This is all very new to me and
at times it's still a very difficult subject for me, Especially when it comes to my own personal abuse. I was sexually abused
for several years and have just recently spoken out about it. I would also like to explain that many people do not understand
why someone would make a webpage such as this. I felt that way too, for a very long time--but now I feel the only way others will
speak out about their own abuse...is to feel that it's ok to.
I was hesitant on whether or not to
post this.. I know my family would not agree with me speaking out. My family is very important to me and I will always
love them--but I find this to be something that hurt me and I wasn't able to stand up for myself during my abuse but I CAN
and I WILL stand up now ... I WILL stand up for ME and if I'm left standing a lone, I will just be standing a lone...but
hey, at least I'll be standing and at least I WILL be able to hold my head up high!!
