I don‘t know what to say and I want to say so much at the same time. The courage you have to write all that down is impressive, inspiring and astounding for someone like me (who has buried similar experiences for so long). It is also painful and triggers a few of my own memories when I was a young naive girl who believed in the good and wanted to fit in. I am turning fifty this year too, but I doubt I am ready to talk about those teenage years of mine anytime soon. But I think it is so important to talk about, because you and I are surely not the only ones. You are not only speaking up for yourself, but for me and a lot of other women too! Thank you for sharing your story! ♥️
Thank you Suzanne for sharing. It does feel less lonely when paths cross with someone going through something similar. Sharing my young voice in the story is uncomfortable to read, but part of letting go of the pain and misplaced shame. We’re not alone and we did nothing to deserve whatever happened. Thanks Suzanne for your support. 💜
You are not alone, Daphne. Thank you for sharing your story (a sadly all-too-common one).
Thank you Amy for your support. And you’re so right. If not you, then someone you know, and maybe both.

Thank you for standing up for yourself. It is inspiring and encouraging. Again, thank you for sharing! 💚
