A woman who was sexually assaulted during her entire childhood met Jesus in her most broken state and forgave her predator who happens to be her dad.
Predator Father
Alicia Nicholas had a dark childhood. Even when she had both parents present in their home, she wasn’t safe. Unfortunately, her father started molesting her at five years old. He threatened her to keep quiet or he’ll harm her. And so, since then, the molestation and sexual assault continued for the next several years.
For nine long years, Alicia endured her dad’s abuse. What’s even worse was that her mother blamed her when she confessed it to her. As a child, the young Alicia felt helpless and broken. Moreover, her shame and guilt grew bigger as she grew older.
At 14, Alicia got pregnant with her dad’s baby. She went through an abortion because of it. That’s when suicidal thoughts began to cloud her mind. She would often try to harm herself. Then, at 15, her parents abandoned her.
Turning To Drugs And Alcohol
Soon after, Alicia turned to hard drugs and alcohol to drown her pain. At 20 years old, she was in a car accident where she begged God to save her. And indeed, God saved her life. After the incident, she stopped using drugs. But she couldn’t give up on her addiction to alcohol because of her painful childhood memories. Her thoughts of ending her life never left as well.
Later, Alicia tried different religions to seek love and validation. She also tried Santeria, but none of them satisfied her.
One day, a Christian childhood friend invited Alicia to church. She attended the Easter Sunday service where she felt the Presence of God for the first time. As the worship was ongoing, she asked God to deliver her from all her sins. Then, she felt a huge weight off her lifted.
