Teddy's message to the world:
For years, the silence has lain thick upon me. Whenever I tried to speak, others have chosen not to hear. Blaming me for what happened and minimizing what happened not only helped the abusers continue, but has created wounds almost as bad as those caused by the abuse itself. Yet I've continued to speak out and to seek help. Now ears are finally beginning to open. At 23, I'm finally getting the help that I need to heal.
