A Little Ray of Sunshine

This chapter continues to narrate further acts of violence and torture that Rob inflicted upon Dr Langley throughout their relationship, in particular, during Dr Langley’s pregnancy, her labour and birth of her son, Cayden. Rob continued to rape and sodomize Dr Langley immediately after she gave birth to Cayden via a C-section. He belittled and insulted her because of her lactating breasts and told her he did not find her attractive anymore and, instead, forced her to perform oral sex on him several times a day. Dr Langley also offers the reader a pause in her horrific daily encounters of violence with Rob by sharing with the reader her touching experience of the birth of her son Cayden – her ray of sunshine in a very dark and ugly life she shared with Rob. Unfortunately, Rob’s violence extended to Cayden when he abused him several times – from violently shaking him as a baby (until his nose bled) to performing acts of paedophilia on Cayden as he got older. Dr Langley shares her pain, fear and frustrations in wanting to protect her children from Rob but yet having no support networks to assist her, given Rob had isolated and cut her off from all her friends.
