The Year Innocence Ended: My Story from Abuse to Abundance {CHAPTER THREE}

Some years ask questions; others shatter everything, stealing innocence without permission. This was the year my story split into before and after. Welcome back to From Abuse to Abundance. I’m Tiffany Carter, and this is Chapter 3: The Year Innocence Ended. Ten years, 3,650 nights—a war I never asked to fight. It began with an ordinary introduction that masked the end of safety, trust, and childhood. This isn’t about the monster in the shadows; it’s about the little girl who learned to survive them. If you’re carrying the weight of a stolen childhood, hear this: your story isn’t over, and neither was mine.
