Middlepath, amen to everything you said above!
Now for my question. How exactly did reporting your father work? What was the whole process like? I’m being pushed to do this but am terrified of the consequences. I’m also nervous because like you said, the community was not supportive. In fact they made the situation that much harder for you.
I’ve been told that people will support me etc as long as I have evidence but without evidence then for sure no one will since it’s such a crazy situation. It’s almost not believable.
I’m nervous that the community really will not be supportive and will ridicule my family and myself. I just don’t know if it’s worth putting e/o thru this right now.
