Hello, I am about to start writing about the worst years of my life.
I am anxious because the police just came in here with one of the protesters.

A question I missed out of the previous lot of questions:

Why if the sexual abuse was so mild did it upset me so much?

Sexual abuse is sexual abuse, thats what a leading survivors charity told me, the minute someone touches someone inappropriately and under the wrong circumstances, they are abusing them. It doesn't matter how mild the abuse was, it had an impact, because I was trusting those people and I was vulnerable, the impact of the denials and the way I was treated because of the abuse and speaking up will last forever, huge wounds that you cannot bandage or heal. The men who abused me knew what they were doing and they were in positions of authority and trust, they shouldn't have been enjoying themselves at my expense. And the way the church have treated me because of the abuse makes it all a thousand times worse.
