Town or State where the assault happened: Windsor
Teddy's message to the world:
I am strong. I am beautiful. What happened to me does not define me. It did not make me any less of a person. When you hear of my story, please don't treat me as though you need to "tip toe" around me. The worst is over. I survived, and what a beautiful feeling that is. I am alive, and everyday, the beauty of my surroundings has yet to astound me. Not only am I a survivor, but I am also a thriver. I am strong, and the events that have occurred in my life (although no one should ever have to face) have taught me some very valuable lessons that very few people will ever learn, and to that, Dad, I must say thank you. I forgive you Dad. In no way does this justify your actions, but to hold on to hatred for the rest of my life, doesn't do me any good. I know you aren't living an easy life right now. I believe karma has come to play with you.

Out of respect for the survivors telling their story, all comments will be moderated to ensure they are supportive and kind in nature.
Thank you!
