My Life Path Changed One Afternoon

He grabbed me by the hips and pressed me up against the desk. "Bend over and grab the edge of the desk". It was the beginning of my new life. It wasn't just sex. It was my 'acceptance' of this man. By the time I got my voice back I was pregnant and already had one child. My skill set didn't help, I never made more than 14 an hour.

My choices were be alone with two kids, broke and lost. Or continue in a marriage to this man and a path to a better life, for me and my children. Not a choice really. I stayed in the marriage, kept my mouth shut, gave him sex, ran the house and had a third kid.

My outside is a face. My inside is something else. It's the answer I don't have, another life for me?

P.S. In all fairness he didn't know about my sexual persuasion at the time, he does now.
