As most people on the board know, I was sexually assaulted by my BIL when I was a kid. I suffer with a multitude of mental illnesses and anxiety disorders because of what he did to me, including BDD and PTSD.

I will NOT allow my abuser to own me. I refuse to let him take away my life. He had taken away my childhood, and I refuse to allow him to take anymore from me. I am a homeowner, happily married and have a wonderful family who loves me. He will never EVER take those things from me, he will never break my spirit.

This woman's spirit was totally broken. I feel so badly for her, but I know she will have escaped the physical torture of what her mind and body put her through.

I have found that the tables have now turned in my situation, as my BIL is terrified of me now. I have forged a new relationship with my sister and have forgiven him. He is TERRIFIED that I will tell her about what he did to me. He is not sorry, but he knows as well as I do that I could share the awful details with my sister at any given time. After I went to police, he suffered with a serious illness that affects him to this day.

Karma is the bitch that never forgives, and never forgets. Victims grow up. I don't ever have to do a thing, because he is living with this every single day of his life.]]> mumofsixbirds The PatioFri, 20 May 2016 22:50:43 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,406390,406392#msg-406392 Re: Controversial: a former victim of child sex abuse granted euthanasiahttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,406390,406392#msg-406392 yurble The PatioThu, 19 May 2016 19:01:33 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,406390,406390#msg-406390 Controversial: a former victim of child sex abuse granted euthanasiahttp://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,406390,406390#msg-406390http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/sex-abuse-victim-in-her-20s-allowed-by-dutch-doctors-to-undergo-euthanasia-due-to-severe-ptsd-a7023666.html
