On the question of fear: Does anxiety come to you when you think of fear? If you can hear what I am saying with this, listen up. The crime of incest usually starts when children are very young. They are groomed early and often. This ensures they won’t be sharing their story with anyone and…

I wouldn’t have survived my childhood or the agony that my children lived through if I hadn’t allowed myself to grieve the tremendous losses we had incurred.
