My wife is from Akaska. You would not believe the stories she tells about growing up there. Things she's seen. Friends she's had. Yes, sexual abuse and domestic abuse is out of control in Alaska.

I'm not going to go into details, but this is obviously something extremely raw with me. I believe every single word of this story. I've dealt with it for years now.
