Thank you @valued-customer. Yes, I can look back on everything I have experienced with a sense of hope that things can now be changed. I think there is no way to dismantle existing abusive systems without knowing how they function by living through them. So, my experiences as a child have put me in a position where I can now expose exactly what was done, by who, and how.
Thank you for such a kind message, and I share your view that this community, and those who speak out, can create a better world than we inherited. Have a peaceful day.
