Oh God, Rich, it breaks my heart to think of the pain you were subjected to. I am so very sorry this happened to you and that this happens to any child. This is so sick and so wrong...
I think it's something no one likes to think about and admit that this is happening, we like to spend our lives in a pink, comfortable bubble. I think it's a good thing that you're trying to shed light on these horrific things...
Again, I am so sorry that you feel this way, because in the time I've known you here, on Steemit, you seem like a wonderful individual and it's really really unfair. Hugs.
