Finally...someone with a story very loosely related to mine. I'm so incredibly sorry that you had to go through something as horrible as that. The abuse I mean...and I guess the courtroom too. I never had to go to the courtroom. But I went to the police and had an interview. It wasn't very fun...but thankfully I wasn't traumatized by it. It's interesting that I have a few things in common with you and yet I've never had the chance to meet you. You remind me of a younger versian of myself...when I too was an introverted nerd. Well...I'm still a nerd...but I'm extroverted now. Well, I'm glad you posted this up here. People need to hear the truth. It takes a lot of courage to do something like that. I'm proud of you. I have a feeling if I knew you, I would like you. You seem like a nice person...though I could be wrong lol. Good work love. Keep it up. And don't worry, life will get better. It always does. I hope everything is well with you and that your wounds heal. You deserve so much...everyone does.

I really liked this beginning. I'm not sure if you're going to finish it, because it's been so long since you wrote the first chapter, but I hope you do. I really like that you didn't disclose what the court appearence was for, because that leaves a lot to be wondered about, making readers want to continue. It made me want to continue, at least. This was a great start!
