I shouldn't have to own this book:

Nobody should. It should never have had to be written.

It's not just fear that keep children silent, but the terribly conflicting fact that these children love their fathers. It is confusing. And it does ruin lives. You can go on, live, be happy, but nothing will ever take that abuse away.

My heartfelt hugs to all the women here who have experienced sexual abuse. Sadly, there are many of us (and men) in the world.
