A dutiful daughter and a family to support. "Can't you take me on a trip? Poor thing" The uncle laughed as he slipped his hand into my underwear. From now on, for the next two days, I will be this person's toy――. "The child support hasn't been deposited again," my stepfather shouted and hit my mother, who then called her ex-husband, crying and demanding money. A monthly ritual in our home. But when my father became unreachable and our bank balance hit zero, my stepfather's anger shifted from my mother to me. "You make the money instead." I was forced into prostitution for the family, and if I refused, I would be beaten and raped under the guise of discipline. My stepfather would do it whenever he was free or irritated, over and over again. Once, when my mother witnessed it, he claimed without remorse, "She was the one who seduced me," and my weak mother accepted it. Eventually, a younger brother was born between my stepfather and mother, and she stopped acknowledging me altogether. We had separate dining tables, no conversations, and I became something that brought money into the family. "Let's have her work again to increase our funds; after all, it's a rare family trip," my mother's cheerful voice leaked from the living room. Why can't I be part of the family? Is it all my fault? I squeezed my eyes shut and tried not to think, but tomorrow will come soon enough――. A girl who kills her heart for her family and only endures, when she succumbs to a man's torment, gasps and sobs overflow. The pathetic tale of a girl.
