First, let me say I’m on the s** offender registry because I molested one of my sister’s friends when I was 17. The girl was 9. That has been 13 years ago. My family still wants nothing to do with me, even my mom which hurts me so much.
Despite that, I moved on. I could not attend college because of my status but I have a good career (thankfully) and bought a house. I never told my pregnant girlfriend about my s** offender status. Anyhow, I was on my way home with a diamond ring; I was on the verge of proposal. I want to love her and my unborn daughter for eternity. My girlfriend, though, was leaving, all packed up with her parents when I got home. They found out I was a s** offender. She even punched me right where I had the ring in my pocket. Does she know how much I love her? My heart feels like it’s dead. She left and I don’t think she will come back. I want to die. It took a lot of courage for me to open up and love someone, and I always get hurt. I’m sitting here, staring at this ring, in tears. Why? Why me? Will I ever see my daughter? Teach her to ride a bike? Take her to dances and the ocean? Why do people always leave me?
