Childhood is supposed to be a time of joy-of playing in the backyard with friends, blowing out candles at birthday parties, and going on family vacations with supportive, loving parents. But what if, as early as the age of five, you had a terrible secret-that your father bad did things to you, when no one else was around? Would you tell anyone, or would you be embarrassed and ashamed? I'm Over It Now is the brave, honest recounting of one woman's horrible trials with a sexually abusive father. From five to eleven years old, Anita Delande was victimized, until her mother caught her father in the act. Years later, though, her mother and father reunited, moving Anita and her siblings back into harm's way. Anita threatened her father, but he threatened right back, making her teenage years unbearable, until finally, she escaped into adulthood. But did she really escape? As an adult, Anita fought with her own low self esteem, depression, and drug addiction. She fought through a destructive marriage and raised three sons of her own. She never told a soul what happened to her ... until now. This is the story of a woman who survived, but more importantly, it's the story of a victim who eventually forgave her attacker and went on to live a fulfilled, healthy life, despite a childhood spent in the dark.
