Although I am still in the process of healing, being able to say to myself, I experienced this terrible thing, but it doesn't define who I am. I survived what happened to me, and it won't defeat me and all the amazing things I am meant to accomplish in this world. Although some days are harder than others, (I don't always feel strong) being able to have that mindset makes me stronger. Speaking out - by verbalising (or writing) - what happened to me - although bringing everything to the fore again - which is hard - is really helping me to reinforce what I have been through, and how far I have come. I hope that it will also help to encourage others.

Did your step 'person' (for some reason I don't like using the word father given what he did - I hope you don't mind this) abuse your step brother and sister as well? The fact that you now have children of your own speaks volumes!!!!
