Wow oh wow. This story was very touching and moving. When something lie this happens to someone. You feel as though you are facing it alone. But when you hear someone else’s story you don’t feel alone. I went through the same thing with my bioloigcal father. As I read your story, it sounded so similar to mine. This is something that you can forgive, but not forget. It seems as if I face this on a regular basis due to the awful men we have in this world today. Thank you so much for your story.

Oh Bethany,
How sad, how horrific your life thus far has been. I am currently working with police to convict both my parents, several of my mothers “friends”, my fathers friend and all the while trying to have a relationship with my beautiful, amazingly patient girlfriend and bring up two georgouse teenage daughters, which i have done on my own since they were babies.
Surviving abuse is so hard but im finding with my theropist that surviving is also a tool to be learnt and it can be very rewarding.
I dont belive in God like you seem to, i guess its because of the Spiritual, physical, sexual, drug & mentall abuse i endured but i do wish you well Bethany. I encourage your strength to grow and your heart to flourish. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think it’s good that your dad went to prison, but I still think it’s not fair that the guys who did it to me at the same time never spent on day in prison, and ONLY one day in jail before their boss bailed them out.
I’d be a liar if I said anything different concerning how I feel about the ones who did it to me.

Reading your story reminds me of why I, and so many others, can let our past go and let it be a reason to be stronger. I admire your strength and courage to tell your story as so many of us should. Thank you for being someone I can look up to….

Bethany you are an inspiration. My heart goes out to you with all you went through..
I was abused from under 5 years old was my earliest memory by a friends of my moms my mom new it happened and never stopped it. When I got older I was told she told him to abuse me to teach me about sex it was a sick situation. So I relate to your story. But I did not talk about it until I was 30 I got into recovery and then spoke my truth and started this healing journey it has been over 15 years now in this new journey of healing and recovering. I feel for you and sending positive thoughts out to you. What a remarkable woman you are. Sending you gentle hugs and thank you for sharing your story I know it is not easy come and visit me at my website I would love your input.

Thanks Hugs to you Angela..
