The pain and the memories outweigh the joy found in the sacrament... in every sacrament... twisting it for their own gains... things that bring others so much joy and confidence in their salvation only bring me pain and darkness

Hey @avant-garde ,
Yes yes, I'm okay. Thank you for asking.
I hear how hard things have been for you, and to be honest, it makes me very angry that people use their position of power to hurt others. But I can't say too much here as I don't know the ins and outs of people's story.
I just want you to know that you deserve so much better. You do not have to be trapped in this trauma for the rest of your life.
Sitting with you.

This was the part of my history that the police wanted to know about with the most recent statements, the ones I haven't given them yet because apparently they were waiting on me, ugh, bureaucracy.
Turns out they want to put everything together, including this bit, to go after my dad again

Oh hun @avant-garde .
Do they provide support in doing so?
Take your time and reach out if you need it. You do not have to re-live it on your own.
Sitting with you.

I have a friend, who's more like a big sister, going with me to the interviews. There are no organisations that provide support for victims, not even the government victim support agency.
