Molestation brings a lot of shame and fear, and it’s hard not to believe that people will blame you instead of the molester. Oprah was such an inspiration. She overcame that part of her life. Plus, Oprah didn’t just tell family and friends. She made an announcement to the whole world. Even though it has been a while back since Oprah talked about her own horrible experiences, the fact that she did speak out continues to give so much to so many. I thank her for using her strength and power for good. I truly believe that she has forever changed the spirit of the Earth, our world, for the better. She is Woman, Earth Mother, Goddess – and her spirit will be a beacon of goodness forever. I don’t want to make any comparisons, but Oprah is in an rare group…. Oprah is eternal.

Details: Ernest Lee Sanders, Sr., is a pedophile and a sexual predator. He was a married math teacher at Rosedale High School (now West Bolivar High School) in the early seventies. Gracie Pearl Jackson was one of his math students. Gracie was an unwed mother and valued this teacher’s advice that she should finish school. JD Rowan, Gracie’s boyfriend, had convinced her to have his baby. I’m that baby. Gracie was fourteen when I was born. I believe JD was nineteen at the time of my birth. Some amount of time before her graduation, while Gracie was still a minor, the married teacher who had gained her confidence began an illicit relationship with her. I don’t know how long before graduation this relationship began, whether months or years. Gracie’s mother learned of this relationship, but failed to report it to the school. Her mother, my grandmother, has since said to me that she regrets this failure.
Ernest Lee Sanders, Sr., the pedophile and sexual predator, at some point divorced his wife. He continued his relationship with Gracie. At some point he must have decided that the divorce was mistake as he left Gracie Pearl Jackson to remarry his wife. At some point, Ernest and his former wife had two children together. The remarriage did not last.
Gracie allowed Ernest to move in with her and her young daughter. Not long after this event, when I was ten years old, Ernest the pedophile put his hands on me in a way that was inappropriate. He said, there was something he had been wanting to do for a long time and asked if he could do it. I nodded my head not having any idea of the violation that was to follow. He touched me and I started to cry. He said that he was sorry and that he wouldn’t do that again. My mother’s house became a densely wooded forest. I felt completely alone, and my outlook was grim.
After being silent for so long, I finally told my family about my mother’s husband molesting me and the fact that I lived in fear and on high alert. I was very afraid to tell them, but I also felt angry and isolated because my family was taken away from me in the sense that I did not go to visit them because it meant having to be around him. I felt so freed from the constant need to come up with excuses for not attending events, and from the real fear that my family might think I didn’t love them. I’ve gained some of my family back, but I don’t feel secure about it. Others in the family, my mother foremost, seem to battling this truth coming out with all their strength. I understand that this type of resistance is common, especially from mothers, but this knowledge gives no comfort from the pain.
To family members of all those who have come forward about their molestation, I say, if you value the life of that person, try to support them no matter what you think you believe when you first hear the story. Yes, it’s that serious. Both literally and figuratively, family support, can make the difference between a molested person choosing between life and death.
I am currently in therapy and I am seeing improvements. Read my journal below to find out more and for general updates, developments with my family, and the evolution of my thinking.
I currently work as a web designer, so getting a website up and going for this cause was one of the first things that popped to mind. I designed this site. I hope that sharing my story openly, honestly, fearlessly and raw will help others who have been molested as well as their families.
