me to the ground and climbed on top of me. Before I knew it, he was inside me and had his hand over my mouth. When he had finished, he got up, zipped up his trousers and just left me there. When I managed to get up, I ran all the way home and told my parents. They went right round to Ima's and had a fight with her parents. Mitchell said he had been in his room since he came home from school but DNA tests proved it was him and he was sent to a boys home for five years.

Part 4 - Ima
The day I returned to school after the rape, Ima came up to me and she started having a go at me. She stopped talking to me but Suzie was on my side and she too fell out with Ima.

Part 5 - Pregnant
Five and a half months later, I started becoming ill and put on a little wait but we all put that down to me pigging out at my ninth birthday party six months before and then again at Suzie's birthday party a month ago. But my mum took me to the doctors cus she was worried and the doctor confirmed I was pregnant. My mum was shocked because she was only 25 (15 when she had me). We went home and talked it through with my father and decided that because there was no chance of an abortion, they would raise the baby as their own.

Part 6 - Kara
Kara was born by Cesarean and weighed in at a little over 10 pounds which is what I weighed when I was born. From day one, I was worried because I didn't want her to suffer the same fate as me.

Part 7 - Still a Child
When Kara came home, I spent the first few days keeping her to myself but when I returned to school, I kinda lost interest but my parents didn't mind cus they only had me at the time and enjoyed being parents again. A still went out with Suzie and our two new friends Melody and Lynda and though deep down I knew Kara was my daughter, I treated her like a sister.

Part 8 - Second Rape
Three years later, I was walking home from school alone when I bumped into Mitchell. He told me that he had gotten out early but before I could say anything, he raped me again. When he had finished, he ran off and nobody knew where he had gone so we couldn't press charges this time.

Part 9 - Pregnant Again
I knew I was pregnant this time and despite the fact that my parents had Kara and now had my eleven-month-old brother Jack to look after, they said they would raise my second child too.

Part 10 - Xander
I gave birth to Xander naturally and he weighed a little under 7Ibs. The first person to come and visit (my parents were already there) was Ima.

Part 11 - Ima Returns
I was pretty surprised to see Ima because we had fallen out and even though she still lived in the same house, she hadn't gone to the same high school as me and we hadn't seen each other since Mitchell was sent away. She apologized for not believing me and that Mitchell had confessed to his parents that he had raped me. I told her that he raped me again and she told me that if he came home, she'll make sure justice is done. But he didn't return for another three years and that was only to have another go.

Part 12 - Third Rape
This time, I was walking home from the shops and had six-year-old Kara and two-and-a-half-year-old Xander with me. When he showed up, he had a friend. The friend stayed on the path with the children while Mitchell got down to business. Then he disappeared again.

Part 13 - Third Pregnancy
I wasn't that surprised to discover I was pregnant again. My parents vowed to kill Mitchell if they ever laid eyes on him ever again.

Part 14 - Abby
Abby was born two and a half months early but weighed in at 6Ib 17oz. Soon after she was born, I took her, Xander and Kara and moved into a three bedroom house with Ima who had just gotten pregnant by her boyfriend. He had run off too so we decided to move in together and help each other.

Part 15 - Mitchell
Two months before Abby's second birthday, I received a package from Mitchell. Inside was a cheque for $200, 000, a note saying 'Gave my life to Jesus' and a telephone number and there were matching clothes for Kara, Xander and Abby. I phoned the number despite protests from Ima and Mitchell and I met up.

Part 16 - Married
When I announced that Mitchell and I had gotten married, my parents, grandparents and Ima went mental but I told them that if they didn't like it, they would never see me or the kids again. Kara and Xander knew I was their mum but still called my parents 'mummy' and 'daddy.'

Part 17 - Lexi
Everyone excepted my marriage to Mitchell eventually and twelve months later, Lexi was born.

Part 18 - Grandmother
When Kara started her periods seven months before her 9th birthday, I started getting really worried and wouldn't let her out on her own at all. But one afternoon while she was home alone, she invited round her fourteen-year-old secret boyfriend and they had sex for the first time. I didn't even know about him until he came round and told me that my nine-year-old daughter was pregnant.

Part 19 - Great-Grandmother
My mum went absolutely mental, she always thought of Kara as her daughter and I had only had her back for three years. She said it was bad enough becoming a grandmother before she was 30, let alone becoming a great-grandmother before she's 40. But I told her she could like it or lump it so we stopped talking.

Part 20 - Twins
Kara's boyfriend Greg and I both went to the scans with her and they finally told her she was going to have a little boy. She and Greg decided on the name Max. By this time, we lived in our eight bedroom, three storied house so we decorated one of the rooms blue, especially for the baby. Kara went into labor spot on her due date and gave birth naturally (I don't know how, I couldn't have). I went mental when it was a girl and said that it was supposed to be a boy. But no sooner had I spoke than out popped another baby, a boy. Doctors couldn't explain why they hadn't seen the other baby but it didn't matter.

Part 21 - Grandparents
Kara and Greg had managed to keep the pregnancy a secret but when they found out that their son had been skipping school, they questioned him. When he told them, they chucked him out with only the clothes on his back.

Part 22 - Moving In
Greg was adamant that he look after Kara and the twins so after a long debate, Mitchell and I decided to let him move in with us and sleep in the same bed as Kara. They haven't had sex since and don't want to until they are at least sixteen. I'm very proud of both of them.

Part 23 - Devon-Jordan
Two months ago, I gave birth to Devon-Jordan (DJ) and started talking to my parents again.
