    • About Me

      I am a 21yr old college student finishing my degree in Special Needs Education. I was diagnosed at 16 years old with High Risk HPV. This year I was diagnosed with CIN 3 and my doctors are pushing for a hysterectomy as soon as possible. My medical issues stem from years of sexual abuse from my father who gave me the disease. Everyday is a battle to get out of bed but everyday I fight for a normal life. Thankfully with the support of my family, my friends here on DS and the love of my life I am trying to get my life back. NO DAY BUT TODAY!

    • Close Incest Survivors

      My father was an abusive alcoholic. When I was 5 years old, my grandfather passed away causing my fathers addictions to drugs and alcohol to begin. It wasnt long after that he began taking his pain out on me. This continued until my parents divorced when I was 14. He died two years ago this summer (2009). I wonder every day if that pain will ever go away, if I will ever be able to look at myself again.
