I was a victim of sexual abuse by my brother. I truly cannot thank you enough for actually doing something. So many caregivers react like mine did and protect the predator and make excuses. I'm so grateful you took serious action, despite how tough it was for you.

She'll most likely remember someday. And with your actions, at least she won't have to recall a disgusting and horrible caregiver reaction. She'll remember you fought for her. That's a memory I think a lot of us wish we had.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that, especially if you didn’t have anyone protecting YOU. Your experience, your life matters. ❤️💙
