Do the words "since the age of 12" have any significance for you?

And these were all one-child operations, were they? She had a gun to his head and held him down?

Well, I suppose it's possible.

It's also possible that she only got pregnant at 12 because she reached sexual maturity then, but that she had been, um, receiving attention for longer than that.

Tell you what: you can call her a slut if I can call the male(s) by an even more appropriate name: rapist.

To give consent, a person has to be able to understand the meaning of the act to which she is consenting, and to believe that "No" is a real option. At 12, there's no ability to give informed consent, and the belief in personal power and physical integrity is still fragile. After systematic rape over an extended period (the number of pregnancies only reflects the minimum number of acts), a kind of shock sets in in which the ability to resist is impaired. One could call it the "Sure, Why Not, I Deserve It, I'm Bad And Worthless, Who Cares" Syndrome.

When you are used as an appliance, you will view yourself as an appliance. The earlier you are taught your true status of appliancehood (in this case, through demonstration), the more difficult it will be to readjust your thinking to a saner model.

Get a grip.
