Teddy's message to the world:
These people took my life a way from me. I was never to have children because of the damage these men cause but by the grace of God I have 2 wonderful boys. I can't stay in a relationship because I don't trust men. I have to take medications so I can function in life. My kids are very good boys but I think they live in fear because I trust no one I have taught them to trust no one. I am 47 years old,And I am fill with rage. I hide out in my home. I feel sick when people look at me. I think they know. But on the up side. I am alive today..

Anita, I do not know you, but I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor who stumbled across this site. In looking through it for hope and strength, I found your Teddy. I am from Illinois, and even though I know sexual abuse happens all over the world, seeing your post from somewhere so close to home gave me chills. I hope you find the strength and healing that you deserve.
