       This Girl's Life, Being the Child of a War Veteran
       by Michelle Brown
       The more I write about this the more emotional I get, but I keep
       going because I can’t let it keep me in bondage anymore.
       I’m trying to help other families who might be going through
       this, or who have already been through this. It is never too
       late to get help. I could have died many times, but I survived.
       I survived it and my dad didn't win. I won, because I am still
       here to tell my story. That makes me a survivor.
       I was afraid to tell Child Protective Services about my dad
       because I knew they wouldn't believe me. He had so many people
       fooled — he would act nice around people, but when no one was
       around, we would get it. Then his drug and alcohol abuse got
       worse, and he would start leaving for weeks at a time, which
       felt good — until he returned. Then it would start all over
       again.
       My dad, Kenneth Haugabrook, also known as Rico. I have to say
       this to anybody who reads my book: Don't be afraid to talk to
       someone about what’s going on in your home. Don’t leave your
       abuser in control of your life, don't give them control. If
       there's anything you’re feeling, write it down. Don't suffer the
       way my family and I did. It will benefit you in the end.
