About Me
I have now signed my statement against my abuser. I still miss my granddaughter who passed at the end of November. The one bit of good new is my daughter is pregnant and due in September. I am scared that my abuser will find me, however I have done it in my maiden name and hopefully this will help. He is due to be charged early next year. The police want statements from the rest of my family done so that we can get it to court quicker. We will see, it probably be in 2010. I love being a Nan and enjoy the company of my grandchildren. It is them that keep me going and not doing anything stupid. My son Jeff is back with his wife and it is great, they are both very happy, not to mention their son is happier too.

Moment of Peace
You sound like a very nice person and I hope you're feeling better about yourself and life. I know how it can seem like some of the difficulties that come with having things harder than most can make one feel like a bad person. Believe me, I experience it a little almost everyday and often later find I was worrying for nothing.

Close Sexual Abuse
My father died when I was 4 1/2 years of age mum met this guy within 12 months and he soon moved us interstate and within 2 years of the move the abuse started and increased to include rape at the age of 12 on. Mum left him when schoold nurse contacted her to take me to doctor as she believed I was pregnant but was back with him in 6-8 months and the rape started again. The law here only changed recently (last 2-3 years for abuse prior to 1980), which is when I filed the case. I have now got him onto the police radar and hope that we can prove it. Sharon
