We're glad you came here for support, and it's great if we were able to help! I'm glad you posted again because you may be an inspiration to others who come across this and who are in abusive situations. As growly said, you've done a lot of hard work and called on a lot of bravery to get through this. I'm so glad your dad will be going away to prison where he can't hurt you anymore.

Have they given you any idea when the trial would take place? I imagine that will be the last hurdle, but you can do it. I imagine the first steps were the hardest to take.
