When your nightmares become reality
I’ll never forget the day that my nightmares became a reality. We immediately hit it off. Had great conversations and a lot of things in common. We were both single and raising young boys. We enjoyed spending time with them outdoors. It was not long before this guy and I were spending every moment we could together. We were going to be each other’s forever and declared this very early on. Marriage came soon after the pregnancy and an opportunity for career advancement for my new husband meant relocating for us. During this time, my younger sister was getting into trouble hanging out with the wrong crowd and so I decided that she should move with us so that she could start fresh and do something better for herself. I was about five months pregnant when we hit the road to Texas. I was very excited about a new start for our little family. I was a stay at home mom for the boys while I was pregnant. My husband was really enjoying his new position. My sister found a job and started saving money while helping out around the house and with the boys when she could. Once we were all settled in life seemed to come together nicely, I thought that this was the perfect situation for us to be in. I really felt that I found a perfect harmony in this thing called life.
It was not many months after moving that I became suspicious of my husband and sister being up to no good because of their long stares at each other and random comments that they would make. I thought maybe it was my hormones and that I was being a little over reactive because of the pregnancy. It was soon after having our daughter that the nightmares started. The nightmares came on a very regular basis and felt so real to me. My husband and sister would be intimate and I would barge in on them or confront them about my suspicions and they would very arrogantly say that they really didn’t care how I felt about what they were doing. Waking up became gut wrenching and tearful after
