I was abused both physically and sexually by my father – from 9 yrs old until I was 18.
I lived in fear at home and was threatened that my father would harm my family if I ever told.
He told me I deserved the punishments and I believed him.
He got me pregnant and forced an abortion when I was 13.
I never told anyone until I left and never sought therapy until I was 57.
I wish someone, anyone , told me I could tell.
