I know this thread is intended for DD members, but I hope you won't mind if I post a reply.

I know what it is like to have to cry and make no noise. I know what it is to hide my tears as I grieve so much that I think I can't stand it and then grieve some more. I know what it's like to try to make myself invisible trying to avoid the abuse.

My heart breaks for all the children, teens and adults who have been and are still abused.
