I am sorry for what ever happened to you. mine lasted forever. I would run off even as an adult and they would drag me back . the authorities did nothing for me.
@emilygrizzlybear i was kidnapped and the law helped them do it and to keep me under wraps. i should have run away a long time ago but no one helped me ever. my husband took over for them.
I heard on TV that some children that are abused are so sheltered that they think it’s normal, that everyone’s parents are like that, that that’s just how life is. I imagine it’s not that uncommon a situation. I’ve never been abused myself nor talked to anyone who has been abused about it, so I can’t really relate personally. From what I’ve seen on TV it’s really sad though. Glad you made it out.
