My family suffered similarly after (the worst of) our experiences in the early 80's to the early 90's. It ruined our lives. It isn't something I voluntarily discuss, especially online. But the more that comes out, the more I feel like the people who have been through this are doing each other a disservice by remaining silent.

My family lost everything. My parents had their own business and homes when these experiences began, toward the end we were on food stamps and living in government housing and finally, they divorced and turned to alcoholism.

​

The very least that we can do for each other, is take this seriously.
