35. Sorry to hear that your life was ruined, but I hope you can one day take back your life from this

reprehensible experience. Remember, this wasn't your fault. You were a child and it was the adults who failed you, not the other way around. If you haven't already obtained counseling, perhaps it might help you to come to terms with this issue and take back your life. Your life might have been ruined, but as long as you are breathing you can determine your future and not let what happened to you define you for the rest of your life. Good luck and I wish for you that you wake up tomorrow and say to yourself, "Today is the first day of my New Life. From this day forward, I will no longer punish myself with the belief that my life is ruined forever for the actions of others which I had no control over." Good luck and best wishes.

But I hope you will keep using your voice, even if only anonymously, to speak out against this abuse of young girls. Your voice might make a difference for another young girl since for some sick reason these people don't think this practice has a detrimental impact on young girls lives.

I wish the article did more to name the groups opposing the bill. AtheistCrusader Mar 2018 #1
