Tigersassy, I am sorry you have gone through all of this. You are very courageous to share your story with us—thank you for trusting us. I know trust must be a difficult thing for you. My biggest concern right now is that you are in a safe place away from your brother and dad.

I can relate to your story. My abuse started at a young age and escalated as I got older. I am not sure what else to write because so many emotions are brewing around inside of me. Right now, I am mainly thinking about the physical pain you endured as a child. I really feel for you—it was horrible. I know the emotional turmoil must be tremendous—mine was…and sometimes still is.

If it helps you, please keep writing.

PM me if you ever want me to listen.
