Andrea Bevan - Something to say

Andrea Bevan

I lived with my grandparents until age five when my mother remarried. At the age of 6, my uncle began sexually abusing me, starting a decade-long nightmare.

The abuse transformed me from an outgoing child to one seeking invisibility.

My home life was further complicated by my stepdad’s alcoholism and violent behaviour.

I stayed silent to protect others’ happiness.

After my grandfather’s death at age eleven, I struggled with drinking and dangerous behaviour.

The turning point came at 18 with my son’s birth. I left my hometown, found work, and began healing through therapy and self-development.

I learned that trauma doesn’t define you; it’s your response that shapes your life.

Today, at 54, I’ve built an extraordinary life, a 26-year marriage, two children, and a successful career across Europe and America.

Despite facing additional challenges like stillbirth and my daughter’s health issues, the healing work gave me the resilience to navigate these with strength and hope.
