 Melinda:
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

You've earned that anger, hatred and hostility. And it's healthy to express it. The most important thing now is to deal with all of it. To allow yourself to fully feel all of it, but in a safe place. Don't try to do this alone; it's too much to bear. Re-living such horrific abuse feels as though it's happening in the moment. And your body doesn't know the difference between the memory and an actual episode of sexual abuse taking place in the moment. That's why it's so important to seek out some form of counselling. Otherwise, that anger, hatred and hostility will haunt you and over take you. You deserve to be free, Melinda. As long as you're not, that sex offender continues to control your life. Take back your power. Talk to a counsellor. You didn't deserve to be sexually abused. You most definitely deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

 You are EVERYTHING, Mel.
by: Anonymous

First of all, thankyou for sharing, Mel. Thank you for being you. And who you are is incredibly special. You are strong, you have a voice, and you know how to express it. I, and everyone in this world, want to hear you roar!
It takes a lot of courage to share stories such as these, and your anger is justified. It pains me to know that something like this happened to you, but like anything in life, we can either let it defeat us, or we can beat it.
And you seem like you are beating it.
Raising awareness about Sexual Abuse is the best form of revenge, and the more people that hear stories from brave people like yourself, the more people will get the message, meaning that hopefully, one day, we will live in a society where this will no longer be happening as often.
And it's because of people like you, with so much courage in sharing your story, that this will be possible.
