of DU for almost 20 years but following the cancer diagnosis, chemo and God only knows what else, I forgot the password for the original log in info. I was here when Andy fought his valiant fight against Pancreatic cancer, I remember when Khephra's mom , (if I recall correctly) delivered the sad news that he'd left us and so many other things over these last 2 decades.
The one thing I remember to remind myself is this: NO matter what happened, I SURVIVED & what those monsters tried to do, INCLUDING the thing I Laughingly refer to as "my father", (BTW, I'm the ONLY surviving girl...I have 3 brothers but I was the one he beat regularly), even though it is somewhat Pyrrhic, I WON!!
I feel that ANYONE who sexually abuses ANYONE but most nauseatingly, a CHILD, needs to be EXECUTED because in a very real way, a child who is sexually abused loses a part of them they'll never get back.
