Thank you so much for your honest account of your lived experiences. I wish all women could/would speak their truth. A major reason abuse can thrive is because of silence. Thank you for doing your part to shatter that silence. My family was torn apart by a sexual predator as well. My mother chose him and went to her grave after not speaking to her own children for 30 years. It's devastating what abusers can do to their victims. Thank you for your bravery in speaking out. In solidarity.
