Today, I heard the words —
five charges.
Five counts that finally name
what I’ve known all along.
My knees buckled.
I fell to the floor,
tears rushing before I could even breathe.
My chest tightened —
a mix of fear, relief, disbelief.
It’s happening.
Finally.
He’s been charged.
After all the silence,
after the waiting,
after people doubting and pretending —
now the truth has weight.
Now it’s written in ink.
Now it’s real.
But this isn’t the end.
Court still waits ahead —
the walls where I’ll have to hear it all again,
relive, repeat,
watch him face
what he’s spent so long hiding from.
And even though justice has only just begun,
I feel something shifting inside me.
The guilt that was never mine
is starting to fade.
The fear that once ruled me
is losing its grip.
His future is no longer in my hands —
it’s in the hands of truth,
of evidence,
of law.
I’ve carried my pain long enough.
Now, I carry my strength.
So, I’ll let the process unfold.
I’ll let the truth speak louder than I ever could.
Because today marks the start
of accountability.
The start of freedom.
The beginning of justice —
not just in court,
but inside me.
