I’m french so I’m sorry if my english is not good. I was undergo sexual assault by my father when I was about 6 years old. Between 11 and 13 years old, I was undergo sexual harassment and abuse every day at school. I tried to kill my self at 14. Nobody know. My family don’t know my story. I just talk to my mother but she don’t believe me. My Life was destroy. I try to forget and live but I couldn’t. I need to talk about my story because I don’t want to stay retreat into silence, solitude and shame anymore. I’m 33 and I loose so much time. I can’t have a sexual or love life and I’m very sad.I fight every day to survive. I try to write a book, it’s something very important for me. Thanks to Linor to help women. We have to talk our story to heal ourselves.

Dear survivor – You are so brave. Thank you so much for posting your story here. Trying to forget… it always feels like it would be so much easier, right? But I don’t think forgetting is possible. I hope you can find some people to talk to – maybe a friend who you really trust or a counselor? That might make the fight a little easier. I think you should absolutely write a book – what a great way to get your story out! You are still young; you have a whole life ahead of you. I believe in you – you are strong! Sending love and solidarity!
