What a brave woman you are, Dalila. that was so touching to read that story, how awful it must have been to endure such violence so often.

Its positive that you are talking about it.

You sound amazing, with so much strength and bravery, to be alive today after experiencing some awful beatings from your mother. to be able to "watch the boys", clean up after them and your mother, and with stand all that evilness, is something no child should EVER experience, or adults.

Thos memories must be sickening, when i was reading your story i placed myself in your shoes whilst reading, and that was bad enough, just imagining it, so i dare to think how bad it is for you. you are in the right place though, we will all support you through this, and hopefully, in time, those memories should become distant. and even though you will never forget them entirely, they can be cleansed.

Well done for having so much bravery and courage to speak out about it, there is alot to be learnt from people like you.

take care and stay strong.
