The grit required to survive thru all that is amazing. I'm sure there is pain that I'll never understand, but know this: I'm glad that you're still here. And I look up to you for having the grit to keep going.

You are not alone. Many go thru such trauma. It has been happening since the beginning, generation after generation. As long as bad people can hide the bad things that they do, it will continue. The only way that it stops is by shining a light on it, by exposing it. By telling us your story, you have shone light on it. This could be the last generation that goes thru what you went thru - because you and people like you speak up. I look forward to the day when bad people are exposed for what they are, and the next generation of children can live the life as they should.

Thank you. I'm just some nobody on the internet, but you have my utmost respect. I'm sure it wasn't easy to write that, but the more people know, the better chance of all this hitting the critical mass necessary to keep rolling on it's own.

Keep going. Survive. Keep working thru it. Thrive.
