Petunia,

As the youngest child and girl, your story is even MORE remarkable.

You really should bear no shame, but how understandable it would be for you to feel that, as a result of what you lived through and SURVIVED. You really should bear no responsibility. At your young age you were thrown into a AWFUL situation through no fault of your own. You were a heroine for doing your best to care for your weaker family members.

Love,
