I told a school counsellor and was subsequently put in foster care. I was pressured to retract my statements in visits with other family members, and was later returned to the family home.
When that happened I told myself "I will do what I need to do for now but when I am older I will do what I need to do to heal ME."
The abuse continued until I was able to move away from the city once I was an adult. The very first thing I did when arriving in my new city was find a therapist who could help us.
