    • Close Obesity

      I was sexually abused and terrorized by my stepfather from age 7-14.Rest of family also terrorized in different ways. At 14, & after he began hitting my mom,I gathered my brothers & mom, marched them out the back door w/ a rifle pointed at my back. I told him them death was a better life than to live with him, and I got them to safty. Grand Parents helped us then. I feel responsible for the family ever since. My mom passed away in Jan. I have been very depressed and eating out of control since.
